Caloundra transformation continues with RCQ's Bulcock Street plans
Fresh off the recent completion of their boutique Caloundra apartment development Bianco, local Sunshine Coast developer RCQ is moving onto their next project, just down the street.
They've filed plans for three towers on a prime 3,640 sqm site at 126-140 Bulcock Street, comprising a mix of short-stay and traditional build-to-sell apartments. The three towers, with 155 units, will be delivered in two stages.
Designed by Architectus, the development reflects the site’s coastal setting, featuring towers with "elegant curves and a podium with a brick facade, a modern interpretation of Caloundra’s heritage and natural beauty."
"The proposed mixed-use development on Bulcock Street, Caloundra, adopts a context-sensitive mixed-use precinct that supports residential and civic functions, reinforcing the site's role within Caloundra’s evolving town centre and aligning with strategic planning goals," the Design Report submitted to the Sunshine Coast Council noted.
The building will feature open-air terraces and high-quality resort-style amenities including pools, wellness areas, and public areas that enhance community connectivity.
Caloundra is going through a renaissance of sorts.
Brisbane builder-developer Gardner Vaughan Group will later this year launch Eden Caloundra, down the street at 1-9 Bulcock. It was announced in June they secured 5,289 sqm, where they are planning 179 apartments across two towers.
GVG Director Sam Gardner says Bulcock Street is one of the premier streets in Caloundra, but it's been left behind in recent years.
"We expect Eden to be just the start of the revitalization of the area," Gardner says.
