Turrisi Properties make first Gold Coast foray with Broadbeach tower plans

The Brisbane-based developer Turrisi Properties have taken their first step in to the booming Gold Coast market.

They're starting in Broadbeach, where the family-owned company have lodged plans for at 9-11 Armrick Avenue for a Rothelowman-designed, 22-level tower of 81 apartments.

Turrisi founder and managing director Gaetano Turrisi said liveability was the top priority in the design.

“We are passionate about the development of the highest quality bespoke residences in Southeast Queensland and excited to be bringing our design standard to the Gold Coast,” said Turrisi Properties managing director, Gaetano Turrisi.

“As our debut project on the Gold Coast, this is an opportunity for us to enhance one of the world’s most famous beachfront skylines and we have not made any compromises in crafting a well-designed residential tower with liveability as the top priority.”

The renowned architecture firm Rothelowman designed the tower, which will comprise two and three bedroom apartments, as well as small collection of four bedroom penthouses which will each have their own rooftop decks with a spa, kitchen, living and dining facilities.

The design pays homage to the Gold Coast’s mid-century past that echoes tropical modernism.

“The design of our Armrick Avenue project encapsulates the quintessential coastal experience, including an operable façade that allows residents to tune their environment to the current conditions and is a short walk to the beach, a surf club, Norfolk pines and a bowls club - the existing collection of civic offerings allows for the creation of a new civic promenade along Armrick Avenue,” Turrisi said.

“Also, the contemporary but timeless design elements of the development are enhanced by extensive podium and rooftop communal amenities that add value to residents as well as the local community.”

The podium communal recreation area features a gym, pool, sundeck, spa, sunken lounge, dining and teppanyaki/ barbecue facilities. On the rooftop, the communal amenity includes a private dining room with kitchen and TV facilities as well as an open air spritz bar overlooking the beach.

A landscaped tropical formal entry and beach entry with beach showers sit on the ground level, as does a Zen Garden and surf craft room.
