Located across the road from Lewis Land’s Harbour Town, Harbour Shores has access to the retail, dining and events precinct, as well as amenities to be developed on site, including a new community parkland and public boardwalk.

Lewis Land directors Marnie Lewis-Millar and Shay Lewis-Thorp said the group had a long history of creating vibrant and innovative communities, especially on the northern end of the Gold Coast.

“Projects such as The Sovereign Islands, Ephraim Island, Runaway Islands and Harbour Town Shopping Centre stand as testament to our commitment to this city,” Ms Lewis-Millar said.

The delivery of apartments, villas, open spaces, parkland, private marina berths, and resort-style amenities for more than 4000 people, will be developed on the 16ha site.

“Harbour Shores represents the largest and most dynamic community development in Lewis Land’s 65-year history, delivering architectural homes and apartments immersed in nature and world-class amenities adjoining the Harbour Town shopping precinct.”

Designed by BDA architects, Harbour Shores will evolve over the next decade to deliver a mix of apartments and villas, communal open spaces and parklands, a 1.2km waterfront boardwalk, private marina berths, and resort-style amenities for residents.

The masterplan has received a 6 Star Green Star Communities rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, making it the most sustainable development in the history of the Gold Coast.

Lewis Land chief executive Brett Draffen said the project would deliver the most sustainable homes on the Gold Coast and create up to 5000 construction jobs over the next 10 years.

“From the outset, we assembled a first-class team of architects, landscape designers, planners and placemaking experts and set an ambitious sustainability goal for Harbour Shores to become the group’s first completely fossil-fuel free development,” he said.

“Over 200,000 new native and tropical plants will immerse the residential spaces in nature, while rainwater harvesting and retention tanks, solar power, and electric vehicle charging stations will ensure Harbour Shores is built for the future.
