Positioned within the brand-new St Clair development in the heart of Birtinya, 11 Waterside Retreat presents an exceptional opportunity for investors seeking a premium, low-maintenance property with strong tenant appeal, resort-style resident amenities, and long-term growth fundamentals. Purposefully designed for modern coastal living, this beautifully finished apartment combines fresh contemporary interiors with a highly convenient location just moments from the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Birtinya Shopping Centre, Lake Kawana, Bokarina Beach, cafés, restaurants, walking paths, and major transport connections. Birtinya continues to be one of the Sunshine Coast's most connected and in-demand lifestyle precincts, underpinned by major health, retail, education, lifestyle, and infrastructure drivers. Recent market data highlights the strength of the local unit market, with Birtinya apartments and units recording a median price of approximately $833,000 and annual growth of 23.0% over the past 12 months. Over the longer term, Birtinya units have also recorded significant capital growth, with median unit values increasing by approximately 94.55% over the past five years. With the Sunshine Coast confirmed as a co-host city for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and nearby Kawana set to play a key role through the Sunshine Coast Stadium precinct, the area is well positioned to continue benefiting from major infrastructure, lifestyle demand, and increased regional exposure in the years ahead. The apartment features two well-proportioned bedrooms, a stylish modern bathroom, open-plan living and dining, and a contemporary kitchen complete with quality appliances, timber-look cabinetry, and a clean neutral finish. Split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans, generous natural light, and a practical floorplan further enhance day-to-day comfort and tenant appeal. Beyond the apartment itself, St Clair delivers a level of resident amenity that sets it apart. Residents can enjoy a 25m resort-style pool, landscaped green spaces, BBQ areas, fire pit, residents' lounge with pool table and dining facilities, plus an impressive rooftop terrace with outdoor kitchen and BBQ facilities capturing ocean and hinterland views. These facilities create a lifestyle offering rarely found in standard apartment living and provide a compelling point of difference for future tenants.
