PET grooming stations, high-speed lifts, bocce lawns and now Australia’s first sky garage — luxury apartment living has hit a whole new level on the Gold Coast.
Plans for The Monaco residential apartment tower on MacArthur Pde in Main Beach were given the green light by council this week, paving the way for would-be residents to drive into a personal car lift that stops inside their apartment.
Designed by Rothelowman architects, marketing for the sky garage project by development firm Ignite Projects is now being finalised.
Prized pooches will be taken care of in a pet grooming station while residents can partake in a round of virtual golf or visit an onsite wellness studio and a 24m lap pool.
The 23-level tower will comprise eight half-floor sky villas, 16 full-floor sky villas and one double-storey penthouse, ranging in price from $1.8 million to $4.9 million.
While the sales campaign officially starts next month, NPA Projects director of project marketing Andrew Ramsey said interest was already high among local downsizers.
“There is an appetite for this level of luxury, particularly among locals who want to upgrade in Main Beach,” he said.
At nearby Broadbeach, residents of the near complete $79 million Elysian apartments will be able to lap up the luxury of an automated carparking system. The state-of-the-art technology, said to be a first for a Gold Coast development, parks and retrieves residents’ cars.
The 96-apartment Cannes, taking shape on the waterfront at Surfers Paradise, touts a riverside boardwalk, a super-sized 25m lap pool among its luxury inclusions. Construction has also started on the $210 million Signature Broadbeach which boasts a 50m infinity edge pool.
The Surfers Paradise super tower named Ocean, set to be the city’s highest residential apartments once completed around mid-2022, will have five high-speed smart lifts that will travel at seven meters per second.
Down at Rainbow Bay, Flow Residences is designed for luxe-loving surfers, with personal surfboard lockers, a secure boardroom and boardshare, formal dining, a members wine storage, and more.
