Fortis expands Brisbane pipeline with launch of Crest & Walker in Newstead
National diversified developer Fortis has officially launched Crest & Walker, its latest Brisbane apartment development, with construction now underway on the 20-storey Newstead project.
Award-winning builder BINAH has commenced construction on the Bureau^Proberts-designed building, which will deliver a limited collection of 65 two and three-bedroom apartments on Kyabra Street.
The project marks Fortis' fourth active residential development in Brisbane, following River House, which is nearing completion, alongside projects in New Farm and Hamilton as the national developer continues to expand its South East Queensland pipeline.
Fortis General Manager – Development Queensland Dan Boman said Crest & Walker reflects the developer's long-term commitment to delivering design-led residential projects in Brisbane's established inner-city suburbs.
"We're proud to be strengthening our presence in Brisbane with Crest & Walker, particularly in such a sought-after lifestyle destination as Newstead," Boman said.
"Every Fortis project is shaped by its context, and we approach each one with the respect and care it deserves.
"Our focus is always on creating places that feel connected to their neighbourhood and elevate the everyday experience for residents. Newstead continues to evolve as one of Brisbane's most sought-after urban communities, and Crest & Walker reflects our ambition to contribute meaningfully to that story."
Positioned between Gasworks Plaza and James Street, Crest & Walker has been designed as a boutique residential address offering privacy and generous living spaces within one of Brisbane's most established lifestyle precincts.
The building features a contemporary brick podium softened by integrated landscaping, while the upper levels are characterised by restrained architecture and enduring materiality. Interiors have been designed to maximise natural light, acoustic performance and long-term liveability.
Residences comprise spacious two and three-bedroom floorplans, with two-bedroom apartments priced from $1.55 million and three-bedroom, half-floor residences from $3.95 million.
Residents will have access to a wellness-focused rooftop featuring a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, landscaped dining spaces and outdoor lounge areas overlooking Newstead and the Brisbane CBD.
Sales are being managed by Slaite Projects, with Fortis expecting strong demand from owner-occupiers seeking a high-quality, design-focused apartment in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.
Completion of Crest & Walker is slated for late 2028.
