Rare new luxury apartments set for Runaway Bay as Aqualis launches
Runaway Bay, an exclusive waterfront suburb on the coveted Gold Coast’s North Shore, has seen very little new apartment development for several years.
While units only account for less than 30 per cent of total dwellings in Runaway Bay, representing around 1,100 apartments, property data analytics firm CoreLogic shows there are only around 300 three and four-bedroom apartments making these exceptionally sought after.
The lack of supply of new homes and, in particular, of three and four-bedroom apartments in the desirable suburb, paves the way for Aqualis – a luxurious development of only 18 three and four-bedroom residences on the dress circle Oatland Esplanade, fronting Pacific Park and offering never-to-be-built-out views over the Broadwater to South Stradbroke Island and The Spit.
The boutique four-level building has been designed for both holidaymakers and downsizers, featuring some of the largest apartments ever offered in the area.
Designed to embrace its waterfront location by XL Architecture, Aqualis apartments have been oriented to take in as much of the stunning and expansive views as possible.
Each residence features an open-plan layout with full-height stacking glass doors that lead to covered terraces overlooking parklands, beaches, and the Broadwater.
The open kitchens are equipped with integrated Miele appliances, a kitchen island that can be customised in two different countertop materials, and walk-in butler’s pantries.
The master bedrooms all enjoy balcony access to take in the views of the water, as well as large ensuites and walk-in robes.
Residents will enjoy facilities including a waterfront swimming pool, a fully-equipped gym with a sauna, and a barbecue terrace set within landscaped grounds designed by award-winning firm Shepherd. The development also uniquely features a resident-only 12-berth marina with four additional jet-ski docks.
A builder has been appointed to deliver Aqualis, a milestone step in the development process that gives buyers confidence.
