River House by Fortis, Kangaroo Point

River House by Fortis, Kangaroo Point presents a rare collection of full floor residences at 44 O’Connell Street, in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held riverfront suburbs. With only fifteen apartments in total, including a limited number of whole floor residences and one expansive two-level penthouse, River House offers an exclusive opportunity to experience uninterrupted, north east facing riverfront living. Every residence enjoys sweeping views across the Brisbane River, capturing the Story Bridge, Howard Smith Wharves, New Farm and Humbug Reach. Positioned for privacy, light and natural ventilation, this boutique offering has been thoughtfully designed to deliver calm, refined living in a location that connects directly with the city yet feels a world away.

Interiors, fixtures and fittings emphasising calm, evocative design

Each residence at River House occupies an entire level, with interiors designed by Mim Design to evoke a sense of quiet sophistication. The design language embraces soft curves, natural materials and a palette that reflects the surrounding landscape. Timber cabinetry, natural stone and warm textures feature throughout, balancing beauty with functionality.

Open plan layouts are enhanced by floor to ceiling glazing that draws the river panorama into every living space. In selected residences, sculptural stone island benches and private lobbies elevate the arrival experience. Bedrooms and bathrooms are generously scaled, with carefully considered finishes that provide comfort and longevity. Every detail has been curated to support a tranquil lifestyle, where refined design and exceptional craftsmanship meet.

Onsite amenity that supports wellbeing and connection

River House provides an impressive suite of wellness focused amenities designed for both rejuvenation and recreation. At the building’s base, a tiered series of landscaped zones reflects the form of rainforest pools, creating a tranquil environment that connects residents to the natural beauty of the riverfront.

A generous infinity edge swimming pool appears to blend seamlessly into the river’s horizon, offering a peaceful space for swimming and relaxation. Residents also enjoy access to a dedicated wellness area, complete with a sauna and steam room, and a fully equipped gym for maintaining an active lifestyle. Riverfront gardens and shaded outdoor spaces provide room for entertaining or quiet reflection. The inclusion of a private pontoon further enhances the riverfront offering, allowing direct water access in a way that is both rare and highly functional.
