Echelon – live the dream

Echelon will be Yeppoon’s newest oceanfront development with just 42 luxury apartments, located on Yeppoon’s main beach. A boutique shopping arcade offering specialty retail shops and restaurants (including a proposed day spa) together with 35 deluxe two-bedroom apartments and 7 split-level penthouses all with a level of finish unrivalled in the region.

Ideally located half way between Palm Cove and Brisbane and on the doorstep of Australia’s biggest resource producing townships, Yeppoon is a holiday resort town, which has grown in popularity. Yeppoon is known for it’s beautiful sandy beaches, where the swimming is great all year round. Yeppoon’s pristine coastline remains untouched and the town’s views over the Keppel isles and Coral Sea are breathtaking 365 days of the year. The region is geographically stunning boasting a number of national parks, including the Capricorn Coast National Park and Ross Creek environmental reserve running through the middle of Yeppoon.

Yeppoon’s main beach over recent years has transformed into one of Central Queensland’s best pedestrian boulevards punctuated with public art, bbq and playground areas and substaintial pathways and landscaping. Echelon is one of only a handful of genuine oceanfront opportunities along the main beach of Yeppoon, and as such represents a unique and limited opportunity to secure a lifestyle and investment with the best credentials property can offer.

Tourism demand is swelling in the region as holiday makers increasingly see the area as a relaxed coastal environment offering a plethora of activities for a broad range of demographics from families to retirees. With an increased demand for upper end accommodation, the lack of new, quality apartments is overwhelmingly apparent in the region. An estimated $60 billion worth of development is earmarked for Yeppoon and it’s surrounds over the next 20 years which will stimulate further long-term population growth and short-term tourism demand, which are likely to underpin strong capital growth of residential property (particularly beachfront) in the short to medium term.

According to leading demographer Bernard Salt, Yeppoon is tipped to be among the strongest performers of the 2007 property market. “remote coastal towns, like Yeppoon, near mining locations will be the unlikely darlings of the property market this year as the resources sector continues to surge”.
