Floating new waterfront living concept

ADELAIDE-based developer Lillis Group is taking waterfront living to the next level with its $40 million Dockside project, Australia’s first luxury homes to float on the sea.

The project will be developed over three stages in the South Australian coastal holiday hamlet of Port Vincent. It includes a five-storey apartment complex complete with retail, cafes and co-working space, and eight townhouses, six of which will be waterfront properties with access to a shared pontoon.

Dockside project director Peter Villis said the development will set a new benchmark for waterfront living, holidaying, investing or working remotely, with the first homes to be released for sale at the start of next month.

“The luxury floating homes will be Australia – and possibly the world’s – first to be built over the sea, providing buyers with the rare chance to become neighbours to Port Vincent’s resident dolphins and seals and enjoy the highest standard of coastal living. “Port Vincent is a relaxed holiday destination on the Yorke Peninsula a little more than two hours’ drive from Adelaide or one hour cruise across St Vincent Gulf, which provides some of Australia’s best sailing,” Villis said.
