Chevron Island, Gold Coast

Brisbane based developer Ention Properties is set to embark on a New York-inspired apartment project in a leafy precinct at Chevron Island linked to the Home of the Arts cultural precinct.

The company unveiled plans for a luxury boutique apartment collection inspired by New York’s famous Flatiron building and other New York-style architecture, set to transform a lush corner parcel at the junction of Aruma and Anembo Street. The project, to be called Greenwich, is the subject of a modified DA which has been lodged with the council that the developer says will be targeted at owner occupiers who want to become a part of the inner Gold Coast enclave.

The three-bedroom range will be accompanied by a collection of two-bedroom units and a single exclusive four-bedroom unit. Ention Founding Director’s, Trent Thoroughgood & Dion Smith, said that Greenwich would open the doors to luxury for a diversity of buyers, from the downsizer all the way through to the first home buyer.

“We wanted to ensure that Greenwich surpassed the quality of its market counterparts to produce a collection of waterside residences rich in exceptionally high-level finishes, accessible to a broader range of buyers than one would expect for such a luxurious product,” said Mr Thoroughgood.

The project, designed by Ferro Chow Architects, has been reduced in size from 48 to 46 apartments but increased in height to 15 levels in a bid to amplify space and light, and is compliant with the town plan for the area. Mr Thoroughgood said Greenwich would inject the island with a New York ambience emanating from design features reflective of the city’s distinctive architecture and art scene, while replicating a Central Park lushness from its vantage point over the Korman Family Park.

The 30 Anembo Street site sits at the gateway between Chevron Island’s boutique village and Surfers Paradise’ thriving entertainment precinct, providing a unique entry point to several of the coasts most desirable lifestyle precincts. The distinctive arched floor to ceiling windows will unlock uninterrupted park views to the south, exceptional 270 degree views over the glittering Nerang river to the south, west and north, and hinterland views to the west.

Atop the tower will sit a tranquil yoga lawn and luxurious rooftop pool offering breathtaking views over the city skyline and winding riverway. Its proximity to natural features and public spaces opens up abundant opportunities to call attention to its spectacular surrounding views encircled by the Nerang River.
