FAMILY PAYS $5M FOR BURLEIGH ‘WEEKENDER’
A LEISURELY stroll along Burleigh Heads has set a Gold Coast family back $5.02 million with a luxury penthouse purchase.
David Calvisi, of Synergy Property Partners, said the penthouse at North Residences wasn’t on the market but interest during its construction caused the developer to reconsider.
“Along the way we had quite a lot of interested partiesapproach us,” Mr Calvisi said.
“People were walking along Burleigh, seeing the building and calling our architects and even the town planner.”
The family which bought the 472sq m penthouse owns a riverfront house on the Gold Coast and plans to use the Burleigh penthouse at weekends.
“When the kids finish school they plan to sell the house on the river and move into the penthouse,” Mr Calvisi said. “They’re basically future downsizers.”
The two-level apartment has a big list of luxury features including a rooftop entertaining terrace with a glass-edged pool, wine cellar and cold room.
North Residences, at 296 The Esplanade, includes seven beachfront apartments in a residential-only building.
Mr Calvisi said the design and high-end finishes were comparable to boutique apartment towers in Melbourne or Sydney.
Architects Bureau Proberts worked the structure of each apartment to occupy an entire floor.
The other six apartments sold for between $2.9 million and $5 million.
Synergy Property Partners is also building Pacific Palm Beach, with all 15 apartments already sold.
