I first met the new managers of Bohème Apartments the day we took a photo of them for our local newspaper.
When the photographer arrived, it was to their surprise that he was a family friend. Our talented photographer Thor Englestad has worked with our creative team for years and captures all our Robina product and lifestyle images in deserving glory. So here I was … watching, as the shoot turned into an unexpected family reunion.
A new apartment: your new home
This is an apt and perfect introduction to the warm and inviting feel which will be evoked by Boheme Apartments on completion. A home, and place for family and friends. Created by developer, Robina Group to continue their tradition of delivering dreams through built form.
The fuzziness of an impromptu catchup aside, the fact is that more than 85 per cent of the 129 apartments at Bohème are already sold. The lifestyle focussed development has drawn both owner occupiers and investors wanting to capitalise on Robina’s continued growth and unparalleled offering of convenience, amenity and services.
Many Bohème buyers are citing the secure building and onsite management an important attribute of the project and acquiring quality managers is a crucial milestone.
Introducing your onsite managers
Belinda and Stephen Pickwell, along with their son Christopher, have secured the management rights to the $65 million dual tower.
Christoper will live onsite at the sought-after lakeside address, opposite Robina Town Centre at the geographic heart of Gold Coast City.
The Pickwell family has been managing apartments in Gold Coast City for more than 16 years. They have specialised in Robina property since 2006, managing high profile buildings including St Kilda on Riverwalk, Madison on Riverwalk, 50 Riverwalk, Sidewalk on Scottsdale and Promenade Point. Their ongoing support of Robina is an endorsement of the sustained growth and future values in the area.
Mrs Pickwell said the opportunity to establish their business at a brand new building in Robina, which continues to thrive as one of Gold Coast City’s most popular suburbs, was immensely appealing.
“We like being involved with the very best new buildings and having dealt with developer Robina Group for a long time, we know they always produce high quality projects in sought-after areas,” she said.
“Robina has a rental vacancy rate of under one per cent, so it is an extremely undersupplied market, meaning there is pent-up demand for properties to rent.
“Bohème looks absolutely stunning and its location on the waterfront in close proximity to Robina Town Centre makes it stand out in particular.”
Mrs Pickwell said the opportunity to be involved in another Robina Group project was one the family couldn’t pass up.
“Our son, Christopher, is now 32 and has grown up in the business, gaining his full real estate license at the age of 18,” she said.
“We are a family business and all three of us will be working together to ensure we take care of Bohème Apartments as we would want our own property cared for.”
The Robina Group sales manager Azura Griffen said having onsite managers with such extensive experience in Robina would benefit residents and owners.
“With Christopher living at Bohème and the family on call 24-seven, the quality servicing of Boheme and its residents is assured,” she said.
“They have an impressive track-record of maintaining the buildings they manage, putting a quality tenant mix in place and being available to assist with everything from property inspections to lost keys and the supervision of tradesmen.
“Being residents themselves, they will also have their finger on the pulse of what is happening at Bohème around the clock to make it a place people are proud to call home.”
Bohème is the centrepiece of Robina Group’s award-winning $250 million CityVillage. It is situated close to Robina train station and transport hub, Robina Hospital, Robina Medical Precinct, Bond University, Somerset College, CBUS Super stadium, a reknowned super-regional shopping centre, entertainment hub and the city’s most sought-after business precinct.
The first seven-level tower is due for completion late this year, and construction recently commenced on the nine-level second tower, which is due to settle in mid 2017.
Two bedroom apartments start from $459,000. A full scale, furnished display apartment at The Crestway, Robina, is open by appointment. To inspect the display, or to request a detailed information pack including prices and plans contact Azura on 0488 980 181 or visit cityvillage.com.au.
