Maroochydore apartments bring wellness-led living minutes from the ocean

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: Walker Corporation
• Builder: Paynter Dixon
• Address: 9 South Sea Islander Way, Maroochydore, QLD 4558
• No. of Residences: 248
• Estimated Completion Date: January 2028

Rising within Maroochydore City Centre is SOL by Walker, a new residential address designed for those who want to live well, stay connected, and enjoy the calm of the coast without giving up the energy of an urban hub.

At its core, SOL is a community-focused development where residents can prioritise health, balance, and social connection without leaving home.

As local buyers Sofia Zanone and Chris Rothureau said, “What really stood out was the quality of the finishes and the level of amenity.

“SOL has everything we are looking for in a home, offering great quality and value for money, with the added bonus of being part of a new city centre just minutes from the beach.”

Community-focused spaces above the city

Across multiple levels, an impressive suite of shared amenities supports both active routines and slower moments of rest and recuperation. A 20-metre lap pool is complemented by a spa, cold plunge, sauna, and steam room, creating a spa-like circuit more often found at high-end wellness retreats than in residential buildings.

For daily movement, a fully equipped gym opens onto an outdoor yoga area and a Zen lounge, offering space to stretch, reset, or recharge.

Above it all, the Sky Terrace extends the wellness experience into the social realm. Here, residents can swim, work, read, or gather, with co-working spaces, a library, and outdoor entertaining zones designed to encourage both productivity and connection.

Communal gardens, BBQ areas, and shared dining spaces further reinforce SOL’s focus on community, creating places where neighbours naturally come together, whether for morning coffee or long-table dinners.

Where urban energy meets coastal calm

Beyond the building, SOL’s location places residents at the centre of one of Queensland’s most exciting urban transformations. Once complete, Maroochydore City Centre will be home to more than 10,000 residents and accommodate up to 20,000 workers each day, positioning it as the Sunshine Coast’s new cultural and commercial heart. Cafés, dining, retail, and green spaces are all within walking distance, while beaches and riverfront walks remain just minutes away.

This balance between coastal calm and city convenience is a key drawcard for buyers, with the project team having to bring forward the release of the second tower to meet demand from long-established locals looking to downsize, multigenerational families purchasing multiple apartments, and first-home buyers.

Walker Corporation’s group executive of development, Peter Saba, said, “Buyers recognise this is a rare opportunity to secure a premium residence in one of Australia’s most exciting economies, surrounded by great hospitality and services, just minutes from the beach.”

“Walker is drawing on over 50 years of experience in placemaking to grow the Maroochydore City Centre, during a time of record infrastructure investment in the Sunshine Coast region, with projects like The Wave Stage 3, Sunshine Coast Arena, and the Athletes Village, all building momentum and excitement in the lead up to the 2032 Olympics.”

Timeless, coastal homes designed to last

Designed by Plus Studio, with penthouses by MIM Design, the homes reflect a calm, coastal sensibility. Residences feature open-plan layouts, generous configurations, and flexible multi-purpose rooms. Natural materials, such as warm oak engineered flooring, Caesarstone benchtops, and porcelain tiles, create interiors that feel grounded and timeless, while premium Miele appliances and fully ducted air conditioning bring everyday comfort and ease.

Many apartments are oriented to capture views across the ocean, Maroochy River, or hinterland, adding a sense of retreat to city living.

Scheduled for completion in January 2028, SOL by Walker brings together wellness, community, and location to create a home designed not just to live, but to live well.

Three-bedroom + MPR apartments and three-bedroom Terraces, as well as The Penthouse Collection, are now selling. Priced from $1,500,000 for a three-bedroom residence with two bathrooms and two car parking spaces.
