The Quarters Severin · Parramatta Park, Cairns
Built to housethe people who keep Cairns moving.
A 16-suite co-living development in Parramatta Park, Cairns, built across two connected three-storey buildings around a shared pool and courtyard. Structured and delivered through the Landmarx platform, this opportunity is now secured and under construction.
Why Co-Living
A region that runs
on rotation,
not just residency.
Far North Queensland has a housing problem with two faces: one of the tightest rental markets in the country, layered on a regional economy that depends on rotating and seasonal workforces as much as permanent residents.
Co-living addresses both at once. It delivers more usable rooms per unit of land and construction cost than a standard dwelling, with flexible-term, professionally managed housing that fits how people in FNQ actually need to live, rather than an informal share-house arrangement.
Who It Houses
Health Workers
Locum doctors and agency nurses covering rural and regional workforce gaps, typically rotating through on assignments of weeks to months.
Agriculture & Harvest
Seasonal workers supporting the Tablelands, Mareeba, Innisfail and Tully harvest calendar, needing housing for a season rather than a 12-month lease.
Resources & Infrastructure
Contractors and tradespeople transiting through Cairns between rotations on major projects, needing accommodation that matches a roster.
Tourism & Hospitality
Dive instructors, tour operators and hospitality staff serving the Reef and Port Douglas visitor economy, often on itinerant work patterns.
Students & Locals
Young professionals, students and singles priced out of the standard rental market, seeking a well-managed, above-board place to live.
The Project
Two buildings,
one community.
The Quarters Severin comprises two connected three-storey buildings at 310 & 312A Severin Street, Parramatta Park, with eight self-contained suites per building spread across the upper two floors, and ground-level entry, services and parking.
A landscaped central courtyard and shared pool sit between the two buildings, linked by a covered walkway, forming the physical and social heart of the site.
