Miami

A private local developer is set to develop&nbsp;a rare new luxury low-rise apartment block in the Gold Coast&#39;s Miami.

The boutique residential development, dubbed SANA, at 5-7 Hythe Street, sits on an amalgamated double block totalling 974 sqm, on the prized eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway.

The developers, a collection of local business people and entrepreneurs, engaged Plus Architecture to create to the four-storey building, which will home just 12 apartments.

SANA has been conceived as a sophisticated, modern take on a surf shack by Plus, who created a number of different configurations, including two beach homes across the ground level, each with three bedrooms.

Four apartments will feature across both levels one and two, with Sana topping out with two penthouse apartments on level three, with each apartment is arranged to maximise views to the Miami coastline and beyond.

Crowning the development, the rooftop will have a communal pool deck as well as two private terraces, each with their own pool.

Plus noted in their submission to the local council that SANA is a boutique development that celebrates the relaxed lifestyle of Miami, Gold Coast.

&quot;A paired back material palette consisting of off-form concrete, aluminium &amp; timber look battens provides an honest yet refined architectural form, that rhythmically follows its surrounding landscapes.

&quot;At a pedestrian scale, landscaping softens the built form and plays background to the raw material palette.

&quot;Fixed screening to all elevations further plays on the soft architectural language, as well as providing appropriate privacy + solar shading.&quot;

Several high frequency bus routes service the area, as well as a number of established active transport routes, with dedicated cyclist and pedestrian facilities along Marine Parade connecting the site to Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach and other surrounding suburbs. Sana residents will also benefit from the future Miami Light Rail Station.

Conceived as a sophisticated surf shack by Plus Architecture, the four-storey building is made up of 12 residences in total.

First look: Miami set for rare new apartment development, SANA

The 19-storey Miami beachfront tower sought by DD Living has been approved by Gold Coast council.

The $105-million beachfront apartment tower has been recently marketed as the Alba North Burleigh at the 264 The Esplanade site in anticipation of the approval.

The Bureau Proberts-designed project has apartments priced from $2.25 million through David Devine&#39;s DD Living.

The 30-unit apartment tower on The Esplanade had been scaled down from 22 storeys since its initial application in 2019.&nbsp;

The building height still sits above the suburb&rsquo;s level under the City Plan with its 17th storey aligning with the 53 metre code assessable building height.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100278 project_image_fid=189549]

There were 255 objections from owners in the nearby Mariner Shores apartment complex, according to the Gold Coast Bulletin.

The slender tower with a typical 505sqm floor plan will &shy;replace the 1960s three-storey walk-up on the 1012sqm holding.

The council report said the proposal was 59.6m in height.&nbsp;

The development is located within the Urban neighbourhood which, under limited circumstances, allows for an increase in building height of up to 50 per cent (in this instance, 79.5m providing the relevant provisions are satisfied).

&quot;The proposed development is a well-designed building that complements the existing and emerging character of the area.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100278 project_image_fid=189549]

&quot;The proposed built form of the development has been designed to achieve a well maintained interface to the adjacent properties.

&quot;The building has been treated with high quality materials to enhance the visual appearance of the building, along with a varying colour pallet.&nbsp;

&quot;Planters are incorporated within the building articulation at all levels of the development to provide visual interest and to soften the built form.&nbsp;

&quot;After a detailed assessment, it has been determined the proposed development is able to satisfy the provisions warranting an increase in building height of 6.6m above the mapped building height of 53m.&nbsp;

&quot;The cumulative consideration of built form setbacks, site cover, landscaping elements and architectural design confirm the developments ability to satisfy the additional height considered within the 50 per cent uplift provisions of the Urban neighbourhoods element.&quot; the report from council advised.
