Marquee Development Partners compete sold-out The Catalina, Chevron Island apartments

Marquee Development Partners has marked the completion of its third Gold Coast project, with a ribbon cutting on the site of The Catalina, the apartment tower on Chevron Island.

The Acting Mayor Cr Donna Gates joined Marquee to commemorate the official delivery of what has become the first in a spate of art deco-inspired developments on the island, which is rapidly emerging as the city’s arts and cultural capital.

“It’s great to see buildings like this which connect the new residents directly into this amenity and culture," Gates said.

"The Catalina is a great example of a medium density development that helps provide housing options and choices for locals to downsize, upgrade or purchase their first home."

The Catalina comprises 75 apartments over nine storeys, offering residents views across the river, city skyline and hinterland. Residents also get access to a range of private amenities including a pool, gym, private dining, cinema, and rooftop residents club.

All The Catalina apartments were sold prior to construction commencing. Buyers represented an even mix of locals and interstate purchasers, with many relocating from Greater Sydney up to the Gold Coast.

“The Catalina helped provide an achievable housing option and choice for locals to downsize, upgrade or purchase their first home, without compromising on quality or amenity,” Azura Griffen, sales manager at Marquee, said.

Local Queensland builder Rawcorp delivered the nine-storey development after construction was fast tracked on the back of strong sales.

“We are delighted to have delivered yet another collection of high-quality residences for our= buyers who share our passion for this unique pocket of the Gold Coast” Griffen added.

“Rawcorp has done a remarkable job at bringing our visionary development to life and we are very proud to welcome The Catalina’s very first residents into their stunning new homes.”

The Catalina marked Marquee and Rawcorp’s third completed project on the Gold Coast together, with Rawcorp now underway on the delivery of Marquee’s sold-out Palm Beach developments, Palm Beach Residences and Northshore, which are due for completion in 2023.

“Rawcorp has an impeccable track record with the timely and reliable delivery of projects across Southeast Queensland, and we look forward to carrying forward this partnership into future Marquee projects,” Marquee Development Director, Steve Harrison, said.

The Catalina is Marquee’s second Chevron Island development, following on from the sell- out success, Stanhill Residences, which was also delivered by Rawcorp and was awarded the 2020 Master Builders Queensland Housing and Construction Award for the best Medium Density Apartment Development.
