MRCB International’s Gold Coast development, 26 Vista, has been recognised with two prestigious international awards at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards 2024, solidifying its status as a leader in architectural excellence and innovation.

26 Vista has been awarded both the Best Apartment Architectural Design and the Sustainable Design Awards, marking a significant achievement for MRCB International in the realms of architectural design excellence and sustainability.

“We’re honoured to receive these awards, they are a testament to our commitment to thoughtful planning, design and overall sustainability,” said Kevin Zhang, Sales and Marketing Director at MRCB International.

“At MRCB, we are dedicated to creating the most liveable and sustainable developments, and these two awards underscore our commitment to ensuring every aspect of our projects is environmentally friendly and benefit the local community.”

26 Vista exemplifies sustainable architectural design through its commitment to passive design strategies, sustainable materials, land use, and accessibility.

Featuring 280 residences, the $500 million 26 Vista offers a unique collection of three-storey town homes, along with a variety of one- two- three- and four-bedroom apartments, offering residents an unparalleled lifestyle on the Gold Coast.

The building’s orientation maximises solar exposure, while extensive East-West openings enhance natural ventilation and reduce reliance on mechanical heating and cooling. Shading elements such as balconies and high-performance glazing, minimise solar heat gain, promoting energy efficiency.

Located in Surfers Paradise, the development will feature a lush landscape, a recreation deck, and a rooftop lounge – all designed to improve indoor air quality, provide natural shading, and enhance to residents’ overall well-being.

Seamlessly blending luxury and sustainability, all residences are equipped with V-ZUG appliances, renowned for their Swiss craftsmanship and carbon-neutral production, ensuring both quality and environmental responsibility.

Sustainability is further enhanced through the use of sustainably sourced materials, including recycled timber and non-toxic finishes, ensuring low embodied energy.

To encourage residents to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels, 26 Vista will include communal electric vehicle charging facilities and optional upgrades for car spaces.

“Sustainability has been central to the project throughout the whole design process,” said Mr Zhang.

“We have invested heavily in researching and constructing sustainable facilities and materials, to further our commitment to environmental stewardship.”

Setting a new standard, the rooftop terraces offer residents 360-degree views from the ocean to hinterland ranges.

Residents will also enjoy world-class wellness and recreation amenities on Level 4, showcasing a lap pool, spa, shaded outdoor lounge areas, gym, sauna, steam room, yoga deck, cinema room, games room, and resident’s lounge.

Notably, Level 51 includes an exclusive indoor and outdoor lounge, with a plunge pool, perfect to relax and unwind.

“26 Vista will feature world-class amenities and is poised to become one of the Gold Coast’s most captivating opportunities for buyers seeking the ultimate coastal lifestyle,” said Mr Zhang.

26 Vista is one of the fastest-selling projects on the Gold Coast in the past 12 months, with the remaining unsold apartments currently starting at $1.8 million.
