A Gold Coast developer has looked to the 1960s to build the future, unveiling a nostalgia-driven hospitality precinct with a luxury apartment tower.

Developer Dankav is behind Lennons, a new mixed-use coastal destination inspired by the laid-back spirit and holiday vibe of the Gold Coast.

The Alfred Residences is a collection of 62 apartments above the precinct.

Developer Dankav is behind Lennons, a new mixed-use coastal destination in Mermaid Beach with restaurants, cafes, bars and a luxury apartment tower.

The landmark development will bring together restaurants, cafes, bars, retail and wellness offerings, alongside The Alfred Residences, a collection of 62 apartments above the precinct.

“Lennons represents an exciting new chapter for both Dankav and Mermaid Beach,” said Daniel Veitch, director of Dankav.

“Our vision has always been to create more than just a development.

“We wanted to establish a destination that brings people together and celebrates everything that makes the Gold Coast such a special place to live and visit.”

Lennons occupies a 4,095sq m site with frontages to the Gold Coast Highway, Alfred and Tamborine streets.

Developer Dankav is behind Lennons.

With BDA Architecture leading the residential design, J.AR Office shaping the podium and laneways, and landscape design by Urbis, the project will feature a series of spaces, lush subtropical planting and a warm, material palette.

“With Lennons, we’re bringing together boutique stays, dining, retail, wellness and residential living in a way that feels authentic to the local community,” said Mr Veitch.

“We’ve taken inspiration from the Gold Coast’s rich holiday history while creating something that looks confidently towards the future.

“We’re incredibly proud to introduce Lennons and look forward to seeing it become a much-loved part of Mermaid Beach for generations to come.”

Construction is underway with first visitors expected from 2028.

Apartments at The Alfred Residences start from $1.35m.
