RPA and RLC MOVE TO THE ROCKET

The two companies responsible for the evolution of Robina have taken up residence in its signature corporate building, The Rocket.

Robina Land Corporation, which initiated development of Robina in the early 1980s, and Robina Projects Australia, the tower’s developer, have relocated from another of that company’s office building developments, HQ@Robina.

The move follows expiry of a lease over the HQ@Robina premises, which were sold to an investor in 2007 with the two companies remaining as tenants.

The new 340 square metre premises are on level eight of the $110 million, 16-level CBDRobina tower, which was completed last December.

The Rocket has 11,000 square metres of floorspace above an 1,800 square metre retail precinct and was designed to serve as CBDRobina’s premier corporate address.

It enjoys a strategic location fronting Lake Lido at 203 Robina Town Centre Drive, at its junction with Laver Drive.

RPA General Manager Hylton Slater said it had always been the companies’ intention to make the tower their base.

“The Rocket through its design, quality and location, bespeaks the future of CBDRobina as the Gold Coast City’s premier business centre,” he said.

“It is fitting that the two companies which have played significant roles in bringing into existence the appealing, masterplanned community, should have their base in the tower.”

CBDRobina, as the area surrounding Robina Town Centre is branded, is already established as a medium to high density precinct and is recognised as a Principal Activity Centre under State Government and Gold Coast City Council regional economic plans. 

CBDRobina has developed a distinct and unique character within Gold Coast City and has become a significant central centre within the bustling conurbation that now extends from the Gold Coast International Airport to northern Brisbane.

Robina Land Corporation has been largely responsible for residential and infrastructure development at Robina, while RPA has focused on the evolution of its business centre.

RPA other recent projects also include office developments Eastside and Campus Alpha; Easy T convenience centre, which blends residential, retail and commercial elements; Sidewalk on Scottsdale and The Wharf with apartments above a commercial precinct; and the M1 Business Precinct where businesses can acquire land in order to develop purpose-designed facilities.   

The Rocket is being marketed by Marcus Weld of Robina Marketing Australia.
