More than 75 per cent of units in a $200 million Gold Coast building have been sold, providing residents flexible apartment living right next to SeaWorld and the Nerang River.
Maris, an apartment complex in Southport by MRCB International, is selling 192 one and two-bedroom apartments: with the option to combine the two unit types for a three-bedroom amalgamated offering.
Maris, a 20-storey development in Southport by MRCB, has seen more than 75 per cent of its 192 units sold.
With the majority of the development sold before launch, MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan said the project had seen some of the strongest sales results of any new development across the Gold Coast.
“Urbis confirmed Maris was the largest contributor to new apartment sales across the Gold Coast during the March 2025 quarter, accounting for 80 of the 209 sales recorded citywide,” he said.
“Officially launching the project is a significant milestone for us. It’s the culmination of years of planning and local engagement, and we’re proud to be bringing a project of this quality to market at a time when well- located housing is in high demand.”
The $200m development has unit prices ranging from $1.06m to $2.95m: with one and two-bedroom options available, along with an amalgamated three-bedroom residence.
The development, sitting a short distance from SeaWorld, saw most of its sales before the project even launched to market, and is now on track for a 2028 completion.
Prices range from $1.06m for a one-bedroom home in the 20-storey complex, up to $2.95m for an amalgamated three-bedroom unit.
Designed by Plus Architecture, the new building will sit at 20 Queen St: the site of Southport’s former Sundale Motel.
The motel on the 1,743 sqm land was a well-known staple of the area throughout the 70s and 80s, before eventually being turned into a development site.
A shared resident lounge, podium level pool, rooftop terrace, gym and sauna will all be available for the building’s owner occupiers upon its completion.
The building sits on 1,743 sqm of land, originally belonging to a well-known local motel from the 1970s.
Mr Krishnan confirmed 100 per cent of the development’s purchases to date have been local Australian residents.
“We are extremely humbled with the enormous interest and results of this project,” he said. “For MRCB International, it reinforces our commitment to the Gold Coast and our belief in the region’s future as one of Australia’s most liveable urban centres.”
With demolition complete on the site, construction is expected to begin in the first half of 2026, on track for a 2028 completion.
The project will see one final release later this year for Maris’ upper-level apartments, featuring high-level views over Broadwater and the surrounding Gold Coast.
