Construction of the next stage of the $1.5bn SkyRidge estate will ramp up as the first stage opens to the public.

The Worongary estate has been under construction for four years, with developer Perron Group saying it has already sold $172m worth of homes, with just eight lots left in its first stage yet to be sold.

A further 2000 will be released to the market over the next decade.

On Friday it will unveil HomeShow, its new display village which will “ultimately showcase 17 prominent builders and the most up-to-date house trends and designs across a total of 37 brand new homes”.

Perron general manager for land development Lyle Kenny said Gold Coasters would finally get a picture of how the giant suburb will look once completed.

“This is an exciting stage in the evolution of SkyRidge as we will start to see the styles of homes that will be built in this unique estate. The display village has been carefully created to set a high standard to achieve the right mix of home styles and sizes to maintain the integrity of the development as a quality community with attractive streetscapes and neighbourhoods.

“Once complete SkyRidge will have to up to 3500 dwellings, so it’s important we keep our final ambitions in mind, and the companies chosen to build here all share the same vision as we do.”

SkyRidge director Chris Alston said more features would continue to open the rest of the year.

“SkyRidge will retain a 26.6-hectare green spine conservation corridor through the central core of the development on a waterway with mature trees providing a standout natural feature,” he said.

“This will be complimented by several open spaces including the soon to be opened Gumnut Park with a focus on multiple exercise and fitness nodes, and a children’s play area with custom designed play equipment.

“We’ll also be opening the two-hectare Lorikeet Park later in 2024 featuring themed play areas and equipment suitable to a broad cross section of children’s ages, a huge 500-person amphitheatre, 180-step stair climb, picnic and barbecue areas, and a fully fenced off-leash dog park ensuring SkyRidge provides a strong focus on community and personal wellbeing.”
