Midrise Full-Floor Apartment Plans Revealed for Mooloolaba

Plans for a midrise residential development with luxury full-floor apartments from top to bottom have been filed for a dress circle site at Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast.

The eight-storey proposal dubbed Prosperity is targeting prevailing strong market demand for upscale coastal living.

Earmarked for a 587sq m site at 11 Muraban Street—about 200m back from the Mooloolaba Esplanade—it has been lodged by a Sunshine Coast-based entity led by Michael Turner.

Designed by Sprout Architects, the scheme comprises seven full-floor, three-bedroom units above a ground-floor amenity level with communal open space including a pool, recreation lounge, gym, sauna and steam room.

Carparking spaces would be provided for 18 vehicles, most of them in private garages within a single-level basement.

Close to foreshore parkland and the beach, the proposed development on the corner of Muraban Street and Naroo Court is designed to maximize views of the ocean, river, and surrounding landscape.

If approved, it would replace a single residence.

“The locality is considered prime for redevelopment,” a planning report said.

“Subsequently, the high-quality design will set a new high standard for building patterns and landscaping elements for the neighbourhood.”

Its contemporary design features include large balconies, screening and shading devices, landscaped climbers and raised planters. Integrated landscaping softens the built form and celebrates the natural environment that thrives in the Sunshine Coast’s sub-tropical climate.

“The proposed development exhibits exemplar architectural built form and landscape design that emphasises the Sunshine Coast’s casual outdoor lifestyle,” the documents said.

According to the code-assessable application, the single unit floor plates of the scheme enable and enhance “the Sunshine Coast vernacular design with ultimate passive cross ventilation and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces”.
