Project
Details:
The Sovereign Islands is a unique, prestigious large scale
Lewis Land Corporation residential development situated in the
Southport Broadwater comprising 6 interconnected islands and
providing deep water frontage allotments with uninhibited access
to the Gold Coast Seaway.
Created from sand
islands and an additional special lease reclamation of 1.4 million
cubic metres dredged from surrounding navigation channels, the
Sovereign Islands became the first water frontage housing
development in Australia to offer wall to wall water capable of
floating luxury yachts and power boats at all stages of the tide.
