First look: Sherpa continues to expand Palm Beach pipeline with plans for Flourish Oasis
Sherpa Property Group has quickly become the most active developer in Palm Beach.
Their recent descent on the beachside Gold Coast suburb has been driven primarily by their new affordability-focussed brand, Flourish, which, with considerably lower entry points than most projects across the whole region, has unsurprisginyl been a hit with buyers.
Their latest Flourish play is on Sixth Avenue, where they are proposing Flourish Oasis, 47 apartments across a 14-storey building.
Flourish Oasis takes cues from the site’s proximity to the beach and the relaxed coastal lifestyle, according to the documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council by HAL Architects.
“Balconies stretch like waves and wings, echoing the motion of the sea and sky,” the architecture firm noted, describing the facade’s form as "fluid and expressive."
In line with Sherpa's commitment to rooftop amenity, Oasis will have a rooftop pool, hot and cold plunges, and barbecue and alfresco spaces, all set amid extensive landscaping and with views across the coastal skyline.
Sherpa only recently acquired the 810 sqm site, in another site acquisition splurge which also included a 2,050 sqm site at 1156-1164 Gold Coast Highway.
Flourish Oasis, and the Gold Coast Highway project, will become Sherpa's third and fourth Flourish projects in Palm Beach, after Ovana and Flourish on Sixth. The developer expanded into Brisbane recently, launching Symphony, another under the Flourish banner.
Christie Leet, founder of Sherpa, the group’s ambition is to lead Palm Beach’s renewal.
“Palm Beach is buzzing, but it’s been near impossible for locals to find something new that fits their lifestyle and budget,” Leet said.
“There’s a significant price gap between beachfront and non-beachfront properties – typically around 30 per cent, but in Palm Beach it can be closer to 100 per cent. That presents a tremendous opportunity, and we believe it’s our obligation as Sherpas to identify and deliver it for our community.”
