Block is a Robina gem
THE sale of a massive 1.17ha parcel in Robina is being touted as an opportunity to build a mixed-use project in the central suburb.
Robina Group is offloading the property at 116 Laver Drive with approvals in place for up to eight storeys in a residential, commercial or mixed-use project.
The shovel-ready site is being marketed by CBRE’s Mark Witheriff and Colliers International’s Brendan Hogan and Steven King in an offersto-purchase campaign closing on June 16. The campaign follows Robina Group releasing a 6763sq m site at 299 Scottsdale Drive, which was used as a nursery for landscaping its surrounding residential communities for the past 20 years.
Mr Witheriff said the latest site was ideally located for a development to take advantage of Robina’s established infrastructure network.
“This is one of the most well-connected sites in Gold Coast City. It is on the doorstep of the train and bus interchange, it neighbours the $160m Cbus Stadium and Bond University Institute of Health and Sport and is within 100 metres of the new Robina TAFE campus, due to open early next year,” he said. “It’s also within easy walking distance of two schools, Robina Health Precinct anchored by
Robina Hospital, Robina Private Hospital, Queensland Health and Primary Medical Centre, and is just a short walk or drive to Robina Town Centre.
“With the recent completion of Robina Group’s $170m Vue Terrace Homes community in Stadium Village, now is the right time for an astute developer to step in and fill the gap in the market for a new residential, mixed-use or retirement project.”
Colliers International director of development sites Brendan Hogan said the Laver Drive site was ripe for commercial or mixed-use development.
“The site has three street frontages, and its location and easy access to the M1 Motorway lends itself to many development opportunities,” he said.
Robina Group development manager Darrell Irwin said the site was the largest and one of the few land parcels remaining for sale within Robina.
“The site is surrounded by established residential communities, however the need for further residential development in this pocket is underpinned by current unmet demand from owner occupiers and renters looking for quality product.”
