RM Developments lodge Sippy Downs apartment plans

Residential South-East Queensland developers RM Developments has recently lodged plans for an amalgamated lot in the Sunshine Coast.

The 4227 sqm site at 45 Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs, will see two residential buildings created, with the building fronting Central Drive rising seven-storeys and the adjacent Spring Street building climbing five-storeys.

Separated by a central communal terrace and landscaped area, 89 apartments are set to be delivered across the project, with K Architecture engaged to handle the designs.

The project sets out to provide a high quality, sub-tropical building and landscape design, which incorporates a perimeter block form to maintain and define an active public realm.

One one-bedroom apartment will be located on the lower ground floor, with the rest of the project delivering 56 two-bedroom and 32 three-bedroom apartments.

Each apartment will adjoin to a private, open balcony, or in the case of the ground floor residences, a screened courtyard, with landscaping incorporated to add further privacy from the apartments to the communal space. 

The apartments on higher levels will also benefit from park and harbour views, with the project located directly opposite Forest Park.

The communal area will feature a swimming pool, barbecue facilities, as well as a kick and play area. 

RM Developments recently completed the $42 million Plaza Central, a project of 85 apartments and six commercial spaces adjacent to Sunshine Plaza.
