New Apartments Rise Above Robina Lakeside Setting

Living and working in an expanding area like Robina, you get used to seeing changes and progress around you on a regular basis.  As part of a team of people delivering brand new homes to meet the exponential demand, there is nothing more exciting than seeing a project close to your heart take shape.

The Robina Group sales team has been proudly watching on as Bohème Apartments rise up out of the ground in their lakeside setting.  The driving force behind achieving an incredible 95% sell out off the plan, Tom, Sharon, Azura and Kim (l to r pictured above) look forward to welcoming residents to the boutique apartments later this year.

The impressive towers are now clearly visible from Robina Parkway and Robina Town Centre Drive.

Tower 1 of has now reached its highest level, rising 7 stories above the central CityVillage lake. The first residents will be moving into their brand new apartments before Christmas this year.  Builder, Cullen Group is busily completing the interior detail and we will soon start to see the scaffold come down level by level to reveal the tower’s exterior facade.

The nine-level Tower 2 will be completed mid 2017 and will include a cafe for all surrounding residents to enjoy.  A landscaped lakeside pathway wraps around the front of Bohème Apartments and through CityVillage connects directly to Robina Town Centre.  The pleasant waterside walkway allows you to stroll straight to the shops, restaurants and cinemas, and with only one road to cross, you can take it at your own pace.

Location | Amenity | Infrastructure

The popularity of Bohème Apartments has been attributed to its strategic location close to infrastructure which is attractive to investors and the amenity-rich lifestyle on offer for resident owners.

Urbis Senior Consultant Lynda Campbell said buyers from Sydney and Melbourne have been putting their money in Gold Coast precincts with strong economic indicators including population, infrastructure and employment.

“Connectivity, walkability and infrastructure are key factors,” she said.

“Many investors have been priced out of the market in Sydney, Melbourne and increasingly Brisbane, so are looking to put their money into quality properties on the Gold Coast.

“Traditionally, Gold Coast investment has been weighted towards apartments near the beach that can be holiday let, but we are seeing a shift as buyers turn to the stability of long-term tenants in areas with growth potential.

“They want the same fundamentals that underpin apartment growth in their home cities, so are looking to central areas near employment nodes, with lifestyle amenities in easy walking distance.”

Sydney investor Jane Evans purchased an apartment in Tower 1 off-the-plan earlier this year.

Originally from Perth, Jane said with southern property prices climbing, she decided to rent in Sydney and invest on the Gold Coast.

“The fact is the Gold Coast is always going to be an area people enjoy and it is a growing area in Queensland,” she said.

“With the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games coming up and a lot of industries shifting to Queensland, it’s an excellent place to put your money.

“Bohème Apartments at Robina appealed because of its position close to amenities, like the shopping centre, train stations and public transport, which are all big pluses for me.  A person without a car could easily live there.

“The lifestyle it offers is another factor. I like the fact it has a pool, is near a lake and is only 10 to 15 minutes to the beach – that is what you want.

“The market has become very hot in Sydney, so you need to have enough cash to be able to get into it without mortgaging yourself up to your eyeballs, so for now I’m happy to be renting and investing elsewhere.”

There are now only 5 apartments left in Bohème Apartments and we can’t wait to get inside and see the view from the top.
