Brisbane developer&nbsp;Consolidated Properties Group&nbsp;has revealed its final release of six residences in its $450 million absolute riverfront Monarch Residences development at Toowong.&nbsp;

The Penthouse Collection encompasses the largest and most lavishly appointed apartments within Monarch Residences and the final six are hitting the market.&nbsp;

Astute buyers keen to own in what is Brisbane’s finest current apartment offering are expected to move quickly on the release, says Colliers Brisbane Director of Residential, Andrew Scriven.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own such a home of this calibre, with a breathtaking landscape with vistas of the city and 130 metres of north-facing riverfront,” Scriven said.

“There will never be another place like <a href="/new-apartments/monarch-residences-toowong-600-coronation-drive-toowong">Monarch Residences</a>.” &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302324]

The Penthouses have been curated by <a href="/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties Group</a>&nbsp;(CPG)&nbsp;in partnership with John Wardle, the Melbourne-based Architectural Institute of Australia gold medal-winning architect, and leading national architectural practice Cottee Parker.&nbsp;

The Penthouse Collection features elevated ceiling heights, starting at a minimum of 3.2m, that create a volume of space, openness to uninterrupted views, and an abundance of natural light and river breezes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302328]

In addition, the penthouses feature premium interior finishes including Herringbone European oak timber flooring, oak finished bespoke joinery, paired with luxurious Dolce Vita quartzite benchtops and a suite of European appliances.&nbsp;

The individualised floorplans allow each penthouse to showcase its own views and unique features, ensuring each of the collection’s apartments stands out from the rest.

Apartments in the Penthouse Collection range in size between 295 sqm and 347 sqm and are priced between $5.75 million and $7.9 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302329]

Consolidated Properties Group CEO and chairman Don O’Rorke says the final release of the Penthouse Collection is a case of leaving the best until last.

“We launched Monarch Residences in early 2023 and it’s been one of the best received residential projects in our 45-year history, as well as Brisbane’s, with the apartments now 95 per cent sold out ahead of construction completion end of next year,” O’Rorke said.

“There is no better-connected site in Brisbane with its rail, bus, ferry, pedestrian and cycleway linkages at its doorstep – and we have aimed to deliver apartments, amenities and a design ethos that does justice to the quality of the land and which reflects quintessential Queensland living.

“We have designed each penthouse as a sanctuary right in the heart of the city. They are the epitome of luxury, elegance and security overlooking the Brisbane River – the purchasers will be securing something truly special.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302327]

Architect John Wardle says that when designing interiors for The Collection, his team wanted to create a feeling of harmony and connect owners to the Brisbane Riverfront.

“Our design philosophy focuses on creating spaces that harmonise with their surroundings," Wardle says.

"The Collection not only captures breathtaking views but also embodies the true essence of what it means to live in Brisbane, ensuring residents feel a true connection to the riverfront.

“Each residence is a testament to modern design capability, sophistication, architectural excellence and remarkable construction.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211466]

&nbsp;

In addition to owning one of Brisbane’s most exclusive apartments, residents at Monarch Residences will have direct access to the historic heritage-listed Middenbury House, which sits on the site and is currently being restored and refurbished with the public able to access the house for the first time since it was built in 1865.

Monarch Residences is currently under construction with Hutchinson Builders, with an anticipated move-in by the end of 2025.&nbsp;

Prospective buyers can visit the multi-million-dollar, riverfront sales office on-site at 600 Coronation Drive, <a href="/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a>. The sales display will be closing at the end of the year to make way for construction.

Coronation Property has revealed the only two penthouses remaining in its architecturally significant inner west residential development, Ashbury Terraces.

There had been three luxury penthouses in the SJB-designed building that is approaching completion, however, one was snapped up pre-launch for $3.2 million.

Christine To, Head of Sales at Coronation Property, says the final release of <a href="/new-townhouses/ashbury-terraces-ashbury-165-171-milton-street-ashbury">Ashbury Terraces</a> will provide discerning purchasers the very last opportunity to secure their ideal home within this popular community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=294629]

The striking development features three distinct collections – the Terrace Collection, Apartment Collection, and for the first time on the market, the Penthouse Collection.

The exclusive Penthouse Collection offers open-plan living, as well as a private plunge pool with extensive views of the Sydney CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=294911]

Each residence will connect to generous outdoor entertainment areas, oversized backyards and courtyards, with rooftop terraces offering views of the city skyline and neighbouring parklands.

The Terrace Collection encompasses 59 three-bedroom terrace homes designed to complement Ashbury's Victorian and mid-century architectural typologies within the exclusive resort-like setting.

The Apartment Collection, with its inviting laneways and village-like feel, comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom park-side apartments, including garden-level units with landscaped yards.

Coronation introduces penthouse living at Ashbury Terraces, a first for the in demand inner west suburb

Luxury penthouses worldwide are often accompanied by exclusive clubs and amenity levels, offering residents of the most premium apartments a heightened sense of opulence and privacy.

Akin to a first class lounge at the airport, these spaces are reserved for those who own apartments at the top of the tower. Only a handful of residents are afforded access.

The likes of some of the world's most recognisable buildings, like One57 in New York, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and The Shard in London, offer their more affluent residents the privacy of bespoke amenities and the best views in the building.

The trend has recently made its way to Australia, but not to Australia's priciest capital.

Developers in Melbourne have become wise to it, trying to offer their penthouse buyers that little bit extra.

<a href="/developers/osk-property">OSK Property</a> recently revealed the penthouse collection atop <a href="/new-apartments/blvd-at-melbourne-square-19-hoff-boulevard-southbank">BLVD</a>, the latest stage of its $3 billion&nbsp;Melbourne Square precinct in Southbank.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=300209]

Residents of the eight penthouses will have exclusive access to the Skye Club Lounge on level 55 of the 75-level building.&nbsp;The Skye Club Lounge will feature a cocktail bar, dining room, and private gym.

The building also offers an extensive range of amenities including private dining rooms, &nbsp;another gym, a 25m indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna, golf simulator, entertainment and lounge spaces, and a two-level, co-working space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211867]

The quarter-floor penthouses, designed by David Hicks, range in size from 180 sqm to 471 sqm. One has already been snapped up for $6 million.

OSK Property Sales &amp; Marketing Director, Ivy Chen, said one significant driving factor of BLVD’s Penthouse Collection design was approaching each quarter-floor residence as an individual home, ensuring each offers a unique living experience that feels more like a standalone home than a bulk apartment dwelling.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=300212]

&nbsp;

Amid over 30 resident facilities in its recently completed R.Iconic development in South Melbourne, <a href="/developers/rcorporation">R.Corporation</a> has reserved a space on level 30 for The Horizon Lounge, exclusive for its Premium Collection residents.

The Premium Collection incorporates the penthouse and subpenthouses, as well as the occupants of the townhouses at the foot of the Plus Architecture-designed building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=282598]

The space is home to a relaxed lounge area, dining space, and a commercial-sized kitchen, and a mezzanine meeting area.

The penthouse collection at R.Iconic has too been designed by David Hicks and have large master suites with walk-in wardrobes, kitchens with Mielie appliances and marble islands, and some of the best views in Melbourne, back to the city and out over the bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=298024]

On top of the Horizon Lounge, Premium Collection owners will have access to R.Iconic's plethora of amenity, including a&nbsp;one-acre rooftop podium with an outdoor running track, a heated pool, and outdoor gym facilities.

The podium also includes two dining pavilions, BBQ spaces, a zen garden, and a playground. Also within the building is a cinema, karaoke room, and a 24/7 concierge service.

Inside the exclusive clubs and lounges reserved for Melbourne penthouse buyers

OSK Property has revealed the luxury penthouses atop BLVD, the latest stage of its $3 billion Melbourne Square precinct in Southbank.

<a href="/developers/osk-property">OSK Property</a> called on globally renowned designer, David Hicks, to craft the interiors of the eight penthouses that start from $4.46 million. One has already been snapped up for $6 million.

The penthouses range in size between 180 sqm and 471 sqm.

David Hicks designed the high-end residences to act as sanctuaries of opulence, catering to discerning tastes with a bespoke ‘East meets West’ theme, inspired by his international travels, fusing Eastern minimalism with Western opulence and scale.&nbsp;

“To establish a unique direction, we looked towards the East and the West for inspiration, from the most luxurious developments in New York, to refined Parisian apartments, to luxury hotels in Japan and Asia,” Hicks said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=300209]

Hicks said it was this individualised approach that gave the BLVD penthouses an extra layer of luxury.

“The approach to designing BLVD’s penthouses as individual projects retains the grandeur, privacy, and high-end design details typical of a standalone luxury home. This is a process rarely seen in high-volume apartment towers, and it will make for considered, luxurious and resolved homes. &nbsp;

“As a design practice, we see this as a pioneering stepping stone to what luxury development will be more about in the future, with BLVD leading the way."

The most impressive apartment in the&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/blvd-at-melbourne-square-19-hoff-boulevard-southbank">BLVD</a>&nbsp;penthouse collection is The Garnet, an expansive two-level, duplex-style apartment across levels 74 and 75 of the tower. The Garnet features a&nbsp;striking architectural design, highlighted by a white sculptural staircase floating above a reflection pond that connects the two floors.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=300207]

The staircase, framed by a marble archway, is positioned next to a polished brass wine cellar, leading to the main living area lined with floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen features a burgundy marble island with Calacatta Viola detailing and concealed state-of-the-art appliances.

The primary bedroom suite includes fabric-lined walls, custom timber veneer joinery, and a walk-in wardrobe designed to mimic a luxury boutique, with silk carpet, patterned timber veneer, and mirrored panels, completed by a marble-clad ensuite with a statement bathtub overlooking the bay.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=300210]

OSK Property Sales &amp; Marketing Director, Ivy Chen, said one significant driving factor of BLVD’s Penthouse Collection design was approaching each quarter-floor residence as an individual home, ensuring each offers a unique living experience that feels more like a standalone home than a bulk apartment dwelling.&nbsp;

“We challenged Hicks with crafting a unique ‘East meets West’ design for each individual penthouse, and the result is eight one-of-a-kind residences," Chen says.

"Each has its own distinct views, customisable options, and floorplans, meaning buyers will be spoilt for choice when designing the home of their dreams."

Residents of BLVD’s Penthouse Collection will have exclusive access to the premium Skye Club Lounge on level 55. The Skye Club Lounge will feature a cocktail bar, dining room, and private gym.

The building also offers an <a href="/news/vic/blvd-in-southbank-to-pursue-australias-well-certification-with-string-of-apartment-facilities">extensive range of amenities</a>, including private dining rooms, &nbsp;a state-of-the-art gym, a 25m indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna, golf simulator, entertainment and lounge spaces, and a double-storey co-working area.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=216123]

Embodying a commitment to sustainability and well-being, BLVD features carbon-neutral operation-enabled residences, gas-free design, EV charging stations, and a zen garden.&nbsp;

The tower sits within the broader Melbourne Square precinct which has already delivered a lush 3,745sqm Kennedy Park, full-line Woolworths, an early learning centre, a soon-to-expand retail precinct, and is holistically designed to focus on improving the health and wellness of residents.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211870]

BLVD is currently under construction by <a href="/builders/multiplex">Multiplex</a> with completion expected in Q1 2028.

Project marketers and valuers are expecting penthouses in Mebourne to more than double to around $60,000 per sqm in the next few years. The BLVD penthouse collection starts at just over 24,000 per sqm.

Four and five-bedroom penthouses are hard to come by in Brisbane's West End, which makes Sekisui House Australia's final release in its latest stage of its $1.2 billion West Village precinct, all the more unique.

The Opulent Release, part of the two-tower Allere Collection that is over 95 per cent sold, presents a rare opportunity for those looking for a city bolthole within a thriving lifestyle precinct, where everything is at their doorstep.

The apartments start at a generous 185 sqm and have been cleverly designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>&nbsp;so all of the rooms take in sweeping views across Brisbane.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=257538]

Premium quality finishes and fixtures feature throughout, but are no more evident than in the kitchen where there's premium marble benchtops, a five-burner gas cooktop, an electric oven, an integrated dishwasher, and a recirculating range hood.&nbsp;

The open kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, extending to a 41 sqm balcony suitable for alfresco entertaining.&nbsp;

A second, more private living area in between the bedrooms is available for intimate family gatherings.

Soundproofing material has been used in the windows and doors, and ducted and zoned air conditioning can be controlled via mobile for year-round comfort.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=257539]

Residents of the Opulent Release will have access to amenities across both rooftops, with UNO featuring a private regeneration zone with city views, an infinity edge pool, an off-leash green space, Paw Pavilion, and a dog wash bay.&nbsp;

Rare four and five-bedroom penthouses offered in West End's West Village precinct

Kailani, the only new apartment development on Batemans Bay's dress circle Beach Road, has smashed not only the local record for the highest apartment sale, but for the whole Eurobadalla Shire.

The $2.75 million sale of the penthouse crowns the low-rise building that is currently under construction by builder-developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/kela-building-group">KELA Building Group</a>.

McGrath Projects agent Adam Sparkes said the buyer was a local, and is intending on reconfiguring the large floorplan.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135129 project_image_fid=258269]

The 219 sqm penthouse, with uninterrupted views of the bay and marina, has four bedrooms and two living zones, as well as a master suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite with dual vanity, a freestanding bath, and a shower.

The penthouse also includes a large front-facing terrace and a separate side balcony accessible from the second living area, offering a prime north-westerly aspect.

There are now just four apartments left in&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/kailani-batemans-bay-50-52-beach-road-batemans-bay">Kailani</a>, currently under construction with a completion date of early 2025.

Each of the remaining apartments have three bedrooms and interiors by&nbsp;<a href="/interior-designers/archebiosis-architects">Archebiosis Interior Architects</a>&nbsp;who were inspired by&nbsp;the natural beauty of the South Coast region, incorporating organic textures and three earth-inspired palettes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135129 project_image_fid=258271]

The location of Kailani is one of the best in the whole of Batemans Bay, and is unlikely to be repeated.

The golf club is one of the biggest drawcards in the whole of Batemans Bay. The championship Catalina Club Golf Course is accompanied by the Catalina Country Club, arguably one of the most popular spots in Batemans Bay and the wider Eurobodalla Shire.

Kailani residents will be a level walk to the Batemans Bay township where there are two shopping centres, Village Centre and Bridge Plaza. The marina across the road is a boaties paradise with all required amenities. It is also home to seafood restaurants Southern Catch and JJ's at The Marina

"The immediate surrounds of Kailani suits any kind of buyer, from families and holidaymakers who can be on the water in moments to retirees and downsizers who have cafes, all essential amenities and a 27-hole golf course 200m away from their front door," KELA Director James Lawson said.

Batemans Bay apartment record smashed as Kailani penthouse sells

‘Reverse sea changers’ are returning to Brisbane as the city’s vibrant culture, food and lifestyle offering comes of age.

Sekisui House Australia sold its penthouse atop Altura, in its multi-award winning <a href="/developments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a> masterplan, <a href="/new-apartments/the-allere-collection-west-village-mollison-street-west-end">West Village</a>, to a couple coming from a large home on Sovereign Island.

The penthouse was purchased for $5.25 million by business owners Leo Nipperess and partner Brett Park, who were drawn to the expansive 368 sqm layout complete with multiple living and entertaining zones, five bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple balconies, only 800m from the Brisbane CBD.

Nipperess, after owning more than 25 properties, cited the lifestyle offering of West Village convinced them to relocate from their expansive waterfront home on the Gold Coast to the house-like proportions of the Altura penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=257538]

“Brisbane has certainly come of age,” Nipperess said.

“We owned a place at West End years ago, and it’s incredible how much West Village has lifted the entire area."

Nipperess first purchased in West Village as an investment and spent nine months living in an apartment in the Arcadia building.

“After we inspected the Altura penthouse, we decided to make the move permanently. You feel like you’re coming home to a six-star hotel. We just love it here,” Nipperess added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

Nipperess and Park say they don’t regret their decision to leave behind the often too-quiet coastal lifestyle and grueling commute on the M1 Motorway.&nbsp;

“The difference is you come home from work and there's a whole other life to enjoy,’’ Nipperess said.&nbsp;

“Any night of the week here we can walk downstairs to restaurants or collect fresh food for dinner, it’s just so easy, and day or night there are different views to enjoy from every window.

“I think the friendliness at Altura was something we didn't expect, and the sense of community is quite unique.

“We look forward to entertaining at home and enjoying the resident amenities, especially the pool and spa right above us and the working from home space.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204848]

Taku Hashimoto, Project Director, Apartment and Mixed-Use Developments at Sekisui House Australia, said there had been a noticeable trend of buyers returning from their pandemic-inspired sea-change back to Brisbane.

“Leo and Brett are among a growing number of buyers at West Village who are relocating from the Gold Coast to be closer to work, without sacrificing lifestyle,” Hashimoto said.

“West Village is a unique inner-city community where convenience, sustainability, and residential living coexist.

“There are more than 30 retailers, restaurants and health and wellness providers here, anchored by Harris Farm Markets and Woolworths.

“Major hospitals, schools and universities, and Brisbane’s CBD, are all nearby, as well as the river walk which connects West Village to South Bank’s cultural and parkland precinct. Everything is at your doorstep.”&nbsp;

Altura, Brisbane’s first neuroarchitecture building, sold out ahead of its completion in September last year. West Village’s latest apartment release, The Allere Collection, is under construction and over 95 per cent sold. With the <a href="/news/qld/sekisui-release-final-apartments-in-west-villages-allere-collection">final Opulent Release recently going to market</a>, only a handful of four and five-bedroom residences remain.

Renowned Melbourne-based developer <a href="/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> has unveiled one of the most exclusive penthouse offerings ever released on the southern Gold Coast, part of the completion of its $75 million apartment development,&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">Emerson Kirra</a>.

With nearly 20 metres of north-facing glass frontage and spanning over 500 sqm, the four-bedroom residence offers open-plan living and dining areas designed to take advantage of the panoramic 270-degree views over the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>,&nbsp;

Emerson Penthouse boasts a prime location opposite Kirra Beach Hotel, offering first-class hospitality in the vibrant hub of the Southern Gold Coast.

The crown jewel of Emerson is primed for immediate occupancy, positioning the penthouse among a rare breed of new residential offerings on the Gold Coast where buyers have been seeking greater certainty in relation to project completion before committing to a purchase.

With an asking price in excess of $10 million, Emerson joins the rarefied air of being one of only a handful of such ultra-luxury offerings on the southern Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=278790]

Hirsch &amp; Faigen Sales and Marketing Director, Matt George, says Emerson presents a rare opportunity on the east coast.

&nbsp;

"In reality, there are only a handful of key prestige north-facing beaches on Australia’s eastern seaboard - <a href="/new-apartments/kirra-qld-4225">Kirra</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/noosa-qld">Noosa</a> and Byron Bay – that take advantage of such a position and Emerson is one of the most exclusive and unique opportunities in any of these locations,” George said.

“Hirsch and Faigen have taken advantage of this outlook by creating large but functional and opulent spaces from which to maximise the extraordinary view corridors that this project offers”.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=278797]

Daniel Faigen, Director of Hirsch &amp; Faigen said they have left the best for last at Emerson, following an extremely successful campaign in which the remainder of the project has sold out.

"We are proud to unveil what we believe to be one of the finest properties on the Gold Coast," Faigen said.

“The Emerson Penthouse offers a lifestyle of exclusivity that truly sets it apart as a standout offering in the market”.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Designed by Queensland’s leading architecture firm Rothelowman, the penthouse seamlessly merges classic beachside aesthetics with modern functionality, tailored for contemporary Kirra living.&nbsp;

Featuring ceilings soaring over three-meters and expansive wall-length windows framing cinematic views of Kirra, the penthouse offers endless opportunities for residents to immerse themselves in its stunning surroundings from a secluded, elevated retreat.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=278796]

Rothelowman Principal Architect Jeff Brown said they have curated&nbsp;an oasis at Emerson Kirra.

“In designing the Emerson Kirra penthouse, we sought to create more than just a residence. Every element is thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of awe and connection, inviting residents to savour each moment amidst Kirra's panoramic vistas”.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Nestled within tropical landscaping, a north-facing outdoor sun lounge overlooks a resort-style pool offering, accompanied by world-class amenities, including the sun lounge and pool deck, designed to create a beachside connection for residents throughout the building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=278794]

Upon arrival, residents are welcomed into a bespoke central foyer extending from the lobby and serving as an extension of owners' homes.&nbsp;

Featuring a private 'work-life' lounge, this space boasts quiet, private alcoves, open table workspaces, comfortable loungers, and ample seating, perfect for conducting meetings, unwinding with a novel, or socialising with friends and colleagues.

The Emerson Penthouse offers its residents parking for up to four cars, along with designated storage space, a luxury tailored for the most discerning buyers.&nbsp;
