Getaway turns into dream come true

SYDNEYSIDERS Paul and Jessica Hutchinson have been visiting the Gold Coast for years, but it was their last trip to the sunshine state that saw them secure their dream holiday home. The couple bought in Victoria & Albert Broadbeach, a new development offering a range of apartments.

What the couple thought was just going to be a usual getaway, turned out to be one for the history books, leaving with their ideal residence in an ideal location.

“We bought a Victoria Residence. It was perfect for what we thought to use it for, which was a place to stay when we visit the Gold Coast – a lifestyle investment if you will,” Mr Hutchinson said.

“All of the development’s promised amenities, as well as those found in and around the area of Broadbeach really sealed the deal for us.

“We thought if we planned to continue visiting this beautiful city as much as we do now, we might as well have a place to call home in our favourite part of it.”

The Hutchinsons have always loved Broadbeach and what it has to offer, but with their V & A purchase, they will get to enjoy it in the comfort of their own abode.

Comprised of two towers, V & A is being built at 20 Albert Ave with prices starting from $810,000.

Designed by DBI Architects, each residence includes large living spaces, inspired by the Gold Coast landscape.

“We have been visiting Broadbeach for a decade before this most recent adventure where we found V & A, and we just love it,” Mrs Hutchinson said.

“We’ve explored the Gold Coast extensively, but Broadbeach is for sure our favourite area with all the restaurants and its proximity to the beach.

“We are beyond excited to have bought an apartment in a place we hold so close to our hearts. It really is a dream come true.”

The pair heard about the development and made their best decision to date: stepping into the Colliers showroom.

“It was quite far along when we were introduced, it looked like demolition was about to start, so it was perfect timing” Mrs Hutchinson said.

“V & A is a beautifully designed, luxurious build, and we were lucky to get in when we did. I’m glad we took the leap and am looking forward to its completion.

“I never expected us to buy on this trip because we were only up there for a weekend, but that just shows the influence this development had on us.”

Colliers Gold Coast Residential Director David Higgins said the project had seen remarkable interest from interstate buyers, who have contributed to more than 60 per cent of sales so far.
