The Isles — Ignite Projects’ Luxury Gateway Marks The Spit’s Superyacht Era

It is to be a $100 million entrance statement – just to leave no doubt that you have arrived among the uber-rich superyacht set at one of Australia's most exclusive waterfront enclaves.

Gold Coast-based developer Ignite Projects has been selected to deliver a landmark mixed-use precinct at the gateway to The Spit, north of Surfers Paradise.

Its vision – one with a distinctive curved facade – is designed to "set the tone" for the transformative new era of ultra-luxe development and public realm upgrades under way on the 5km long peninsula of sand.

To be known as The Isles, the three-storey scheme has been designed by award-winning local studio Contreras Earl Architecture.

Overall, it would comprise 27 luxury apartments, restaurant and bars, a commercial marina with up to 18 berths, as well as a $2.7-million revitalisation of adjacent parkland – including a new boardwalk.
