Greenmount Residences Coolangatta Review

The towers and their architecture

Abedian & Co is led by Dr Soheil Abedian and Sahba Abedian. Dr Abedian founded Sunland Group, and the listing credits the Abedian family with Palazzo Versace and 272 Hedges Avenue. At Greenmount the studio has designed two sculpted 13-storey towers that follow the natural topography of Greenmount Hill rather than standing apart from it.

The design uses fluid, organic forms and deep curving terraces, which the listing describes as responding to the rhythm of the ocean. With only 61 residences across two towers, each floor holds few homes, so apartments can be oriented to the north and the water. Full-height acoustic glazing frames the views and brings in daylight and cross-ventilation.

Greenmount Hill gives the project its shape. The listing describes towers harmonised with the topography, at 13 storeys each, and a north-facing position that it highlights for the living areas. The listing also notes permanent panoramic ocean views across Greenmount Beach, Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks.

Residences and finishes

Floorplans run from 247m² to 501m², and the listing describes them as house-sized. The configurations range from three bedrooms with three bathrooms and two car spaces up to four-bedroom residences with three car spaces. Sheltered balconies extend the living areas and face the sand of Greenmount Beach and the Pacific Ocean.

The kitchens are described as Italian custom designs, using the Blum Revego pocket door system, which lets the preparation area be opened or closed behind smoked black oak joinery and smoked glass. Honed natural stone island benchtops, integrated Gaggenau appliances and butler's kitchens are listed for the entertaining spaces.

Main bedroom suites include tailored Poliform walk-in wardrobes and ensuites with freestanding natural stone baths and wall-hung stone vanities. Because the project is off the plan, ask for the final finishes schedule for your residence and compare it with the contract.

The living areas are described as open plan, with private bedroom wings kept apart from the entertaining spaces. The listing describes layouts oriented to maximise gentle cross-ventilation, with sheltered balconies extending the indoor living zones. Smoked oak cabinetry, honed stone and butler's pantries carry through the kitchens, and the finishes schedule in the contract is the document that confirms which items apply to each residence.

Wellness and resident amenities

Central floating pavilions set across reflective water features house the shared amenities. The wellness centre includes a 25-metre indoor lap pool surrounded by subtropical planting, two heated hydrotherapy spas, a children's wading pool, a cedar sauna, a steam room, hot and cold magnesium plunge pools and a hammam spa.

Beyond the pool, the listing names a Technogym fitness centre, a yoga and reformer pilates studio, a concierge, a private resident dining room and a residents' lounge. An executive business suite with private offices and a boardroom sits in Tower Two. At the water's edge there is direct private stair access to Marine Parade and the beach, secure beach and surfboard storage and a communal produce garden.

Facilities at this scale are funded through the body corporate. Ask for the draft budget and the by-laws before you sign, so the levy and the rules for shared spaces are clear. Our body corporate guide explains what the levy covers and how it is set.

A communal produce garden and secure storage for beach and surfboard gear round out the daily-use facilities. The listing describes the pavilions as sitting across reflective water features, so the shared areas are arranged around the landscape rather than stacked in a podium.

Buying off the plan at Greenmount

With completion scheduled for late 2027, settlement is some time after signing. An off-the-plan contract in Queensland includes a sunset clause, the date by which the developer must complete the building, and the contract sets out each party's rights if that date passes. Our guide to sunset clauses and your rights explains what to check, and the off-the-plan stamp duty guide covers how the concession applies.

Overseas buyers should read our FIRB guide for off-the-plan buyers before signing. Your solicitor should read the contract and the disclosure statement before you sign. Talk to your lender early as well, because an off-the-plan loan is generally assessed again nearer to settlement than at signing.
