Rhythm Kirra Hill: Construction begins on Coolangatta apartment tower

Construction has begun on the southern Gold Coast’s nexttower as the wave of development sweeping the border suburbs continues.

The latest project to break ground is Immerse Projects’seven-storey Rhythm Kirra Hill which will rise next to the future route of thelight rail.

The 40-unit boutique project on Garrick St is the brainchildof Immerse boss John Kearney, who also heads its builder, Greyburn BuildingContractors.

Mr Kearney said the first residents would move in bylate-2024.

“I am pleased to announce that Rhythm Kirra Hill is well andtruly underway, and we look forward to seeing our vision come to life over thenext 18 months,” he said.

“Demand for premium beachside apartments on the southernGold Coast is higher than ever, so we are excited to be officially underconstruction with project certainty to bring this highly-desirable project tolife.”

The tower was given the green light in July 2022.

It will be built directly across the road from the suburb’spolice station and courthouse, both of which will be demolished to make way forthe light rail’s Stage 4 construction.

Its units, a mixture of one, two and three-bedrooms, sellfrom between $720,000 and $1.355m.

Coolangatta was last year dubbed the “sleeping giant” of theGold Coast property market, with more than $1bn worth of projects in thepipeline.

Big name developers, including Sahba Abedian andMelbourne-based rich lister Max Beck have projects waiting in the wings whileprolific Gold Coast builders Paul Gedoun and Spyre Group already have towerscoming online.
