Gold Coast development: New mansion planned for Hedges Ave in Mermaid Beach

A new mansion is set to be built on one of the Gold Coast’s most exclusive stretches of road. Plans reveal the house will have a priceless view and some incredible features.

ONE of the last remaining suburban houses on Millionaire’s Row will be demolished to make way for a three-storey mansion with a priceless view.

Orbit Homes is planning the new ‘asymmetric’ four-bedroom building, earmarked for a site on the corner of Hedges Ave and Alfred Street.

Plans submitted to the Gold Coast City Council reveal the house would be created on an angle, with the master bedroom on its second level looking out over the ocean through the gap at the end of Alfred St.

The bedroom level will have its own balcony, along with another, larger “entertainment” balcony on its first level

The house is described as having a “bespoke” architectural design which “is both sympathetic and complementary to the ‘varied character” of Hedges Ave.

The house will have views of the ocean.

Area councillor Paul Taylor welcomed the project, which would fall within the area’s nine metre height limit.

“This is the sort of development we want to see on Hedges Ave and on the Gold Coast,” he said.

“It is great to see such architecture coming in and making the place look really attractive.

“Hedges Ave continues to be a hive of activity.

The development will go before the council’s planning committee later this year.
