St Kitts receives major HIA Sunshine Coast Award

The RGD Property Group’s reputation for quality and innovation took another major step forward after the St Kitts apartments on Kawana Island collected the HIA Sunshine Coast Apartment Project of the Year on Saturday night.

RGD director Tony Long said the St Kitts award was the third HIA award his company had won in two years on Kawana Island after successfully winning awards for the Leeward Apartments as well as the Montego’s on the Bay dining precinct.

The 86 three bedroom St Kitts apartments overlook Double Bay’s white sandy beaches, parklands, playgrounds and the multi-award winning Montego’s on the Bay dining precinct is within easy walking distance.

Mr Long said the HIA awards were a validation of RGD’s vision to create an Island destination where people can live, work, socialize and play in an outstanding waterfront environment.

“We’ve come up against some terrific competition at the awards this year, there are many exciting developments on the Sunshine Coast and we are really pleased to receive this recognition from our industry peers,” he said.

Mr Long said one of the major challenges at St Kitts was the decision to introduce premium priced apartments away from the traditional tourist holiday markets of Mooloolaba, Caloundra and Noosa.

“Before now, Kawana Island was a precinct dominated by residential detached dwellings, there was very few large medium density projects within a predominantly low density residential communities on the Sunshine Coast,” he said.

Mr Long said he thought there were several reasons why St Kitts won on Saturday night.

“The combination of size, luxury fittings and fixtures, uninterrupted water views and a private marina berth for penthouse purchasers is an offer which is not just unique to the Sunshine Coast as buyers would be hard pressed to find something similar anywhere in South East Queensland.

“There are few other opportunities to live on an Island on the Sunshine Coast. It’s an exclusive lifestyle on offer and one which should see positive capital gains because of its access to water and its central location in the heart of the Sunshine Coast,” he said.
