Topping out ceremony marks major milestone for ‘Palm’ development in Cronulla 

Sammut Group, alongside construction partner, Versatile Construction, has celebrated the ‘topping out’ of  PALM, an exclusive beachfront residential development at 67 Gerrale Street, Cronulla.   

Sammut Group and Versatile Construction were joined by key project partners ANZ, Alceon and  PBD Architects, alongside  PALM purchasers to celebrate the completion of the highest structural point of the $100 million luxury development.  

Positioned on the doorstep of South Cronulla Beach in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire, the nine-storey project will comprise 23 high-end apartments alongside a curated ground-floor retail offering and is set to become a defining addition to Cronulla’s evolving coastal skyline.  

Within walking distance to local shops, dining, Gunnamatta Park and Cronulla Train Station, PALM has been designed to offer a curated coastal sanctuary in one of Sydney’s most sought-after beachside precincts.  

The development features a mix of two and three-bedroom residences, along with a premium penthouse. Interiors by MIM Design reflect the natural coastal environment, featuring soft curves, open-plan living, high-end finishes and thoughtful design elements tailored to downsizers and owner-occupiers. 

To deliver Palm, Versatile Construction is leveraging the seamless integrated capabilities of the Versatile Group, bringing construction, procurement and trades together from the outset to support build certainty, quality outcomes and long-term value for future residents. 

As part of this approach, specialist trades are delivered in-house through Absolute, Versatile Groups’ trade arm, enabling precise execution of key finishes including stone, tiling, timber flooring, carpet and joinery. 

Councillor Jack Boyd, Mayor of the Sutherland Shire Council, was in attendance and commented: “The topping out of PALM marks an exciting milestone for both the project team and our local community. It sets a strong benchmark for quality, supports local jobs, and is helping to shape the future of Cronulla in a considered way that preserves the coastal character that makes the Shire so special.” 

Julian Sammut, Chief Operating Officer, Sammut Group, commented: “PALM is bringing something truly unique to Cronulla and the Sutherland Shire, offering a new level of luxury. It was a joy to bring together the new residents of this community to celebrate a major milestone, and we are looking forward to welcoming them to their new homes.” 

Simon Gobbo, Head of Construction, Versatile Group, said he was delighted with the project’s progress: “We’re proud to be partnering with Sammut Group on the delivery of  PALM. This project reflects our commitment to exceptional quality and craftsmanship and showcases the strength of our integrated construction approach in delivering a premium outcome for both our client and future residents.”  

PALM is part of Sammut Group’s growing portfolio across Sydney’s coastline and reflects continued investment in high-quality residential developments within the Sutherland Shire. The project is also set to enhance connectivity and vibrancy in the area, activating surrounding streets and laneways.  

With sweeping ocean views, refined architectural design and a prime beachfront location, PALM is poised to set a new standard for luxury living in Cronulla.  

PALM is set to be completed in the second half of 2026 with 65% of apartments already sold.
