Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

Warehouse

A national business has snapped up an industrial warehouse in Maddington, in the City of Gosnells for $3 million (plus GST).   The Davison Street property comprises a total of 7,640 square metres, with 2,761 square metres of building area.
The block is offered easy access to Tonkin, Roe and Albany Highways.
The property was listed by Ray White Commercial (WA) Sales and Leasing Agent Josh Sumner.    Mr Sumner said Maddington was traditionally a transport hub but it was hard to find an asset available of this stature.   “The property also appealed because it was a secure green title lot that’s set in the heart of the Maddington industrial precinct.
Other features included warehouse, office and amenities, canopy, five-ton gantry crane, 12 loading docks and security cameras. The asset also came with 15 roller doors, dual cross overs, container laydown area, ample power, three-phase power and transmitter aerials for communication.
It previously sold in 1988 for $475,000.

A part of the historic Cyclops toy factory in Sydney inner west is up for sale. 
The warehouse at 40-76 William Street in Leichhardt is being marketed by Knight Frank agent Demi Carigliano.
The 6,931sqm property consists of a 10,060sqm commercial building spanning four levels that is rented to a self-storage facility.
It is the last part of the original warehouse, with the remainder having been converted into apartments.
The remaining part of the old toy factory will be offered to the market for the first time in 30 years.
“Investors can either keep it in its current use as a self-storage building, reposition or re-adapt the existing building into a commercial or food and beverage hub or undertake a residential or commercial redevelopment of the site, subject to council approval," Demi Carigliano said.
He suggested the site has the potential to become a precinct similar to The Grounds of Alexandria, Tramsheds in Glebe or the Cannery in Rosebery.
There are no heritage restrictions on the property to prohibit or restrict development.

An inner-city property with three street frontages and potential development in Collingwood has been offered to the market.
Located at 4-12 Langridge Street, the property comprises a standalone brick warehouse with 358 sqm of internal space.
Set on a 368 sqm site, it is zoned Commercial 1 under the City of Yarra Planning Scheme.
It comes with a frontage of 39 metres, 24m to Langridge Street and 15m Little Oxford Street.
The property also features RSD access, off-street parking for up to six cars, and a third access point via a laneway at the rear.  
It is for sale subject to a five year lease, expiring March 2022, at a current rental of $81,120 per annum net.
While the tenant has a further five year lease option, a redevelopment clause provides the owner with the option to give 12 months’ notice to the tenant at any time after the fourth year of the initial term.  
According to marketing agents, Teska Carson’s Luke Bisset, George Takis and Matthew Feld, the property offers an opportunity for investors to acquire a well located freehold, situated in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after inner-city suburbs. 
Mr Takis said the favourable Commercial 1 zoning and multi-storey height precedent provided scope for a multitude of development options.

A local owner-occupier has snapped up a freestanding warehouse in Clyde for $1,255,000.
It sold for a substantial amount over its reserve, $215,000.

It had been occupied by an established tenant for the last 18 years.
The property was sold by Ray White Commercial NSW – Western Sydney Director Joseph Assaf and Associate Director Sam Bechara.
Mr Assaf said because of recent re-zoning in the immediate proximity to mixed-use residential, industrial properties in the area had become harder to come-by.

“There’s a real shortage of properties like this one, and that showed during the campaign with more than 80 enquiries and 31 contracts issued.
“We had eight bidders battling it out on the day, with the opening bid starting at $850,000, before climbing all the way up to the sale price of $1,255,000.
“The buyer had been looking for a property of this type in the area for a while and plans to occupy in the future for mechanical business purposes.” 
The asset offered a warehouse and office area, roller door access, high clearance, three-phase power, three on-site car parks, and truck access.

AN office/warehouse, home to Aussie BBQs and Fireplaces, has sold in the Brisbane suburb of Murarrie for $1.5 million.   The asset, that came with a 373sqm warehouse, 101sqm office and 176sqm BCC approved mezzanine, was sold prior to the campaign.   The property at <a id="LPlnk653855" href="http://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=jRYOrR8N39QzG/Nyy8oj1MsQ8lDBqOLeTQsiE01fqr/solIqpVIvdP83k7zG6scvFJR3lBLs6EP8p8fDxW07cOZKmN1ZWpzXrNGthulOWQkmy0a32H20ywEnCCLBt0rhffUOWhowq+mPMTvpsoQwA7np2MeE2DIk&amp;rh=ff004e92be2b21d14f55af79ab48a4b19580bcfd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">10/210 Queensport Road North</a> was marketed and sold by Ray White Commercial TradeCoast Industrial Sales and Leasing Manager Jared Doyle and Sales and Leasing Executive Jack Gwyn.   Mr Doyle said it was thanks to the intervention of Ray White Commercial Queensland’s Director - Sales John Dwyer that the property never made it to market. 
“We were going to run a formal marketing campaign but decided to run it through our databases first to offer our bank of investors a pre-campaign opportunity.   “John saw the details from our database mail-out and recommended it to a friend of his who was in the market for a solid investment property, and he ended up purchasing the property.   “Murarrie is one of the most sought-after industrial and commercial hubs due to its highly convenient proximity to the Port of Brisbane, Brisbane CBD and the Gateway Motorway, connecting you to Queensland's major arterial network."

A two-storey Moorabool Street, Geelong building, once the John Daniel’s Ironmongery warehouse in the 1860s, has been listed for sale.
The bluestone frontage to Baylie Place is a piece of industrial heritage.
The former Mikasa outlet at 186 Moorabool St, which is hidden behind aluminium cladding, has been listed for auction on May 30.
McGrath, Geelong agent David Cortous holds the listing.
A price guide around $950,000 to $1.045 million has been set.
Mr Cortous said its history as a big warehouse with exposed timber beams could dictate buyers future plans.
Set on a 262 sqm block, it has about 560 sqm of floorspace.
“To be honest, I’ve got somebody looking at it for residential use,” he said. “Using the back entrance as the main facade, decking out the full top floor as a residence with a six-car garage at the bottom.”
The Moorabool St shopfront would be retained, he said.
“There’s a lot more inner city living, especially around the Little Ryrie St area,” he said.
The timber and stone elements warranted an A-listing from the Heritage Council, which lauded timber detailing often absent from the otherwise austere warehouses.
The property goes to auction on May 30 at 11am.

A Chermside property has been sold for $3.5million in an off-market deal to Centennial Industrial &amp; Logistics. 
The partially leased property had a new 10-year lease.
There was also an additional vacant building and a parcel of land for development at 594 Rode Road.
Totaling 10,860sqm, the site features two warehouses of 703sqm and 1,060 sqm at the rear of the site and a 270 sqm showroom.  
JLL Industrial agents Gibson Leembruggen and Fraser Power secured the sale. 
JLL has also been engaged to offer the building for lease and the refurbishment is underway for this tenancy.
“Centennial Industrial &amp; Logistics has invested considerable time in the area with this acquisition enabling them to consolidate a sizeable 4.3 ha holding across three adjoining properties,” said Mr Leembruggen.
“By controlling the neighbouring site they are able to unlock additional value by amalgamating the rear surplus land with 590 Rode Road. 
"Their intention is to develop a high-end industrial estate and land subdivision targeting small-to-medium size users with an end-value of approximately $30 million,” he said.
 “Given the proximity to the hospital, Westfield Chermside and exposure to Rode Road, the site may also offer the potential for higher end retail uses and potentially aged care options.” 
His colleague Fraser Power noted the lease to Allkind Joinery &amp; Glass is returning $160,000 per annum net. 
“The current occupier has called the site home for over 30 years,” he said.  
Centennial Industrial and Logistics is a sector specific, national property funds management group with offices in Sydney and Brisbane.
It has $180 million of investment and development assets under management.

The <a id="LPlnk782630" href="http://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=jRYOrR8N39R+6hBQZ7yXMt0Z3VIjNMZGYr1PkEqKl6Ax+ys3ix4tNjtOaxdsC8ZBolhV+WJOtZo=&amp;rh=ff004bbdd2c5508a98e8d94d014a8aaa51810060" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable">3/21 Lawrence Drive</a> building has a 148 sqm building area along with a 35 sqm approved office mezzanine.
It was one of five units in the complex.   The property was sold by Ray White Commercial Gold Coast agents Jared Johnson and Lachlan Marshall.   Mr Johnson said the seller, who owns and runs his own local fridge panel installation company, was an owner occupier looking to downsize.   “The buyer is an owner occupier looking to upsize from his current space rented in Burleigh."
 He owns and runs Pratley Guitars, a local guitar designer and manufacturer, he said.   “We had an influx of interest from small businesses looking to purchase a property rather than renting.   “The asset was available as vacant possession.”
It was strategically positioned on one of Nerang’s busiest streets, with easy access to the M1 Pacific Motorway, from both the northbound and southbound entry points.   It provides an industrial height roller.

Nerang warehouse sells for $300,000

<html><body>
Hands were being raised furiously as a total of 26 bids saw a Clayton office/warehouse sell under the hammer on site at Unit 21, 1866 Dandenong Road, for $500,000.
With a 219 square metre total building area, <a href="https://www.raywhite.com/vic/clayton/2057662/" target="_blank">the vacant property</a> provided a balance of warehouse and office space, with three car parks on the title that included two undercover.
The property was marketed and sold by Ray White Commercial Oakleigh Sales and Leasing Consultants Joshua Colosimo and Paul Rizzo.
Colosimo said because the business park was so tightly-held, the sale figure reflected a return of $2,500 per square metre, a record price for the estate.
“There was a genuine buzz around the auction with a crowd of 40 people turning up, and the asset eventually sold to a local investor, who will look to lease the property out,” he said.

“The opening bid started at $350,000, and with competition for the site so strong, it was 25 bids later when it eventually sold for $500,000.”   Rizzo said the potential buyers understood the office/warehouse was in a prime location in one of Clayton's most tightly-held and highly sought after business parks.   “The property included a first floor office area of 80sq m* and had ample amenities including ground and first-floor toilets and shower,” he said.   “It also came with a container-height motorized roller door, three-phase power, alarm system, split system heating/cooling and had kitchenette facilities on both the ground and first floor.”
