Runaway Bay

The launch of Ocean Suites on Jennifer has seen rightsizers descend on the small Runaway Bay enclave in the northern Gold Coast.

The luxury waterfront project of just seven villas at 10-12 Jennifer Avenue is being targeting by those seeking something different to a high-end Gold Coast beachfront apartment, which have been in plentiful supply for the last few years.

Each villa has between 345 sqm and 388 sqm of internal living space across four levels.

&nbsp;

The smart home-enabled villas have four bedrooms, two living areas, a rumpus room, media room, study nook, their own private marina berth, and a waterfront plunge pool.

Crowning each villa is a rooftop bar and entertainment level, accessible by a lift which runs from the basement garage to the roof.

Developer Sand Side Developments is undertaking the boutique development with award-winning builder Alroe, which has completed prior projects on the Gold Coast including Habitat at Tugun and The Palms at Palm Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214432]

Knight Frank agent&nbsp;James Elliott said he expects&nbsp;interest from a range of buyers, including local rightsizers, people who are planning their retirement in the next five years and looking for a residence now, and those looking for a holiday home on the Gold Coast. Elliott believes the project will also attract international buyers.

“Our initial feedback demonstrates that Interest from rightsizers has already been very strong, with this product suiting these buyers perfectly, with every amenity you need spread over the four levels," Elliott said.

Elliott said the biggest selling points of the development were its idyllic waterfront location and the luxury inclusions.

“With only 300 meters to direct ocean access to the Broadwater and only 80 meters stroll to an exclusive beach, Ocean Suites is like nothing the Gold Coast has seen before," Elliott said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214446]

“The waterfront residences are coastal havens, fostering a truly outdoor lifestyle. Ocean Suites enjoys a central and convenient location that’s close enough to the amenity of Runaway Bay and surrounds to ensure accessibility, yet far enough away to maintain a sense of seclusion, so residents can enjoy all their backyard has to offer without having to venture too far from home."

Prices start from $2,995,000.

“Given what’s on offer in the waterfront location, Ocean Suites on Jennifer sits at a very competitive price point, with buyers able to take advantage of the impending growth in the market," Elliott added.

“The residential market is accepted to be on the way back up and prices will only rise further from here as the population grows and demand continues to be strong.”

Belvue Runaway Bay: Embracing the best of coastal living

Global design practice Plus Architecture were engaged to design the luxury $130 million Runaway Bay apartment tower, Belvue.

Their design inspiration came from the&nbsp;Belvue’s highly coveted waterfront location, set on the last east-facing high-rise opportunity in the Gold Coast suburb.

"Inspired by the essence of coastal refinement, these luxurious contemporary residences offer timeless design, elegant finishes and breathtaking views," Plus Architecture Director Danny Juric said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210143]

"Embodying an opulent aesthetic, the building’s curved form reflects the ebb and flow of the ocean with the façade becoming an extension of its breathtaking location."

The tower design is fully orientated to take advantage of its waterfront location. Each of the 31 full floor apartments feature an atrium dining space, which Juric says will make residents feel they are dining right on the water's edge with the glowing city skyline as the backdrop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210145]

"[The atrium will] transform a regular dining party into a cosmopolitan soiree," Juric said.

Each kitchen features a solid island bench carved from Taj Mahal stone, as well as a generously sized butler's pantry and integrated Gaggenau appliances.

There are three bedrooms in each apartment, as well as a multi-purpose room, three bathrooms, and two car spaces.

On offer at Belvue are three villas at the foot of the building, each featuring their own private courtyard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210153]

Residents of both the villas and the apartments will have access to Belvue's extensive hotel-like amenity.&nbsp;

There will be a gym next to the main pool, as well as a barbecue pavilion, while past the tower is a second pool, overlooking the water.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210142]

There's also a sauna and a steam room, as well as poolside cabanas, and a private terrace leading down to the beach.

Prices for the 273 sqm apartments start from $3,545,000. The development-approved project is targeted to be complete by mid-2025.

"Inspired by the essence of coastal refinement" How Plus Architecture designed Belvue Runaway Bay

It's full steam ahead for the recently approved Belvue Broadwater, the luxury $130 million tower in Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast.

A builder is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, after the project was given the greenlight earlier this month. Construction kick off is slated for the second or third quarter for this year,&nbsp;Monaco Property Group Director Jonathan Grasso says.

Belvue Broadwater will be the first residential tower to be built in Runaway in over three decades, also offering the last east facing, absolute waterfront high rise opportunity in the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210143]

The Plus Architecture-designed tower will have 31 full floor apartments across 31 levels, as well as three tri-level fully detached houses within the gated estate which will feature a host of resort-style amenities.

Residents will have access to two swimming pools with waterfront daybeds and cabanas. A swim up bar, barbecue pavilion, gymnasium, sauna and steam room will sit among rich gardens and relaxation areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210150]

NPA Projects Director Andrew Erwin says there has been significant interest from interstate relocators and locals looking to downsize from northern Gold Coast suburbs such as Hope Island, Sanctuary Cove and Sovereign Islands.

“This is blue chip real estate; the land has been tightly held for 50 years and locals who already know and love the area, recognise that Belvue represents a once in a generation opportunity,” Erwin said.

“It’s also appealing to interstate buyers seeking a waterfront lifestyle, offering arguably one of the longest and most incredible view lines on the Gold Coast.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210144]

“Many of the downsizers are coming from large-scale homes and are seeking to elevate their lifestyle with lower maintenance living, without having to compromise on the feeling of space and comfort."

Apartments span over 270 sqm and will have&nbsp;uninterrupted, never to be built out Broadwater and Ocean views. They will have three-bedrooms and a multi-purpose room. Prices start from $3,545,000.&nbsp;

Belvue Broadwater to launch after council approval

The Gold Coast&#39;s Runaway Bay is set to see its first residential tower to be developed in the idyllic Gold Coast waterfront enclave for almost three decades.

Belvue, French word for beautiful view,&nbsp;is set to be developed in a joint venture between Monaco Property Group and Polites Property Group, who has just lodged a development for the project.

The luxury tower on a 3,116 sqm site at 13-15 Bayview Street, has been designed for the&nbsp;owner-occupier, with just whole floor apartments.

The 31 apartments, which have four bedrooms each (or three and a multi-purpose room), will each take up a level of the 31 storey building, which is reminiscent of a resort-style hotel, without the mass number of rooms.

Plus Architecture, who are handling the design, call Belvue&nbsp;&quot;the sophisticated newcomer to Runaway Bay.&quot;

&quot;It&#39;s an elevated lifestyle with resort-style amenities,&quot; Plus advise in their design statement.

Upon entry to the waterfront site will be&nbsp;three luxury detached villas, each spanning two levels with three bedrooms and a private&nbsp;outdoor terrace area.

The tower is set at the rear of the block, past the luxury, resort-style swimming pool and landscaping by FORM landscape architects.

There will be a gym next to the main pool, as well as a barbecue pavilion, while past the tower is a second pool, overlooking the water. There&#39;s also a sauna and a steam room, as well as poolside cabanas, and a private terrace leading down to the beach.

The tower is targeting the owner-occupier, with each apartment having 246 sqm of internal space, with at least 23 sqm of external area. There are two balconies per apartment, one off the kitchen, living and dining area, the other accessed on the other side of the apartment.

&ldquo;Runaway Bay&rsquo;s development history dates back to the 1970s and it set the benchmark for residential apartment living on the Gold Coast in the 1980s and 1990s,&rdquo; Alex Polites said.

&ldquo;But since then, the Gold Coast has evolved into a sophisticated city envied not just as a holiday destination but for its coastal lifestyle. Now, finally, the time has come for the reinvigoration of Runaway Bay as one of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s premier waterfront residential addresses.

&ldquo;All of the 34 luxury residences in Belvue will offer a new design benchmark and the ultimate in sophisticated coastal living.&rdquo;

Jonathan Grasso said Belvue had been meticulously designed to capture the most amazing views the Gold Coast and to create a private resort-style atmosphere on one of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s quietest and most exclusive Broadwater enclaves.

&ldquo;Our team has spent a lot of time designing and curating what we believe will be a highly unique luxurious residential offering for this pristine part of the Coast,&rdquo; Grasso added.

Plus Architecture, who are handling the design, call Belvue "the sophisticated newcomer to Runaway Bay."
