Crafting the future of Gold Coast living
The team behind a new Gold Coast icon
Published May 25, 2022
On the banks of the Nerang River, not far south of the centre of Surfers Paradise, a new apartment tower is set to transform the skyline. Rivea, at 2932 Gold Coast Highway, will bring 108 units, across 28 above-ground levels, to a 1,102 square metre lot that sits at a unique vantage point offering views of the ocean and hinterland, just minutes’ walk from the beach. Bringing a new level of quality to buildings in the area, it unites the visions of a rising big-city developer and a skilled design team with extensive local experience to give a glimpse of the Gold Coast’s future.
A developer that puts customers first
The developer, Auriton, is based in Melbourne and Sydney and has five offices in major cities in China. With more than ten projects in Melbourne and two in Sydney under its belt, Rivea is its first major project in the Gold Coast.
Auriton is committed to putting customers first as it creates buildings that improve the quality of life for residents. In doing so, the team is guided by a philosophy of harmonious, natural, and comfortable living—and by a commitment to high quality that exceeds what people expect of its buildings and its service to buyers.
This latest project, which combines an outstanding location and a design sophistication that sets it above its neighbours, is sure to prove enticing to investors. The same qualities will also interest people looking to upgrade their lifestyle—be they locals in the market for a home of greater distinction or those from other Australian cities drawn to the undeniable attractions of the Gold Coast.
Designed for outdoor living
In crafting Rivea, Auriton partnered with Rothelowman, an award-winning design company with offices in four of Australia’s major east-coast cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. With a portfolio spanning architecture and interior and urban design, its team of more than 180 designers and professionals have extensive experience in creating buildings that exploit the advantages of great locations.
According to Rothelowman principal Jeff Brown, the firm’s work in Brisbane, a bit more than an hour north of the Gold Coast, has seen the team embrace Queensland’s warmer climate to deliver apartment designs that include more outdoor space than is common in other Australian cities, and a greater connection to the exterior.
At Rivea, this sensibility translates into a design that makes maximum use of the riverside location overlooking both water and hinterland, within walking distance of nearby beaches. An infinity pool area at ground level with views directly onto the Nerang River exemplifies the relaxed outdoor lifestyle that residents can expect to enjoy.
