Bulcock Street residential and hotel precinct, Caloundra

RCQ has approval for a staged $250 million precinct containing 74 apartments and 96 hotel or short-stay suites, targeting an early-2027 start.

Opportunity summary

The combined residential, accommodation and hospitality scope creates several separable joinery packages. RCQ is a local builder-developer with a public business contact.

Stage
Development approved; staged pre-construction · Upcoming package
Cabinetry scope

What is confirmed
  • The project is at 126-140 Bulcock Street, Caloundra.
  • Sunshine Coast Council application reference is MCU25/0185.
  • Approval was reported in March 2026.
  • The scheme contains 74 apartments and 96 hotel or short-stay suites.
  • Delivery is planned in two stages with construction expected in early 2027.
  • RCQ is the developer-builder and Architectus designed the scheme.
JOINA assessment
  • Package scoping and design coordination are likely during the current pre-construction period.
  • Residential and hotel joinery may be procured separately by stage.
  • Hospitality and amenity spaces add architectural joinery beyond dwelling cabinetry.
  • A medium-large joiner may participate in one package without carrying the whole project.

These are reasoned inferences, not statements from the issuing organisation.

Confirm before contacting
  • Has RCQ formally committed to the early-2027 construction date?
  • When will subcontractor pricing commence?
  • Will RCQ self-perform any fit-out or cabinetry work?
  • Are hotel operator requirements finalised?
