The up side to downsizing

When it comes to downsizing, some buyers never compromise, and that is the philosophy behind Masthead Ocean Club. With locals making up the biggest share of the Gold Coast’s downsizer market in recent years, the developers behind Masthead Ocean Club, a $250 million highend apartment tower at Main Beach, are planning to capture those looking for more than an idyllic location.

“Gold Coasters are definitely taking the lead when it comes to scaling back to focus on lifestyle,” said David Highland, CEO of Highland, the selling agent for Masthead Ocean Club.

“We’re increasingly seeing buyers selling up large family homes they have owned for years on the Gold Coast and looking to replace them with a large, luxury, lowmaintenance apartment that is much closer to lifestyle conveniences and amenities,” he said.

“Masthead Ocean Club is clearly a gamechanger when it comes to meeting the demands of these buyers.

“This is a premium development that offers all, if not more, of the amenities and facilities they have in their current home, far exceeding those in any other building ever built to date or planned on the Gold Coast.”

The 37-floor Masthead Ocean Club is set to be built at the northern end of Main

Beach Pde and will include 28 whole-floor apartments.

“Northern Main Beach, where Masthead is positioned, is a quiet enclave and perfect for downsizers who want access to everything but don’t want to be in the centre of the fast paced, hustle and bustle of Gold Coast living,” Mr Highland said.

With all this at their doorstep, Masthead Ocean Club leverages its location to offer a seven- star resort experience.

“Downsizers still want a pool, gym, wine storage and the views they currently have and don’t want to compromise on space,” he said. “Masthead has all of this.

“When they’re home, downsizers still like to entertain or accommodate family, so they require multiple living zones and multipurpose spaces which has all been thoughtfully introduced into every residence at Masthead.

“They may need a home office as they may still be involved in business.

“Masthead has a versatile multipurpose room perfect for a study, home office or additional living space.”

Masthead will also see the delivery of one of an elite in-house residents’ only club providing an ultra-luxe comprehensive amenities range, to be known as The Ocean Club.

Residents will have access to a wet edge pool, spa, steam room and sauna, state-ofthe-art gym, and yoga and pilates studios.
