Leading Gold Coast-based developer <a href="/developers/aniko-group">Aniko Group</a> has reached a significant milestone in its $500 million transformation of Hope Island with the completion of its premium townhouse development, 35 Grant Avenue.

All 58 townhouses have sold.

George Mastrocostas, Managing Director of Aniko Group, said the project’s success reflects a strong market appetite for luxury housing in <a href="/developments/hope-island-qld-4212">Hope Island</a>.&nbsp;

“The sell-out of <a href="/buildings/no-35-grant-residences-35-grant-avenue-hope-island">35 Grant Avenue</a> highlights the continued demand for sophisticated and functional homes in sought-after locations like Hope Island”, Mastrocostas said.

“This waterfront development is part of our broader vision to enhance the quality of life for residents and contribute to the ongoing revitalisation of the area.”&nbsp;

35 Grant Avenue comprises architecturally designed two-level townhouses offering spacious three-bedroom layouts set within a secure, private gated community.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95316 project_image_fid=201428]

Each townhouse features outdoor private courtyards with paved terraces and generous-sized balconies on the upper-level.

The interiors boast high-quality finishes, including Herringbone engineered timber flooring throughout the ground-level living area and ducted air conditioning throughout the main living area and bedrooms.

35 Grant Avenue features fully equipped kitchens designed for modern living, with under-bench wine fridges, electric cooktops, and quality stainless steel appliances.

The development also offers residents first-class amenities designed to enhance waterfront living, including a luxurious resort-style pool, waterfront boardwalk and private marina berths.&nbsp;

Providing residents with a peaceful, luxurious lifestyle while fostering a sense of community, 35 Grant Avenue also includes lush green landscaping, an outdoor BBQ and dining area, and an outdoor firepit and lounge area. &nbsp;

“35 Grant Avenue has been designed to promote community while offering residents quality living and the opportunity to indulge in the peaceful waterfront life,"&nbsp;Mastrocostas added.

"This focus on quality and connection has deeply resonated with our buyers."

The project’s strategic location further adds to its appeal, with direct access to the Hope Island Marketplace and proximity to the Gold Coast’s major shopping centres, dining precincts, and recreational areas.&nbsp;

“The completion and sell-out of this project highlights the strong demand for quality homes in this area.

“It reinforces our commitment to delivering developments that are not only well-designed but also meet the evolving needs of residents looking for both lifestyle and convenience.”

Following the completion of 35 Grant Avenue, Aniko Group is setting its sights on the Gold Coast’s biggest project in two decades, The Landmark in Mermaid Beach, which is due to start construction in early 2025.

Having already launched a ‘Register Your Interest’ campaign for the first stage, <a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-mermaid-beach-14-seaview-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Landmark</a> is primed to become one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic developments, featuring four towers and an internationally branded hotel yet to be announced.&nbsp;

“We are pleased with the momentum we’ve built with 35 Grant Avenue, and we look forward to bringing our focus to delivering The Landmark in Mermaid Beach, which is set to be a game changer for the Gold Coast on an international scale”, Mastrocostas concluded.

Gold Coast and Canberra apartment developer, Morris Property Group, has completed Malo Broadbeach, its eighth apartment development in the booming suburb south of Surfers Paradise.

Located on Jubilee Avenue, a stone's throw from the <a href="/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> Light Rail stop and Pacific Fair, <a href="/buildings/malo-broadbeach-8-jubilee-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Malo</a> is made up of just 16 half-floor apartments across a nine-level building.

Each apartment has three bedrooms and around 130 sqm of internal living space.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112549 project_image_fid=311718]

The apartments have been designed to take in as much of the surrounding area as possible, with floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed windows and doors that maximise views of the Gold Coast skyline and coastline.&nbsp;

Located in the heart of Broadbeach, Malo offers residents convenient access to some of the area’s most popular attractions.&nbsp; A short walk takes residents to Surf Parade, a lively hub with a range of dining options, while the famed Pacific Fair, the fifth largest shopping centre in the country, is just a few streets away.

Kurrawa Beach and its surrounding parklands are a short walk.

Malo offers the most affordable apartments the Gold Coast has seen, and likely will see, for years.

Leading Australian integrated property development group, Aqualand, has today formally opened its greatly anticipated <a href="/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a> mixed-use precinct.

Project delivery partners, stakeholders, staff and special guests joined the Mayor of North Sydney, Zoë Baker, <a href="/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a> Group Managing Director, Jin Lin, and Aqualand Group Executive Chairman, Warwick Smith AO, for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new development at&nbsp;168 Walker Street, North Sydney, which was followed by a celebration in the new project precinct.

Towering 28 storeys above the streetscape, and commanding stunning views of Sydney Harbour, the striking $1 billion&nbsp;<a href="/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>-designed mixed-use residential community features 386 luxury apartments above a richly landscaped community precinct, including a two-storey curated food and beverage podium with four world-class venues operated by their hospitality business, Etymon Projects.

The landmark building is Sydney’s latest example of architecture as sculpture, a category that includes some of the city’s most memorable buildings, including the Sydney Opera House, Barangaroo House and Darling Harbour’s The Exchange.

<img alt="AURA by Aqualand ribbon cutting" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="613b3d64-3355-46dc-8c49-ba8c972539a4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/DSC03116.jpg?VersionId=jkbTzh7xg_XWekAp_8SyzeWunSSy7KnE" />

AURA’s gracefully undulating organic shaped facade creates the illusion the single structure is divided into four separate towers, with staggered peaks stepping down from level 29 to level 23. Its distinctive hourglass shape cinches in at the level-nine ‘waist’ of the building, where the resident’s community centre is located.

Architect Jason Fraser, Principal at Woods Bagot, sought inspiration from the eroded sandstone forms of Sydney Harbour’s water’s edge and the ever-changing play of light on the water, with its ground plane featuring the same natural sandstone seen all through the prestigious suburb, to integrate the building into the unique landscape.

Delivered by Aqualand’s internal construction arm, <a href="/builders/aqualand-australia">Aqualand Construction</a>, work on the project commenced in January 2020 and saw hidden luxury inclusions built into every layer of the building’s fabric to future-proof the structure, rather than just expressed via the visible fixtures and fittings.

AURA’s luxury oversized apartments exceed the minimum building requirements, with the standard size for a two-bedroom apartment in the area measuring 80sqm, whereas AURA’s measure 95sqm, plus a wintergarden, making them well over 100sqm in total.&nbsp;

<img alt="AURA by Aqualand worm view" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="81d90657-b28e-4119-81a5-d3fd43253fc3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/aura-dslr-26.jpg?VersionId=B_F.ccdZjgQbnhJfqE5kFmRwtOxgnYzx" />

Residents are set to benefit from an elevated luxury lifestyle with amenities including a dedicated concierge service, wellness centre with gym equipped with world-leading fitness technology brand TechnoGym, pool and spa. A glamorous rooftop area offers a sky sun deck, private dining spaces, barbecue and kitchen space for year-round al fresco entertaining.&nbsp;

The community centre includes working and entertaining amenities, including a cinema room.

Luxury inclusions include the integration of the latest technology, including provisions to charge electric vehicles. A pool of Tesla share vehicles is available for residents to hire, all apartments have full fibre nbn internet connections, and Wi-Fi hot spots have been installed in common areas throughout the entire building.

Crowning the tower are the <a href="/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richards Stanisich</a>-designed Aqua and Prima penthouses, which share the entire 28th level. The largest penthouse, Aqua, features a master suite, complete with substantial walk-in dressing area and ensuite, three other bedrooms, second ensuite &nbsp; and another bathroom, powder room, open plan kitchen, scullery, substantial dining area and generous living room divided by a feature fireplace, and a multifunction wintergarden, which is ideal for a study and adjoining office breakout space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=284307]

To assist residents with their lifestyle needs, Aqualand has appointed Etymon Concierge to deliver tailored specialised concierge services onsite, as well as premium bespoke lifestyle management.

Whilst these traditional concierge services will be provided to all AURA residents as part of their strata, such as the booking of amenities, including the pool, gym, rooftop Sky Deck, community room, meeting rooms and other bookable spaces - either face-to-face or via a dedicated app - two more bespoke layers of services will be available at additional cost. 
Known as Concierge Now, the second tier offering includes the sourcing and management of specialist services such as dinner party organisation, the curation of a wine cellar, or executive assistant expertise, for instance.

The top-tier lifestyle management service, known as Black Key, is by invitation only and provides the ultimate in bespoke personalisation. This could include a range of everyday discrete services, from having groceries delivered, pets fed or plants watered, dinners or snacks and coffees ordered and delivered, recommendations on touring cultural events, including ticket sourcing, right up to organising visas and airfares for international travel. &nbsp;&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=284310]

AURA’s extensive podium level retail precinct provides residents with a curated shopping and dining destination on their doorstep, including Sol, a bakery, café and wine bar; Una, an artisanal providore; Soluna, an LA-inspired all-day diner and bar; and Genzo, a Japanese restaurant. A network of landscaped laneways welcomes visitors into the precinct.&nbsp;

Aqualand’s collaboration with award-winning landscape architects, <a href="/landscape-architect/turf-design">Turf Design Studio</a>, has resulted in a ground plane design that successfully integrates the project with the unique local environs of the characterful suburb.&nbsp;

This landscape design was recently embellished with the installation of the site-specific public art piece titled ‘landscape’ by UK artist Richard Sweeny, which graces the Walker Street entrance to the precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=284311]

<a href="/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a> represents the fifth residential project delivered by Aqualand since the company’s launch in 2014, and today joins a portfolio of other completed luxury projects, including BLUE at Lavender Bay in Milsons Point and The REVY at Darling Island.

Jin Lin said the project’s completion in time for Aqualand’s tenth anniversary was fortuitous as it perfectly showcases what Aqualand has come to stand for over the last decade.

“We’ve achieved some remarkable milestones over the past 10 years, but really, we’re only at the start of our journey, and the future looks extremely promising," Jin Lin said.

"AURA stands as testament to us delivering on our objectives, which is to be the leader in positively transforming Sydney and our local communities through design excellence.&nbsp;

“We’re committed to collaborating with the world’s finest designers and delivery partners and have an unwavering commitment to design excellence and delivering the highest build quality possible. We exist to provide a new sense of place for people to live, work and play, with an enriched lifestyle at all levels, and AURA perfectly demonstrates all of these attributes."

Jin Lin said delivering AURA has been an incredibly challenging and rewarding experience for everyone Aqualand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=284308]

"AURA will be home to more than just its residents. It’s set to become a North Sydney hub with its world-class retail spaces and the deep commitment invested in the suburb’s vibrancy and night-time economy through these venues.

“As the sole developer and builder of the state significant Central Barangaroo precinct, potential buyers there can now look to AURA as a living and breathing exemplar of what they can expect to us to deliver there. They can see the understated luxury we stand for first-hand, and this is incredibly rewarding."

Aqualand’s Head of Sales and Marketing, Alex Adams, said AURA’s completion is the start of an exciting new phase in the project’s customer journey.

“AURA is no longer an off-the-plan project. It’s now complete and move in ready. This removes any uncertainty in a potential buyer’s mind about purchasing off-the-plan, as they now have no doubt about the build quality. They can now see and feel the construction standards we insist on first-hand," Adams said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=284265]

“As our clients start to take move into their amazing new residences soon, potential buyers can visit the brand-new sales showroom at the Walker Street entrance and book a tour of the beautiful display apartments, which are fully furnished by Space Furniture to choose the layout that best suits them. They can also now see the incredible resident facilities and experience the amazing hospitality venues in the podium levels. AURA’s unique contribution to the broader North Sydney community is now clearly evident.

“We’ve seen outstanding sales already for AURA, which is testament to our clients’ trust in us. We achieved $100 million in sales in February alone, with the outstanding figure breaking the North Shore record for the highest sales volume and revenue achieved in one non-launch month."

Adams says&nbsp;AURA’s sales performance is a key indicator of the robust luxury market, coupled with a dire shortage of luxury stock and persistent rental shortages adding further pressure.

"Our buyers understand AURA really is incomparable to any other projects on the north shore for so many reasons, including its close proximity to so many top-tier private schools being just one on a long list of unique selling points."

<a href="/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a>&nbsp;Founder Christie Leet says success in sales for Perspective on Albatross has been driven by demand from a mixture of local owner-occupiers and downsizers.

“Many of these buyers are local downsizers who have been enticed by the unique location, spectacular architecture and beautiful living spaces that take full advantage of an elevated beachside location”, Leet said.

“Notching closer to 100 per cent sold is largely due to the surge of owner-occupiers who are continuing to drive the demand for apartment living on the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, during a time when available stock is at an all-time low.”

Perspective on Albatross is situated just 160 metres from the beach, offering a prime location in <a href="/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>.&nbsp;
