Southport, Queensland

The Gold Coast's Next Trophy Management Rights Acquisition. MARIS | SOUTHPORT, GOLD COAST

Expression of Interest

Business Description

Presenting a rare opportunity to secure premium Management Rights on the Gold Coast, Maris is tipped to be the most exciting new mixed-use residential developments in the Southport skyline.

Positioned opposite the Broadwater Parklands in the heart of the Gold Coast, this landmark project by internationally recognised MRCB International, in collaboration with Binah and designed by award-winning Plus Architecture, will deliver a sophisticated new standard of coastal living in one of South-East Queensland’s fastest-evolving precincts.

Importantly, Maris is a Council-approved mixed-use development incorporating short-term accommodation, giving an incoming operator the ability to build a premium accommodation business alongside a strong permanent residential community.

The opportunity is underpinned by new, modern 25-year Management Rights agreements, providing outstanding long-term security. Maris will comprise 192 premium apartments, with early projections indicating approximately 150 apartments within the letting pool and exact numbers on preferred use as Holiday and Permanent are still to be determined. Supported by Body Corporate remuneration exceeding $380,000 per annum and a projected net profit of circa $950,000, the combination of scale, agreement tenure, accommodation flexibility and strong market acceptance well ahead of completion positions Maris among the more significant new Management Rights opportunities to be offered in Australia.

Residents and guests will enjoy an impressive collection of resort-style facilities including a swimming pool, podium BBQ and lounge areas, steam room, sauna, gymnasium, rooftop recreation and yoga deck, alfresco dining and BBQ facilities, landscaped gardens and secure parking.

The location is equally compelling. Broadwater Parklands and the G light rail are directly opposite, while Australia Fair, Southport CBD, Griffith University, Gold Coast University Hospital and the Health & Knowledge Precinct are all within easy reach.

Completion is anticipated in Q1 2029, however MRCB is deliberately seeking to appoint an experienced Management Rights operator well ahead of handover.

This early engagement is a significant advantage. It creates an opportunity for the successful operator to work alongside the developer during the construction phase, allowing practical operational knowledge, accommodation expertise, management systems and guest experience considerations to be factored into the project while options remain available.

For an established operator, investment group or syndicate seeking its next flagship acquisition, Maris brings together the fundamentals that are increasingly difficult to find in a single opportunity: scale, premium real estate, short-term letting approval, substantial recurring income, long tenure and the ability to influence the operational platform before opening.

This is an opportunity to become involved early, build the business properly from day one and ultimately operate one of the Gold Coast’s premier new Management Rights assets.

Expressions of interest and early discussions with suitably experienced operators are now invited.
