Queensland leads Australia when it comes to boat ownership but there’s a shortage of places to park them – unless people make the savvy decision to acquire a berth along with their luxury apartment.
The second release of apartments at Lighthouse on the Newport waterfront, fast-tracked after strong sales of the first release, includes the option to purchase one of 22 marina berths, a tantalising prospect when the ocean views pose a constant temptation to set out on the water and head for Moreton Bay.
With close to one million licensed boaters, 277,000 registered boats, and fewer than 11,000 wet berths, Lighthouse is a prayer answered for those whose preferred form of leisure is out on the waterways.
For those content to gaze out on Moreton Bay, Lighthouse has many other enticements for residents, including two swimming pools, outdoor entertaining areas, gardens and a residents’ lounge.
Lighthouse is the second Newport offering from Traders in Purple.
Lighthouse is the second Newport offering from luxury waterfront specialists, Traders In Purple, whose earlier Lasail project was a resounding hit among local downsizers seeking a luxury lifestyle on the water.
Located on Lighthouse Esplanade alongside Lakeview Park, Lighthouse consists of two buildings connected by a subtropical porte cochere entry.
Palm was released earlier this year and with more than 65 per cent sold, construction has been brought forward by six months along with the early release of the second building, Dune. Lighthouse has two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, three-bedroom garden villas and three-bedroom townhomes from $910,000.

While the relaxed Newport lifestyle is an obvious drawcard, it’s the design and resort-style resident amenity that is proving especially compelling for buyers.
Traders In Purple chief executive Brett Robinson said Lighthouse, designed by architectural studio Rothelowman, struck the right note, with an elegant simplicity that fitted well with a sophisticated relaxed lifestyle.
“Lighthouse is about enjoying a relaxed and comfortable life right on the water which is the Queensland ideal,” he said.
“For those accustomed to living in a freestanding house, the size and aspect of the apartments, townhomes and villas, and combination of garden and water views makes it an easy transition.
It features two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses with garden villas and townhomes also available.
“The design model we have adopted at Lighthouse caters to many different types of buyers. What all the different dwelling types have in common is expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces, beautiful finishes and attractive views.
“Single-storey garden villas, with private courtyards to the front and back, have been especially popular with those who are thinking in the long-term and want to avoid stairs.
“Apartments on all six levels have fantastic views whether it’s out over Moreton Bay or over to the Glass House Mountains. Along the Newport Lake frontage, the marina adds a touch of glamour.”

Mr Robinson said the scale of Lighthouse made it especially appealing to downsizers who were seeking low maintenance luxurious living but couldn’t see themselves in a high-rise tower.
“Lighthouse sits very politely in its location, surrounded by parks, the waterfront and suburban homes,” he said.
“From the street, the six-storey structure is screened by townhomes, garages, fencing and gardens so that it integrates naturally into the existing streetscape of Newport. We know from our many years of experience developing on the Moreton Bay peninsula that space matters.
“The two- and three-bedroom apartments are extremely spacious and many include a multipurpose room that can be used as a study or hobby space. Several of the larger apartments include a second living space – a place to cocoon or escape.”
