73 luxury apartments overlook the Ross Creek river as part of Palmer streets extension as a premier recreational precinct on the edge of Townsvilles city centre.
A tavern and restaurant spread along the street with generous outdoor terrances, offering glipses toward the river mouth and out to sea.
Uninterupted views from the apartments reach out to Magnetic Island the city centre, and Castle Hill, all with generous balcony terraces facing north, shading sleek contemporary interiors. Water and energy efficient appliances have been specified to raise environmental performance in these prestige apartments to compliment the first principles of cross ventilation and thermal insulation.
Vivid white exterior walls complimented with aqua and silver fixtures thoughtfully express a sophisticated North Queensland seaside sensibility.
