Coogee is set to welcome a new boutique development, Cove, which pays homage to its historic past while offering modern luxury living. This eight-apartment project, located at 76 Bream St, is a contemporary reimagining of a 1910s apartment block, preserving its original facade while introducing a cutting-edge interior.
“I’d describe it as having old skin with new bones,” says Michael Skala, managing director of Willow Development Group, the developers behind Cove. “We knew we had to keep the facade. I love heritage, the reason I got into property development was to try and preserve it.”
While the exterior maintains the charm of the original building, the interiors have been modernized by K.P.D.O architects. Residents can enjoy a neutral palette with stone and ceramic surfaces, timber accents, and the latest appliances.
Cove offers a variety of layouts, including six two-bedroom apartments and two three-bedroom top-floor residences. Two ground-floor garden units also feature, providing approximately 75 square meters of living space. Many apartments boast stunning ocean views.
“We wanted to give people the best of what’s available in the market in terms of finishes and appliances,” Skala explains. “By preserving a good part of the original building – and not having to build from scratch – there is a significant cost reduction, which is then passed directly onto the buyer.”
Each floor plan includes private alfresco dining spaces and a multipurpose room, perfect for a home office or media room. The project is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2025.
The coveted location, just steps from the sand of Coogee Beach and the popular Coogee Pavilion, promises a quintessential Sydney beach lifestyle. Apartment prices range from $2.2 million to $3.2 million.
