First came the office, then came the home office, then came shared workspaces where like-minded people could co-habitat and work collaboratively.

Now, in a first for a Gold Coast residential apartment community, One Cannes’ presents its First-Class Business Lounge, drawing inspiration from Qantas’ infamous first-class lounges, it is set to take the ‘work from home’ environment to extraordinary new heights.

Marquee’s luxurious $85 million One Cannes is set to unveil one of the most unique residential apartment amenities ever seen on the Gold Coast.

Designed for modern downsizers who seek to blend work and leisure in ultimate luxury, One Cannes in Surfers Paradise promises an unparalleled level of sophistication.

“Marquee’s trademark premium residential amenity, is taken to a new level rarely seen on the Gold Coast, giving back to residents more space and facilities to be used as an extension of their home and enjoyed with family and friends,” said Marquee Director Jacques Winterburn.

“Our focus has always been on delivering exceptional quality and value for our customers. We meticulously design our amenities to cater to the evolving needs of our residents, ensuring they enjoy both luxury and functionality.

“We have created state-of-the-art recreational facilities that are tailored to the lifestyle needs of our buyers, many of whom are downsizers who still work but have the flexibility in their careers to operate their businesses from wherever they wish.”

One Cannes has whetted the appetite of downsizers and owner-occupiers alike to change their address to the Gold Coast’s most coveted address and enjoy the ultimate in luxury waterfront living.

“Marquee has a finger on the pulse of exactly what our buyers need, and we’ve delivered amenities that appease the transition to downsizing.”

“Something that has become obvious, post pandemic, was the growing flexibility of the business community to interact. Innovations such as Teams and Zoom have revolutionised doing business and we have provided an on-site business lounge inspired by this transformation that exceeds the expectations of many of our buyers.”

The First-Class Business Lounge will provide residents with all the essentials they need to support a productive work environment including private offices and meeting rooms, a boardroom, coffee and drinks station with filtered or sparking water, and breakout terraces to observe the natural beauty surrounding the development.

“We recognise that residents may sacrifice living space when moving in, so we equipped One Cannes with all the best communal amenities that create a community, where tenants can work productively from home in the company of likeminded individuals.”

One Cannes is not all work, it also boasts an elaborate relaxation and wellness space, designed for the benefit of long-term residents.

On the ground level, residents will enjoy 5-star resort style amenities including a riverfront pool deck with a 25m infinity edge lap pool and poolside sunbeds, private pontoon and jetty, a fully-equipped large scale gym, yoga and reformer Pilates studio, and European style sauna to name a few.

On the rooftop floor, residents will have the luxury of stunning panoramic views of the Gold Coast, a teppanyaki dining table, a resident’s lounge with; bar, billiards table & TVs, the First-Class Business Lounge, a private formal dining room, and rooftop terrace lounges.

“Marquee had several repeat buyers in One Cannes from previous projects who wanted to upgrade into our newest building to be completed. We tend to have quite a few repeat purchasers in our projects which underscores that trust and satisfaction our buyers have with the buildings we deliver”, said Azura Griffen.

John Mayer, a buyer at One Cannes, commented “The Business Lounge, along with all the other amenities, was one of the first things we saw that made us want to buy here.

“I haven’t seen anything like this business lounge and the other amenities on the Gold Coast. You can use the Business Lounge, take an hour off, go down and use the gym, have a swim in the pool, and then come back refreshed to resume your workload”, Mr Mayer added.

“There is a really user-friendly app that allows you to book any room in the Business Lounge, for the time you need it. It has given me the flexibility I need in my lifestyle”, commented Lottie Keenan, another One Cannes buyer.

“Now, I don’t just live and work in my apartment. I have a dedicated space where I can meet people and get my work done, it’s been incredibly exciting.

“Having that opportunity to get out and have a different space is really important to me.”

One Cannes is set to redefine the Gold Coast, which residents are now discovering as they settle into this stunning new community.
