First look exclusive: Gurner reveals $1.25 billion, four-tower Surfers Paradise apartment development La Pelago

The Melbourne-based developer Gurner, led by the high-profile developer Tim Gurner, has revealed its $1.25 billion plans for their Ferny Avenue, Surfers Paradise mega site.

The 11,000 plus sqm site at 108 Ferny Avenue will be known as La Pelago, and will comprise four huge towers with nearly 1,000 apartments, around a quarter dedicated to a hotel.

Gurner swooped for their first residential development on the Gold Coast, and only their second in Queensland, following the collapse of Ralan, who had planned for two towers on the sprawling Budds Beach site.

La Pelago, likely named after the small commune in Italy, centralises on a private island theme, where each building is surrounded by over 9,000 sqm of amenity, lush tropical landscaping by SWA and pool-side water retreats, creating four private islands.
