Luxury living with marina berth

ADVERTORIAL

Queensland leads Australia when it comes to boat ownership but there’s a serious shortage of places to park them – unless you make the savvy decision to acquire a berth along with a luxury apartment.

The second release of apartments at Lighthouse on the Newport waterfront, fast-tracked after strong sales of the first release, includes the option to purchase one of 22 marina berths.

Located on Lighthouse Esp, alongside Lakeview Park, Lighthouse consists of two buildings connected by a subtropical porte cochere entry.

The first building, Palm, was released earlier this year and with more than 70 per cent sold, construction has been brought forward by six months along with the early release of the second building, Dune.

With close to one million licensed boaties, 277,000 registered boats, and fewer than 11,000 wet berths, there’s a supply-demand gap that Lighthouse fills, making it ideal for those whose preferred form of leisure is out on the water.

For those content to simply gaze out upon Moreton Bay, Lighthouse has many other enticements, including two swimming pools, al fresco entertaining areas, gardens and a shared residents’ lounge.

Lighthouse is the second Newport offering from luxury waterfront specialists, Traders In Purple, whose earlier Lasail project was a hit among local downsizers seeking a luxury lifestyle on the water.

With a mix of over-sized two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, three-bedroom garden villas and three-bedroom townhomes, Lighthouse has something to offer a diverse range of buyers.

Traders In Purple CEO Brett Robinson says the overwhelming buyer response to Lighthouse shows a high level of trust in the national property group’s track record of excellence in design and construction quality.

“After 20 years developing on the Peninsula, we are seeing increasing numbers of repeat customers, people who know and love the homes and communities we create,” he says.

“Robust sales have allowed us to make an early start on construction and we can continue to maintain our track record of 100 per cent completions.”

While the relaxed Newport lifestyle is an obvious drawcard, it’s the design and resort-style resident amenity of Lighthouse that is proving especially compelling for buyers.

Designed by leading architectural studio Rothelowman, Lighthouse strikes the right note, with an elegant simplicity that fits well with a sophisticated relaxed lifestyle.

“The design model we have adopted at Lighthouse caters to many different types of buyers. What all the different dwelling types have in common is expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces, beautiful finishes and attractive views,” Mr Robinson says.

“Single storey garden villas, with private courtyards to the front and back, have been especially popular with those who are thinking in the long-term and want to avoid stairs.

“Apartments on all six levels have fantastic views whether it’s out over Moreton Bay or over to the Glasshouse Mountains. Along the Newport Lake frontage, the marina adds a touch of glamour.”

The Lighthouse sales office is at 21 Lighthouse Esp, Newport.
