Smith Collective
Master Plan
The Smith Collective is a landmark precinct and represents Queensland’s largest multi-residential project ever undertaken in a single stage.
The 7.1ha site began as Parklands – the official Athletes Village for the 2018 Commonwealth Games – and transitioned to the build-to-rent scheme now known as the Smith Collective, housing approximately 2500 residents.
The joint venture between Arkhefield + ARM + Archipelago brought together hinterland and coastline design in a uniquely Gold Coast offering to deliver 1250 dwellings, consisting of 3 bedroom town homes and 1 and 2 bedroom apartments as part of a modern, vibrant, mixed-use development.
The master plan organises itself around a main street connecting Parklands Drive, Hospital Boulevard, the Village Heart and a central park. The residences, which are designed to capture the essence of the subtropical climate emblematic of the Gold Coast, are positioned around this structure.
The site has transformed into a new mixed-use neighbourhood. It includes a residential community, a business hub for health and knowledge, as well as a commercial and retail development - all integrated with the adjacent Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct.
