Lofty Heights

The Monaco is an exclusive, limited collection of palatial full-floor and half-floor luxury sky villas, and a double-storey penthouse. This opulent 24-level north-facing residential tower is designed by award-winning Rothelowman Architects and offers discerning buyers a truly momentous living experience. This is the very best of ultra-luxurious Gold Coast living, with every detail designed to capture the breathtaking, unimpeded views and convey a sense of extravagant drama.

A car elevator and two sky garages, custom designed kitchen, four ensuited bedrooms and a private rooftop pool are just some of the features that make The Monaco’s penthouse stand apart from all other apartments. Spanning the top two levels and offering 578 square metres of living space, the residence takes in 360 degree panoramic views of the ocean and skyline from the Gold Coast’s exclusive Main Beach. In partnership with international interior design studio Mannigan Edwards Interior Design, developer Ignite Projects has created a sky home which managing director Josh Foote says is ‘unlike anything the Gold Coast has seen’.

“All of the spaces can be tailored to suit the purchaser’s requirements – especially the kitchen, which can be completely customised from scratch with help from our specialists from Evoque Interiors.

Mr Foote says the car elevator to sky garage, which is a feature included in most of the 21 apartments at The Monaco, is the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, and a key drawcard for luxury car enthusiasts. “Many luxury car owners regard their vehicle as a work of art, a conversation piece and something they’d like to have as part of their home, which is why having a dedicated vehicle space in the apartment is appealing,” he said. “A formal dining space, complete with a kitchen and bar, makes poolside barbeques a breeze, while a sunken lounge next to the pool, with gas fired fire-pit, is the perfect spot to enjoy a wine while taking in the view at sunset.

An expansive multi-purpose room opposite the pool could be transformed into a billiards room or private theatre - or given its location next to the guest bedroom, an additional lounge. “The master bedroom is spectacular, occupying the entire north-western wing of the penthouse, with a walk-in wardrobe spanning the length of a wall and a bathroom featuring a free-standing bath or spa.

The Monaco is fortunate to be in a class of its own not only in terms of the superior position on the northern-most tip of the coastal strip, but also its location within one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after suburbs. Main Beach is centre stage right now, with a major $200 million plan to revitalise The Spit, which is immediately north of The Monaco, into a world class destination. "The Spit will be the Gold Coast's answer to London's Hyde Park, with about the same amount of space - 140 hectares - dedicated to parklands and green space, alongside an array of new dining, retail and entertainment precincts.
