Locals in the know have led the surge of buyers at Lighthouse on the Newport waterfront. Released in June, already more than 50 per cent of the apartments have been sold in stage one.

Offering the coastal luxe lifestyle for which Traders In Purple is renowned, Lighthouse occupies an absolute waterfront site with uninterrupted views across Moreton Bay.

Located on Newport’s final waterfront apartment address, with a 22-berth marina frontage, Lighthouse consists of two buildings, Palm and Dune, connected by a subtropical porte cochere entry.

Stage one, Palm, was released in June, and with a mix of over-sized two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, three-bedroom garden villas and three-bedroom townhomes, has found favour with a wide range of buyers, predominantly from the Pine Rivers region and Moreton Bay.

While the relaxed Newport lifestyle is an obvious drawcard, it’s the design and resort-style resident amenity that has proven especially compelling. Each of the two buildings has its own swimming pool, al fresco entertaining areas, beautifully landscaped gardens and a shared residents’ lounge.

Designed by leading architectural studio Rothelowman, Lighthouse incorporates many thoughtful design touches that add to the sense of being on perpetual holiday.

“There’s a quiet harmony in the design – light, layered and grounded in the natural rhythm of southeast Queensland,” Rothelowman principal architect Jeff Brown says. “From the point of arrival, as you travel deeper into Lighthouse, a series of garden lobbies and airy walkways have been carefully orchestrated to make the journey from outdoors to indoors beautiful and welcoming.”

Interiors reinforce the sense of elegant simplicity, emphasising quality, light and warmth within a neutral colour and finishes palette.

Traders In Purple CEO Brett Robinson says the group’s track record on the Moreton Bay Peninsula gives confidence to customers buying off the plan.

“This is our fifteenth project in the region and our second in Newport, following the sellout success of Lasail on the Newport waterfront,” Mr Robinson says. “Purchasers can see the quality and craftsmanship of our projects and trust us to deliver what we promise.”
