The secluded Belongil Beach precinct on Byron Bay's northern shores now boasts the seaside village's most exclusive residences with the completion this week of Citimark's East on Byron.
Nestled amidst two-acres of landscaped waterfalls and native plants, East on Byron is located about one kilometre north of Byron's café and restaurant precinct at 35 Childe Street.
East on Byron is also home to the "new" Belongil Beach Café and Deli - Phil Aulich's Byron Bay culinary "institution" which has relocated to the project.
The $35 million project comprises 20 two-bedroom beach villas; two three-bedroom beach villas and four double-storey beach houses.
The stunningly appointed residences unfold around a billabong-style, natural rock-built resort pool.
Brisbane-based Citimark Properties purchased the site in 2004 with Glenzeil commencing construction began in January 2005.
Sales and Marketing Manager, Ms Rhianne Chester said that 20 villas and homes had been sold since marketing commenced in early 2004, with just six apartments now on the market.
"The final release includes (1) one 361sq m beach villa with three bedrooms and lap pool priced at $1.55 million and (1) one 171 sq m villa priced at $1.35 million," she said.
Ms Chester said that East on Byron's innovative design by well-known, award winning architects, Kevin Hayes Architects and landscapers Darryl Mappin Garden Design had delivered definitive luxury in a natural setting.
"The stunning two and three bedroom beach houses and villas residences all features open plan living, premium finishes and a huge amount of storages space.
"Their large private balconies have stainless steel electric BBQs and outdoor kitchen facilities, with stacking sliding doors completely opening up to the interior kitchen/dining areas to create a single entertaining area.
"The highly detailed premium finishes include feature marbolo glass shelving; stainless steel Miele appliances, feature glass mosaic splash backs; handmade wallpaper; bamboo cabinetry and built-in furniture.
"All the main bedrooms feature ensuited spas and either polished concrete or timber floor boards," she said.
Initially the site of a whaling station in the early 1900s, East on Byron has been constructed on what was eventually turned into a family-friendly holiday park.
Timber and other artefacts from the original whaling station found on the site have been recycled as features throughout the development.
The company currently has 16 projects under development including the $120m Brisbane CBD Riverfront residential project - Evolution; and a new $35m, 25ha industrial and business park on the former Mitsubishi engine plant site in Lonsdale in Adelaide's southern suburbs.
