Thoughtfully Designed for the Future of Noosa.
99 Noosa Drive is a residential-led mixed-use concept for the former Noosa Bowls Club site in Noosa Heads. The draft concept comprises approximately 192 apartments, including co-living accommodation and smaller dwelling formats. It also includes ground-level retail and food and beverage uses, residential amenity, landscaped public-realm areas, and a proposed new road connection between Lanyana Way and Noosa Drive. Development Application is expected to be lodged with Noosa Shire Council in the coming months.
Rooted in the character, culture and energy of Noosa Heads, the project draws inspiration from the Shire’s history, heritage, and architectural vernacular to deliver something that feels genuinely of this place.
The project is a collaboration between three Queensland-based property groups: Calile Malouf Investments, Kilter Property, and Frank Developments, united by a shared commitment to design excellence and community contribution.
Architecture is led by Cavill Architects, an award-winning recognised for creating places that balance design excellence with a strong connection to landscape, community and local character.

The Team
Calile Malouf Investments
The Malouf family’s story in Queensland begins in 1892, when Calile Malouf and his wife Ada left Lebanon to build a new life in South Brisbane. What followed was a 130-year legacy of entrepreneurship, community investment, and considered placemaking. Today, the fourth generation of the Malouf family continues that legacy through the James Street Market, The Calile Hotel – now one of Brisbane’s most celebrated hospitality addresses – and a growing presence on the Sunshine Coast, where The Calile Hotel Noosa will soon open. Their involvement in 99 Noosa Drive reflects a genuine and long-term commitment to Noosa, not simply a development transaction.
Kilter Property
Kilter Property approaches property in a refreshingly human way, brining context to the complex. By putting social responsibility over spectacle, and balancing design with commercial feasibility, Kilter Property sees opportunities where others don’t. Their ethos is rooted in finding harmony in the spaces they help develop, strengthening the communities which they live and work. Kilter brings together the complementary expertise of directors Angus Jarmer and Huw Williams, who first collaborated more than a decade ago and have since built a strong track record identifying development opportunities thorough to delivering thoughtful, design-led and community-focused projects across Queensland and Australia.
Frank Developments
Founded and directed by Frank Licastro, Frank Developments has built a reputation across Brisbane and the Gold Coast for design-led residential projects that are deeply rooted in their communities. frank.’s Queensland focus spans 15 active projects across residential and industrial asset classes. Operating across development, sales, marketing, and delivery, the team maintains full oversight of costs, quality, and outcomes from the first sketch to the final handover. Frank Licastro remains personally involved at every stage – engaging directly with neighbours, councils, and communities on each project. frank.’s history across New Farm, Teneriffe, and Paddington has been built on a simple principle: the product that is sold is the product that gets built.
Cavill Architects
Cavill Architects is an award-winning practice committed to making great architecture-built environments thoughtful in design, sensitive to both brief and site. Motivated by the natural intersection of architecture and landscape, Cavill’s work is characterised by a careful attention to how people in habit spaces and how environments can be configured to enhance experience. Their practice relies on a collaborative working environment that prioritises the varied input of clients, colleagues, collaborators, and craftspeople. For a project in a place as considered as Noosa, this approach is not incidental, it is central to the outcome.
