Alderley set for 400-apartment Station Quarter development opposite train station
Brisbane’s suburban renewal continues to gain momentum with a transformative vision for Alderley, where Darveniza Group is planning to convert an industrial site into a vibrant residential community.
The new project, to be known as Station Quarter on Farrington Street, will put residents adjacent to Alderley train station. The 17,167 sqm masterplan by Nettletontribe will have seven low to mid-rise apartment buildings, ranging between four and 10 levels, and have around 400 new apartments.
Darveniza Group is led by Queensland richlister Jane Darveniza, the widow of millionaire property developer Bojan Darveniza.
The precinct will be anchored by a central 1,750 sqm communal open walkway with extensive retail spaces.
The Farrington Street address, opposite Alderley Station with street frontage to Huddart Street, is surrounded by established amenities, including schools, parks, and shops, with direct access to major arterial roads and the Ferny Grove train line.
The masterplan aims to offer diverse housing options to cater to a wide range of residents, including affordable choices that address Brisbane’s growing housing demand.The first stage will comprise two buildings, one with 34 units across a four-level block, the smallest in the development, and 66 units in an eight-level building.
The 100 apartments in this initial phase will range from one to three bedrooms, with a 102 sqm ground-floor space for a café.
The Town Planning Report by Urbis suggested Station Quarter is a "catalyst for Alderley and its evolution as a growth node."
"Station Quarter is set to redefine urban living in Alderley, by transitioning from low impact industry to a dynamic, low-medium density residential community," the report noted.
"Station Quarter is more than just a residential project; it is a commitment to sustainable urban development. By replacing industrial land uses with residential, the project not only meets the immedaite housing needs but also fosters a thriving, connected community within Brisbane's inner 5km radius."
Alderley isn't a suburb often associated with new apartment development. The last time a new project launched was nearly 12 months ago.
Breathe Residences, by joint venture partners Capital Prudential and the architecturally-driven property developer Guavalime, will be just across 800m from Station Quarter.
