The fast-growing Gold Coast hot spot of Burleigh Heads may soon welcome two 23-storey towers and its first five-star hotel after developer Nielson Properties lodged a development application last week.
Nielson Properties has teamed up with Chris Vitale of Brisbane’s Pointcorp group to develop the $350 million project, which comprises a 132-key luxury hotel and 92 residential apartments.
Managing director of Nielson Properties, Ross Nielson, told The Urban Developer that it made sense for the two to collaborate.
“Otherwise there would have been four or five separate towers not really related to each other, while our [scheme] has a fully-integrated ground plane which leads to much better community and design outcomes.”

The 4,039sq m site, amalgamated by Nielson Properties and Chris Vitale, boasts 80 metres of beach frontage.
