- PAULA SHEARER

TWO OF Malaysia’s largest developers have launched a $650 million masterplan­ned community on the northern Gold Coast.

Serenity Cove is being developed by SDSC, a joint-venture partnershi­p between Sime Darby and Brunsfield Internatio­nal Group.

SDSC, which has owned the site for eight years, has timed the launch of its flagship Australian project to meet rising demand for land on the Gold Coast. Serenity Cove, which is being marketed by Colliers Internatio­nal, will include luxury homes, apartments, a marine hub, shops and a dining precinct.

Colliers Internatio­nal national director of residentia­l project marketing, Tony Hymus, said Gold Coast land – “particular­ly waterfront lots of this calibre” – was in short supply.

“SDSC has timed the first release of land to coincide with a resurgence in the Gold Coast market, which has been exhibiting a strong and consistent performanc­e for some time,” Mr Hymus said.

“We’ve seen solid demand for land in the city’s northern corridor over the past couple of years, particular­ly in areas such as Coomera and Pimpama.

“However, there has been nothing like Serenity Cove come to the market in a very long time, es- POLICE are continuing to search for the owner of Olympic and Commonweal­th Games uniforms found in a stolen car on the Gold Coast last year.

About 50 Olympic-related clothing items and memorabili­a were found in the car at Merrimac last May.

The three Australian Olympic team issue luggage bags which housed the items did not belong to the owner of the car pecially in such a central location.

“Hope Island has finally come of age and the market is increasing­ly recognisin­g the amenity of the area, including extensive waterways, luxury resorts and championsh­ip golf courses.

“Proximity to Brisbane is also proving a bonus. We had one interstate buyer arrive at Brisbane Airport at 9.30am and was onsite at 10.15am.”

Mr Hymus said all Serenity Cove lots were complete and buyers would be able to start building immediatel­y.

The project will include 143 housing lots, 61 town homes and units.
