Media summary

“Catalina” embodies the distinctive character of the Bayside region with its sculptural and expressive curved design, paying homage to the natural forms of the sand dunes and the rippling waters of Moreton Bay, Wynnum foreshore, and Manly Harbour. The building’s grand balconies seamlessly transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces, epitomizing harmony with nature.

The Skydeck offers communal recreation and wellness spaces, featuring a rooftop pool, BBQ area, outdoor alfresco dining, sun deck, and Zen space, providing residents with a haven of relaxation and community.

Lush plantings encircle the building, enhancing the streetscape and integrating nature into urban living. This thoughtful landscaping contributes to the building’s bayside character and embraces the subtropical climate, ensuring “Catalina” is an icon of architectural excellence.
