Morris Files Plans for Fifth Burleigh Heads Project

Queensland developer Morris Property Group has lodged plans for a 198-apartment tower at Burleigh Heads, its fifth project in the booming southern pocket of the Glitter Strip.

The 2024sq m site at 1873-1875 Gold Coast Highway was acquired in 2021 and is next door to Boardwalk Burleigh, another MPG project. 

It is an amalgamation of 16 two-bedroom apartments over two blocks, which will make way for a 25-storey apartment tower with coastal views.

The development comprises 14 three-bedroom apartments and 184 two-bedroom apartments with four basement levels of resident car parking and visitor parking at ground level. 

MPG director Barry Morris said the double-block site was close to Burleigh’s dining precinct and beaches. 

“We saw a great opportunity for this site as it’s ideally positioned to offer direct access to popular destinations including James Street and Goodwin Terrace,” Morris said.

“I’ve noticed in-market buyers are drawn to the relaxed lifestyle of Burleigh Heads while seeking high quality and functional apartments at an affordable price point.”

Canberra-based architects Guida Moseley and Brown designed the modulated apartment tower to “integrate with the surrounding area, and includes textured concrete, tinted glass and turquoise elements, capturing the coastal lifestyle”. 

▲ Morris Property Group has filed plans with the Gold Coast City Council for its fifth project in Burleigh Heads, at 1873-1875 Gold Coast Highway.

The development also includes 1275sq m of communal open space on level 2 with a main pool, wading pool, sun decks, indoor lounge, gymnasium and yoga lawn. 

MPG is continuing to pad out its pipeline of development on the Gold Coast. 

Sandbar, a 26-storey apartment tower in Burleigh Heads, is currently under construction while it has filed development applications for two projects in Broadbeach. 

Crest is a 37-storey, 157-apartment tower, while Malo is a nine-storey boutique apartment tower featuring 16 three-bedroom apartments.
