Nineteen at Broadbeach to take advantage of lack of full-floor apartment stock on the Gold Coast
Full-floor apartment projects have been at a premium since COVID-19 drove both locals and interstate buyers to the Gold Coast, seeking the largest apartments on the market.
But for the last six months or so, there's been little to no projects which are catering for the demand which, local agents report, is still very high.
Enter Nineteen, the new luxury address in a unique pocket on the border of Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise.
Local Gold Coast developer Amansi Projects, led by Ayrton Mansi who has a proven track record in successful developments and land acquisitions, has assembled a team of the industry's top consultants to deliver the ultimate coastal living experience in what is being billed as a one-of-a-kind development.
Mansi says residents will experience the best of both worlds at Nineteen.
"You're close enough to all the amenities of which Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise have to offer, without living in the busy city centre", Mansi says.
“The position and aspect of the site inspired the design direction, resulting in a very special, one-of-a-kind, project that would be very hard to replicate on any other site in the surrounding areas.”
The sought-after corner site had been tightly held since the 1960s, and has long been admired by developers as having all of the attributes to deliver an unrepeatable apartment development.
The project will sit on an amalgamated 809 sqm block at 17-19 First Avenue, 200 metres to the beach. It's located on the corner of First Avenue and Surf Parade, where the likes of Vue Apartments, Infinity, and The Gallery Residences have been developed in recent years.
"The site provides the convenience of being just minutes away from the luxurious Langham hotel and other great amenities," Mansi added.
Each apartment will span 280 sqm of internal floor space, with the balcony taking the total to 300 sqm. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and a study. There's also two parking spaces per apartment. Prices start from just under $3 million, a price which is expected to increase as construction gets closer. Completion is slated for early 2025.
The apartments feature timber flooring, stone benchtops, brushed nickel tapware, feature lighting, V-Zug appliances and smart home automation.
The customisable 527 sqm, two-level penthouse offers four bedrooms, two multi-purpose rooms, and its own private terrace with a sunken lounge with firepit and a swimming pool.
Mansi says the project was designed to meet the needs of the downsizing market from the surrounding local suburbs and interstate buyers looking for a luxurious, owner-occupier apartment with all the facilities and amenities to match.
Nineteen will have two levels of resident’s recreation and amenity, featuring a resort style pool and spa, a gymnasium, sauna and steam room and barbeque areas. Designed for modern living, residents will also have exclusive access to work-from-home suites and a boardroom, with a community lounge and library.
Andrew Erwin at NPA Projects, who are exclusively marketing the project, says the market needs a project like Nineteen.
"It's all about getting the size right in these instances, which Nineteen definitely has. To be offering 280 sqm in every apartment, and not be commanding beachfront prices which could be 30 or 40 per cent higher for the same product, is a huge advantage."
Due to the extensive work from home facilities, Erwin believes he'll be fielding enquiry from those who are still able to work remotely.
"The project talks to the gig economy," Erwin says.
"People can live, work and play in Broadbeach, and also do it within their own building. They're only ever likely to share the space with a handful of other residents at any one time. It almost becomes a private office.
Eastview Australia, which has delivered over $2 billion worth of innovative and sophisticated projects on the Gold Coast, has been appointed as the project and development manager.
