Morris adds two-tower proposal to Broadbeach projects

- ANDREW POTTS

A DEVELOPER has lodged its sixth tower developmen­t in three months – all in the one suburb.

Morris Property Group has applied to the Gold Coast City Council to build a two-tower project in Broadbeach, where it already has several proposed developmen­ts either built or under constructi­on.

The latest unnamed project will feature two towers of 40 and 27 storeys on a 3035sq m site that fronts

Britannia and Australia avenues. Group founder Barry Morris said the towers would have 348 new units and help take pressure off the city’s squeezed property market.

“Our target market is owner-occupiers, upgraders, downsizers and investors,” he said.

“Not everyone has $3m to spend and we want to ensure we always provide affordable homes for all to enjoy.

“The sites (amalgamate­d for the towers) had a major appeal for being in one of Broadbeach’s best areas and future occupiers will enjoy the peaceful surroundin­gs while remaining close to some of the best amenities in Broadbeach and the Gold Coast.”

The sites were amalgamate­d by GV Property Group in 2021.

Morris Property Group is already building the Sandbar tower in Burleigh and the Mermaid Plaza shopping centre on the Gold Coast Highway and has been refocusing on Broadbeach.

The company last year spent more than $30m on property across the city.

Among the projects recently submitted to the council are:

● A 20-storey tower on Chelsea Ave that will have 18 single-floor units.

● A 20-level tower on the Gold Coast Highway next to the Lifeline building and neighbouri­ng the company’s existing Synergy and Qube high-rises. It will have 48 units.

● A nine-storey tower, known as Malo, for a 607sqm site on Jubilee Ave between Qube and Synergy.

● A 25-storey tower on the Gold Coast Highway at Burleigh Heads.
