Project Details
Grocon has now delivered this $550 million mixed-use master planned development at Parklands on the Gold Coast, featuring more than 1,252 dwellings with a mix of apartments and townhouses, a retail precinct and green landscaped spaces structured around a central public plaza, the Village Heart.

LatStudios' strategy for the entire site is inspired by the regional landscape's evolution since Mount Warning erupted 23 million years ago. It is a celebration of the local environment incorporating new lakes, water features and waterways set up for both passive recreation and larger community events.

The Parklands master plan includes seven hectares of public open space, 1.3 hectares of new streetscapes and 4 hectares of private residential gardens, all designed by LatStudios from the outset in collaboration with project urban designers Archipelago, architects AAA (ARM, Arkhefield and Archipelago), WSUD specialists DesignFlow and the broader Grocon team.
