Sunshine Coast Property Developments
Property Developers Strike Friendly Deal for Shared
The RGD Property Group and Stockland, the developers of Kawana
Island have formed a partnership to open a joint sales and information
centre at the award-winning Kawana Island.
Located on the waterfront at Double Bay next door to Montego’s
restaurant, the new sales centre is expected to generate over
$120 million of land, villa and waterfront apartment sales on
Kawana Island over the next four to five years.
Stockland Regional Manager – Sunshine Coast, Mr Mark Hunter
described the joint sales office as an exciting phase in the
marketing of Kawana Island, heralding an innovative concept
for anybody interested in prestige Kawana Island real estate.
“Stockland was pleased to sign the agreement to share
a Kawana Island sales office because rather than compete with
the RGD Property Group it allows us to cooperate in promoting
a truly wonderful lifestyle on the Island,” Mr Hunter said.
“We have both developed outstanding communities on Kawana
Island that complement one another, and the joint sales office
will help us demonstrate to buyers the wonderful variety of
lifestyle options that are available throughout the Island.”
RGD Director Tony Long said the new joint sales office was
the first time the Sunshine Coast had seen two developers come
together to sell their respective products under the one roof.
“We forecast continued strong sales on the Island, which
reflects the confidence both RGD and Stockland have in selling
out the remainder of Kawana Island.
“There is nothing quite like Kawana Island anywhere else
on the Sunshine Coast. What other residential development is
so centrally located and yet boasts its own myriad of walkways,
parks, playgrounds, BBQ areas, a chic waterfront restaurant
and gourmet deli as well as three beaches?” he said.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to have all of
the Island’s sales traffic come into the one office so
they can inspect all of the choices on offer. Buyers can then
choose from either waterfront or dry blocks of land, the new
Island Point Villas for over-50’s luxury villa living as
well as the remainder of the St Kitts apartments, the new Terraces
on Grand and the recently launched Island Quays apartments,”
he said.
Mr Long said both developers were buoyed by recent comments
from national property experts Rod Cornish, Bernard Salt and
Michael Matusik on the future demand for real estate on the
Sunshine Coast.
“Michael Matusik recently said he expected interest rates
to remain stable during 2006, consumer confidence was improving
and there were also not enough new homes being built in South
East Queensland.
“Over the next 20 years around one million people will
call South East Queensland home so this augurs well for developments
like Kawana Island which are well located to employment, entertainment,
medical, school and sporting precincts,” he said.
