It’s a rare advantage to find a new build along the Gold Coast at the moment. 

While a number of residential projects begin to launch to the market for off the plan sales, McDonald Industries' Park Shore development presents one of very limited chances to secure and move into a new apartment this year. 

The family-owned development group has released the 45 built apartments to meet sustained demand from property buyers in the Gold Coast’s prime lifestyle precincts, with the residences priced well below the replacement cost of new apartments.

With a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, the release delivers a spat of modern residences in the suburb’s sought-after Golden Mile, tipped as the most affordable to come to the locale in years.

Located at 41 Labrador Street, buyers can expect to move in by December, with the unique offering following the extensive refurbishment of the former Sandy Point Resort which was purchased by McDonald Industries in June this year.

McDonald Industries' Alex Pope said the opportunity for buyers to lock into one of the Gold Coast’s prime waterfront markets, with an array of lifestyle amenities at the door, at the prices on offer is extremely unheard of. 

“With construction costs continuing to rise, this development delivers a range of newly renovated apartments at below replacement costs. We believe there is no other building on the Gold Coast or in Queensland that is offering such an opportunity.”

Apartments within Park Shore have just been released to the market for the first time this week, with prices starting from $695,000 to $950,000. 

A focus has been placed on maximising view points across Park Shore, with apartments enjoying aspects to either the waters of Broadwater, the rolling sand banks along the estuaries, the glittering lights of the Gold Coast skyline or to the stretches of the hinterland. 

Spanning approximately 120 sqm, each apartment boasts three balconies to encapsulate the varying viewpoints, while spacious interiors seamlessly blend to bring the outside in. 

Each of the homes will feature large kitchens, adorning European appliances, generously-sized bedrooms and open-plan living and dining areas, along with two bathrooms which include a bath. 

Large internal laundries will be complemented by custom robes, timber composite flooring and plush carpet in the bedrooms, with dedicated entry hallways and ample storage rounding out the offerings. 

Leading Sales Agent, Tim Keenan of Keenan & Co. said Park Shore presented a truly unique opportunity to live and invest in a bygone era of quality building design, spacious layouts and solid construction. 

“They don’t design and build apartments like they used to, and we believe the oversized living area and bedrooms of Park Shore apartments will be exceptionally appealing to today’s buyers,” Keenan said. 

All common areas of the building have been upgraded in the refurbishment, with a stylish reception and foyer, as well as extensive landscaping and garden areas and many of the amenities residents would expect to find in a modern resort-style development.

A large pool with surrounding cabana and barbecue areas will feature, along with a dedicated residents’ lounge that opens onto the lush gardens. Garden areas will also have established fruit and vegetable plantings for the benefit of Park Shore residents.

The entire development has been designed as a pet and bicycle friendly site, taking advantage of the level stroll to the Broadwater, which connects to a number of walking paths, nearby beaches and swimming spots, parklands, restaurants and cafes.

Enhancing the site’s first-class lifestyle destination is the convenience and amenity of both the Main Beach and Harbour Town retail and entertainment precincts only minutes by car.

The Sydney-based McDonald Industries, which was founded in 1974, has leveraged almost five decades of experience in the refurbishment and strata titling of the existing residential apartment buildings to bring Park Shore to the market.

The company has built, renovated and sold more than 7,000 apartments throughout inner city Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane as well as Gold Coast, Townsville and Palm Cove.

“We’ve been renovating whole apartment blocks in Sydney and Queensland for over 50 years and Park Shore is among the most exciting developments we have undertaken in many years,” said Pope.

“This is a quality offering in one of the Gold Coast’s great locations that is timed perfectly for a market looking for project certainty as Park Shore apartments will be ready for residents to move in before the end of this year.”

The development of Park Shore has also contributed to McDonald Industries’ sustainability initiatives. Since acquiring Sandy Point Resort in one line in June this year, the company has donated all 42 furniture packages within the resort to the northern New South Wales flood appeal, which is estimated to have helped more than 2,000 families in the flood affected area.
