Flora Burleigh: Bringing house level expectations into townhouse development

When Tallow Property Group set out to create Flora Burleigh, their new boutique townhouse development in the heart of Burleigh Heads, they wanted to bring the same level of expectation a buyer would have if they were buying, or even building, a brand new house.

Tallow Property Group Director James Thompson said they brought in some of the most well-known local talent in custom house design to create Flora.

“We engaged Jayson Pate, who designs award-winning homes and duplexes on the Gold Coast, to essentially bring the same approach he has with a luxury house build into a boutique development of six townhouses,” Thompson said.

“We want our buyers to feel like they’re buying a high-end custom home, just at a fraction of the price.

Thompson, a born and bred Gold Coast local who was a former Director at Herron Todd White Property Valuer’s and now runs leading Gold Coast buyers agency – BUYR, has over two decades of industry knowledge and experience which he brings to Tallow Property Group.

Thompson had the Instagram famous Zephyr & Stone handle the project’s interior design.

“Zephyr and Stone have a distinct modern coastal style that perfectly matches the Burleigh Heads location and lifestyle. The selection of natural stone, oak timber flooring, brass tapware and timber cabinetry is timeless and creates a luxury yet understated aesthetic,” Thompson says.

Each of Flora Burleigh’s townhouses have three bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, two or three bathrooms, and a two-car garage. They start from $1,795,000 and offer 220 sqm of gross floor area.

Listening to buyer feedback, Tallow developed the designs with Jayson Pate, allowing for a lift for those buyers looking to future proof the home. Ditto a plunge pool in the courtyards, an additional option in the pet-friendly space.

Cunningham Constructions have been locked in to handle the build, with construction forecast for completion in mid-2024.

Tallow bought the Burleigh Street site in late 2021, their first project in Burleigh Heads but their second in the wider Burleigh area, and their sixth project to date.

“We believe Burleigh is the best spot on the Gold Coast,” Thompson says.

“It’s the best location in terms of where locals want to be, not just interstate buyers, or just people looking to buy off the plan. Everyone wants to be in Burleigh in any capacity.

“There’s a cohort of people who don’t buy or live in Burleigh, but the area is so sought-after, even if you’re visiting or living in Broadbeach or somewhere closer to Surfers, you’re making your way down to Burleigh at some point to take advantage of the more relaxed beachside culture.”

Tallow bought the Burleigh Street site for its prime location, a few hundred metres from the cafes, shops and restaurants on James Street.

“It’s a short three-minute walk to James Street and a seven-minute walk to the beach, allowing you to experience all that Burleigh village has to offer,” Thompson says.

“Flora presents a rare opportunity to purchase a townhouse product under $2 million that is in the heart of Burleigh Heads. There’s not going to be too many opportunities to be able to create something like we have at this price point.”
