Sherpa opens pre-release for debut Brisbane apartment development, Symphony
Prolific Gold Coast developer Sherpa Property Group is expanding its development footprint into Brisbane with a new, affordability-focused collection of apartments.
The developer, well known for its projects in the Gold Coast’s premium beachside suburbs, last year announced its new Flourish brand. The aim is to provide a wide range of apartments at more affordable price points compared to what was otherwise available in the local market.
Now they’re taking that blueprint to Brisbane. Their debut development, Symphony, is located in the heart of South Brisbane on Cordelia Street, just around the corner from the Fish Lane precinct, the suburb’s main hospitality hub.
There will be 138 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, starting from $655,000. First home buyers will pay no stamp duty on a new home under the QLD Government's new stamp duty concessions, which began in May.
Founder Christie Leet said the move into Brisbane represents “an incredibly exciting step” for the group, with the South Brisbane market offering “huge potential to deliver something different in a market that really needs it.”
He said the project is about “helping more people live where they want to be, without compromise,” adding that Flourish homes are designed to balance quality, functionality, and price accessibility.
Designed by HAL Architects and to be built by LPS Group, Symphony will feature more than 1,400 sqm of communal spaces spread across three levels, aimed at fostering community and wellbeing.
A ground floor café or retail space will activate the streetscape, while the lower rooftop will house workspaces, a gym, and private dining areas. The upper rooftop will deliver resort-style amenities, including a heated pool, cabanas, and a dedicated wellness centre.
Situated at the meeting point of South Bank, West End, and Fish Lane, Symphony places residents in one of Brisbane’s most connected and culturally vibrant neighbourhoods. The site is within walking distance of South Bank’s galleries, theatres, and riverside parklands, as well as Brisbane’s CBD.
Brisbane’s ongoing infrastructure pipeline, including Cross River Rail, Queen’s Wharf, and the Brisbane Metro, is set to further enhance the area’s connectivity ahead of the 2032 Olympic Games, strengthening South Brisbane’s appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors.
Sherpa plans to officially launch Symphony to market in October 2025, with construction due to commence in December 2025 and completion anticipated in Q3 2028.
The launch follows the strong performance of Sherpa’s first Flourish development, Amargo, in Palm Beach, which is 80 per cent sold.
