With 50% of residences sold within just two months of its launch, Marina Residences has captured the attention of discerning local and interstate buyers who have been waiting for a project of this calibre to emerge in Townsville.
Marina Residences will deliver 18 luxury residences, including 15 three-bedroom apartments and three premium sky homes, with prices starting from $2.7 million.
Positioned at the tip of Mariner’s Peninsula on The Strand, Marina Residences is the first luxury waterfront apartment development introduced to the Townsville market in nearly a decade.
“Marina Residences offers a rare and final opportunity to purchase a luxury waterfront property, in a market that has seen limited supply for so long,” said Glen Maidment, Managing Director of Maidment Group.
“The rapid pace of sales is a testament to the overwhelming demand and excitement surrounding this incredible project.”
A tribute to architectural excellence and refined living, Marina Residences is not just a place to live – it’s a bold statement of luxury and comfort.
Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Bureau Proberts and developed by Maidment Group, this iconic project blends modern elegance with a timeless appeal to create a luxury living experience that is yet to be seen in North Queensland.
Residents will enjoy an unrivalled lifestyle with access to resort-style amenities, including a gym, a private meeting room, a private dining room, and a rooftop pool and sundeck, offering uninterrupted views across the waterfront and east to Magnetic Island.
“Marina Residences is destined to become a landmark project that redefines luxury living in North Queensland,” said Mr Maidment.
“This project has been meticulously designed to provide residents with the ultimate lifestyle enriched with opulence, convenience, and sophistication.”
Strategically located in one of Townsville’s most sought-after precincts, Marina Residences offers residents easy access to local cafes and boutiques, all within a setting that celebrates North Queensland’s natural beauty.
Cementing its status among Australia’s most exceptional waterfront developments, Stage One of Marina Residences was recently awarded Boutique Project of the Year by the Urban Development Institute of Australia. Stage One comprises eight two-level waterfront homes which overlook the picturesque Breakwater Marina.
As construction on Stage Two progresses, Marina Residences is set to become the pinnacle of waterfront luxury in Townsville – offering an unparalleled blend of exclusivity, sophistication, and elegance.
