Pure Kirra

KIRRA will soon boast another skyscraper, as construction starts on the $40 million Pure Kirra residential apartments. Work on the 14-storey building on the corner of Haig Street and Musgrave Street is now well and truly underway.

The high-rise will feature 33 units of 131sqm, with two bedrooms and a study in each.

There will also be a retail floor on the bottom level, featuring restaurants, cafes and other traders. Construction will take approx. 1 year.

Glenzeil completed the $50 million Nirvana by the Sea skyscraper in 2009 and knew there would be some issues with water and sand at the site, but is confident development would go smoothly.

Developer, Michael Pikos said the southern Gold Coast was back on the map as a prime spot to live and was doing well economically. "I'm happy to see a job happening down the coast," he said. Mr Pikos said all apartments would have 180 degree views of both the beach and the hinterland and that sales were going well.

Aquinas College

Glenzeil has commenced works onsite at Aquinas College, Ashmore and is pleased to be involved in the redevelopment of the school as it expands for the future.

With the demolition complete, focus is now on delivering the new Covered Sports Facility which is an outdoor/indoor multipurpose building comprising of 2 x basketball courts, 2 x netball courts, and 4 x volleyball courts.

Whilst constructing the Covered Sports Facility works will then start on the new Hospitality Centre involving 3 new buildings, which will give the school a brand new commercial hospitality kitchen, home economics room, textiles room, and offices that will tie in with the existing school buildings by walkways.

Works are currently scheduled for completion mid December 2013.
