Less is more in the revamped plan for stage two of the Gallery Apartments on Rockhampton’s Victoria Parade.
New plans were submitted this week with Rockhampton Regional Council, with developers Wayne Riddell and Andrew Beaumont proposing 15 units, instead of the approved 26 units.
The $10 million-dollar stage two will now be an eight-storey building with 14 three-bedroom units and one four-bedroom penthouse unit.
“Rather than having smaller units we are going to the three bedroom plus, there is that growing demand people want one per floor and more room,” said selling agent Pat O’Driscoll.
The building will be 27 metres high and has been designed to blend in with the existing Gallery stage one building next door.
