Multiplex completes The Beach Apartments at Broadbeach
24 November 2017
Multiplex: Leading global contractor
Multiplex has today completed the $70 million construction of
The Beach
Apartments on the
Gold Coast. Just four
apartments remain for sale
within the distinctive beachside
tower, with those apartments expected
to be sold before the end of the year.
Multiplex’s regional managing director for
Queensland Graham Cottam said
the Gold Coast project was completed on schedule, and has provided a
timely injection to the local economy leading into next year’s
Commonwealth Games.
“Construction of The Beach Apartments has delivered a major boost to the
Gold Coast economy, with local residents and businesses the biggest
winners,” Mr Cottam said.
“The project, which took almost two years to complete from start of
demolition and excavation to completion, created more than 1,400 local
jobs onsite during construction,” he said.
“We are always proud of our achievement to bring a project such as this
to a timely completion that meets its budget,” he said.
“The project supported the local community by choosing local workers
first, and supporting local suppliers wherever possible,” Mr Cottam
said.
“The 15,510 cubic metres of
concrete was sourced from local supplier
Hymix, with another local business
Neumann Steel supplying the 2,200
tonnes of
steel used for the project.
“The 3,102 glazing panels and 1,089 Balustrade panels used to construct
the
facade of building were fabricated by local supplier
Queensland
Façade Systems and
Feenix Balustrades.
“The Beach Apartments was one of the first major projects to start
construction in what we see as a new cycle for the Gold Coast, which we
believe will extend beyond the Commonwealth Games,” Mr Cottam said.
The site’s 3,000 square metre footprint comprises a tower floor plate of
620 square metres and
a gross building area of 30,757 square metres. During construction more
than 1,400 people worked on-site.
Multiplex’s commitment to using innovative construction techniques saw
all the tower structure verticals constructed within a self-climbing
jump form system that covered the full floor foot-print of the building.
The jump form system was specially designed and purchased for The Beach
construction, and fabricated locally by formwork subcontractor,
Infinity
Constructions.
Standing 108 metres high and located in the heart of Broadbeach, the
35-level structure is within walking distance of the beach, Kurrawa Surf
Club, Jupiters Hotel and Casino, Pacific Fair, the new light rail and
the popular dining precinct.
Multiplex has completed 90 projects in Queensland over the past 27 years
in the residential, tourism, commercial, health and infrastructure
sectors. It has operated on the Gold Coast for more than 25 years and is
the only Tier 1 contractor with a local office.
The Beach Apartments is one of six projects that Multiplex has underway
in Queensland, and one of two projects the company is working on in
Broadbeach – with The Jewel still under construction and expected to be
completed in mid-2019. It is Multiplex’s second Gold Coast project since
the Hilton Surfers Paradise was completed in 2011.
A joint venture project between
Anthony Moreton Group and
Pryde Group,
The Beach Apartments comprises 219, one and two bedroom apartments, that
were priced from $330,000 for one-bedroom and $550,000 for two-bedroom.
Only four apartments remain for sale.
Designed by internationally acclaimed
DBI Design, it has impressive
communal facilities including outdoor pool and barbecue area, Zen
garden, residents’ lounge and gymnasium.
