Bottega House secures landmark riverfront site in St Lucia
Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.
Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the premium site at 180 Macquarie Street features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.
The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by Plus Studio with interiors by Mim Design and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.
The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.
Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan & Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.
Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.
“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.
“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."
Malloch says there is a lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.
"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."
