A PROMINENT Gold Coast developer has unveiled Main Beach’s biggest project since the early 1990s – giant luxury twin towers just off cafe and retail strip Tedder Avenue.
Drew Group’s Lagoon towers will be 23 and 31 storeys, adding 248 units in total.

But Drew Group boss Jonathan Drew said locals had nothing to fear, highlighting he was also a resident of the suburb.
“As a local, I feel an overwhelming responsibility to deliver an outstanding result for the Main
Beach community and the future residents of Lagoon and this concept will be the central
focus throughout the entirety of the project,” he said.

“Drew Group is very conscious of what is expected with regards to the city’s development
requirements and local resident expectations.
“With the amalgamation of (Cronin Avenue) lots, the proposed development occupies nearly 4000 sqm and will be the largest single site offered in Main Beach since the 90s.”

Lagoon will replace eight separate 1960s-era two-storey low-rise buildings on Cronin Ave’s northern side.
The 23-storey first tower will feature 123 units, nine sub-penthouses, three penthouses and two garden terraces.
The 31-storey second tower will have 111 apartments. Both will be connected by a podium and lagoon-style pool.

Mr Drew said the project’s apartments would be aimed at filling a gap in the Main Beach apartment market, “providing low body corporate fees without compromising on luxury finishes and size”.
It comes days after the Planning and Environment Court knocked back an appeal by Southport developer Brian Heran to build the controversial 20-storey Ovation tower on the corner of Woodroffe Ave and Main Beach Parade. It is one street away from Lagoon.
The Main Beach Association has consistently called for the council to slow the wave of development in the area, arguing infrastructure could not cope with the significant population increase.
