The Lanai project in Mackay is a 10-level apartment building, one of the first in Mackay’s new riverside urban renewal precinct. Lanai represents a new way of urban living in the tropical north. The building form is determined by arranging apartments for a maximum frontage to the north-eastern aspect, spectacular views and prevailing breezes.
The site is located on the northern edge of the CBD overlooking the Pioneer River and beyond to the boat harbour and nearby northern beaches. The prominent location is on the corner of River Street and Nelson Street with easy access to the riverside parklands including the city’s new swimming lagoon, retail and business precincts.
All apartments enjoy a floor plan which enables excellent cross ventilation. All living areas and master bedrooms open onto the major balcony with adjustable external screening. Significant effort has gone into designing the building for maximum structural and service efficiency by ensuring the right balance between standardisation of apartment layouts and providing maximum flexibility.
