PARKVIEW on Grafton is the winner of the 2009 Housing Industry Association North Queensland Apartment Complex.
Completion is close for one of the most stunning apartment complexes in Cairns city – Rimington Projects’ magnificent ParkView apartments at 174 Grafton St.
Located in the heart of the city, ParkView allows owners to enjoy a leisurely stroll or ,for the more energetic, exercise along the Esplanade.
Parkview is also an easy walk from all the entertainment and excitement of Cairns’ inner-city – perfect for lifestyle living.

With this award-winning building, Rimington Projects have produced a modern design with the timeless style for which they have become renowned.
"While many of the apartment complexes in Cairns have struggled to obtain sales ParkView has continued to sell, all because buyers appreciate the quality," said Janette Lewis of marketing agents Quaid Real Estate.
"In fact, as the project emerged little touches were added to make very good apartments become great apartments.
"We now have both two- and three-bedroom display apartments set up so you can see how the apartments look furnished.
"It takes the guess work out so you don’t need to imagine anymore.
"The recreational areas are so amazing that most people stand for a while and just stare; they are so surprised to see an area like this for everyone to enjoy.
"Having a glass of wine with friends around this resort style lap pool certainly beats mowing the lawn any day!"
The building and each of the apartments exude elegance. Modern colours, clean lines and exacting quality along with all the special features make this a great place to come home to.
The sound of gentle running water is yet another feature incorporated into this complex both in the entrance foyer and in the hand made pool rock wall.
Within your apartment special additions are everywhere, from the premium quality porcelain floor tiles to the extra high ceilings with square set cornices for that extra feeling of space. Living areas are extra large and floor-to-ceiling glass doors ensure your apartment will let in the breezes and abundant natural light.
When people move from a home to an apartment it doesn’t mean that they want a small kitchen.
At ParkView the kitchens are a gourmet’s delight, with polished stone benchtops, Bosch appliances and extensive bench and cupboard space.
Most offer in-built coffee machines, some even have wine fridges, and the fridge space has been plumbed to allow for ice-makers.
Each apartment also offers a large private balcony with clear glass balustrade handrails for enjoyment of the various views of the mountains, pool, inner-city, or water. First floor apartments have the added bonus of extended balconies like the one pictured right. These balconies are truly enormous, at 70sq m.
"Rimington Projects design and construct apartment buildings that not only look great but will stand the test of time. The porcelain tiles they use are much more expensive but retain their quality and appeal for so much longer," Janette said.
"Once you have lived with porcelain tiles other tiles just look ordinary."
ParkView offers all the security features you’d expect of such a premium address including security card entry, security cameras and lift access.
With limited apartments now available in ParkView it is definitely time to make your decision. The remaining ParkView apartments are priced from $410,000 to $630,000.
