Midrise Project Breaks Ground as Sunshine Coast Ramps Up

Habitat Development Group has broken ground on a $243-million midrise mixed-use project at Maroochydore as activity in the region ramps up. The Millwell will comprise 205 apartments across two buildings rising up to nine storeys and will also accommodate ground-floor retail and a rooftop wellness centre. Its construction comes as the Brisbane-based builder-developer pushes forward with other projects in its pipeline, including the topping out of its 200-unit St Clair complex at Lake Kawana, Birtinya in a few weeks. The Millwell is the group’s third project in the precinct. It follows the completion of Market Lane Residences and The Corso Collection in the Maroochydore CBD on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The K Architecture-designed scheme will rise from a site at 2 Millwell Road East, opposite Sunshine Plaza shopping centre and fronting Cornmeal Creek. Habitat managing director Cleighton Clark said the broader Maroochydore CBD precinct and surrounds continued to grow rapidly as it began construction of “another landmark project in the area”. He said the development would engage up to 400 workers during its construction phase “injecting vital momentum into the local economy”. ▲ Rendering of The Millwell’s resort-style rooftop amenity and an aerial view of the Maroochydore site. More than 60 per cent of Stage 1 has already sold with unit prices ranging from $900,000 up to $3.6 million for penthouses. Overall, The Millwell will include a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments with resort-style amenities touted to include the Sunshine Coast’s first 25m rooftop infinity-edge pool. Completion is slated for mid-2027. Meanwhile, Melbourne-based developer Spectre Property is due to begin construction of its debut Queensland development, The Precinct, which is spruiked as the Sunshine Coast’s first multi-level strata industrial project. It is earmarked for a 3000sq m site along Hofmann Drive in the heart of Noosaville’s growing artisan and industrial community. ▲ Rendering of Spectre Property ’ s The Precinct industrial project due to begin construction at Noosaville. The $23-million development is designed with a mix of warehouse and office suites—including breakout spaces, full kitchen and end-of-trip amenities—targeting “business owners looking for more than just storage”. Spectre Property founder Jason Grasso said 70 per cent of The Precinct was already sold with ecommerce operators, coffee roasters, boutique services and a microbrewery among purchasers. “There’s been a real disconnect between the types of businesses operating in Noosa and the spaces available to them,” Grasso said. “From the beginning, this project was about creating a precinct that reflected the modern SME—flexible, premium and built to support both work and lifestyle.”
