Kurraba Residences by Thirdi Group
Thirdi Group is moving ahead on a $170-million apartment project at Kurraba Point—a tightly-held peninsula on Sydney harbour between Kirribilli Point and Cremorne Point.
The development, at 147-153 Kurraba Point Road, comprises 25 waterfront apartments over five-storeys.
Thirdi worked closely with 21 individual apartment owners to sell in-one-line with a delayed settlement—allowing the developer time to work with its consultants, the community and North Sydney council to create Kurraba Residences.
Thirdi Group managing director Luke Berry said for Kurraba Residences to meet the calibre of a Kurraba Point development, with apartments ranging from $2.5 to $50 million, it was vital that the right design partners were selected.
“We often say it’s the DNA of our consultants and project partners that dictate the ultimate success of our projects,” Berry said.
“When you consider Kurraba Residences consultants there is none better than Adam Haddow, of SJB Architects, who is a masterful at apartment design, especially capturing the outstanding views that the residents of Kurraba Point enjoy.
“Adam is also industry recognised for creating developments in a traditional brick facade that was a requirement for council so he was the perfect architectural partner for the project.”
Mathieson Architects, led by Philip Mathieson, designed the interiors which feature fluted marble detailing, dark stained American oak storage, carved marble basins, custom stone baths and lustrous bronze bathroom finishes.
Residents will also have access to a subterranean wine cellar room and lounge.
Thirdi submitted three separate development applications over a period of three years to ensure its vision aligned with the best outcome for the site.
“After we secured approval this presented us with one of the most exciting opportunities ever presented to our company to launch and sell a once-in-a-lifetime development on Sydney’s famous harbour,” Berry said.
“We built a temporary display suite within 24 hours, that was only insitu for seven days as by the end of the week we sold close to $120 million worth of apartments of the plan.
“It was an extraordinary experience and something that I don’t think will ever be replicated again.”
The development is now under construction and on track for completion early 2023.
Brisbane-based developer Forme is close to delivering its fifth luxury beachfront development on the Gold Coast.
Its latest coastal development, known as Luna, is being built halfway along the prestigious Goodwin Terrace—directly behind Burleigh Pavilion and alongside Burleigh Heads National Park.
The project, being built by McNab, comprises seven full-floor residences and a dual-storey penthouse with private rooftop pool terrace.
Shortly after release, the project’s apartments sold out for a combined $37 million with the building’s coveted penthouse picked up by a local Gold Coast couple ahead of its official launch.
The development sits alongside Forme’s recently completed Norfolk project, the first multi-storey residential development on Goodwin Terrace in three decades.
Forme managing director David Calvisi said the neighbouring site at 50 Goodwin Terrace presented Forme with the unique opportunity to deliver another high-end project while protecting its homeowners at Norfolk.
“Luna represents a new phase of beachfront perfection and is a stunning complement to Norfolk,” Calvisi said.
“We knew development of the fish house site was inevitable and—in a bid to respect the integrity of Norfolk, its purchasers and their views—knew it was paramount we take the opportunity to purchase the site as it presented.”
Calvisi enlisted Plus Architecture to design the project after tapping Koichi Takada for Norfolk.
Each apartment in Luna will feature premium appointments, 260sq m floor plans, and north facing coastal views through 14-metre floor-to-ceiling glass.
The project’s interiors have been designed by Mim Design and feature richly veined stone, European oak, curved glass, polished render, and brushed nickel.
Apartments all feature three ensuited bedrooms, study, dry bar, custom kitchen with butler’s pantry, and oceanfront balcony with an integrated barbecue kitchen.
Amenities include a pool, wet-edge sun lounge and state-of-the-art gymnasium.
