Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

The Gold Coast Planning Committee has supported the preliminary approval for the Benowa Gardens Urban Village project following an extensive community consultation and assessment process.

The proposal will now proceed to a full council vote on June 2.

The application sought approval for a masterplanned urban village on the existing Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre site, combining new housing, retail, dining, health and lifestyle amenities within a walkable, integrated precinct.&nbsp;

The proposed redevelopment includes around 413 apartments integrated above a revitalised mixed-use centre featuring a full-line supermarket of 4,000 sqm, 6,000 sqm of specialty retail and dining space across around 30 retailers, a 7,000 sqm health and wellness precinct, and roughly 9,630 sqm of office and medical suites.&nbsp;

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fb36ae47-80bc-45f0-9914-31b0c7b6007d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C4%201121%20FI.jpg?VersionId=6mRKk2uU4r67TmTt39DKGUlvFRbTVqWa" />

The broader masterplan also includes very significant traffic and transport improvements, wide pedestrian walkways, upgraded pedestrian and cycle connections, and enhanced public areas designed to create a more connected and walkable community environment.&nbsp;

Centre owner Patrick Lu said the milestone reflected months of detailed planning, technical assessment and ongoing communication with local residents, businesses, schools and stakeholders.

“We appreciate the time, consideration and care Council officers and the Planning Committee have given this proposal throughout the assessment process,” Lu said.

“We also sincerely thank the local community for engaging with us, sharing feedback and participating in the consultation process over many months.

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32fd1fc3-d0e6-485f-ac57-9916c9bcb818" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C5%201121%20FI_2.jpg?VersionId=fz8qQKDBLQ7MyFRc856Zccfbh9nFwLOe" />

“We understand projects of this scale bring questions and concerns, which is why we have worked hard to listen carefully, provide information transparently and continue refining elements of the proposal where possible.

“Our vision has always been to create a well-designed, community-focused urban village that responds to the changing needs of the Gold Coast, while delivering improved amenity, housing diversity, healthcare access and local lifestyle benefits.

“This proposal is about creating a genuine live-work-play environment where residents can access everyday services, schools, healthcare, dining, shopping and green space within walking distance, while also supporting local jobs and economic activity.”

Lu said the proposal had evolved significantly through consultation and technical review, particularly around traffic, pedestrian and student safety and neighbourhood connectivity.&nbsp;

Melissa Griffin, Director at Urbis, said the recommendation recognised the strategic importance of delivering more housing and services within established urban areas already supported by infrastructure.

“This proposal represents the type of thoughtful, integrated growth that planning frameworks across South-East Queensland are encouraging,” Ms Griffin said.

“The project seeks to place housing, retail, healthcare and employment opportunities together in a highly accessible location close to schools, transport and existing services.

“Importantly, the process has involved significant technical assessment and community engagement to ensure local issues and feedback were properly considered throughout the planning pathway.”

Surfers Paradise is officially set for its first new residential development with a 45-storey skybridge connecting the two towers.

John Camilleri’s Celestino Developments has been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council to develop its major beachfront precinct across its huge 4,000 sqm oceanfront site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">63–79 Garfield Terrace</a>, just five months after its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-billionaire-winx-breeder-s-bold-two-tower-surfers-paradise-play-with-45th-storey-skybridge">submission in late 2025</a>.

The approved scheme will deliver two towers rising 55 and 48 storeys, connected by a skybridge positioned on level 45 that will house a range of resident-only wellness and entertainment spaces.

In its notice of approval, the Gold Coast City Council said the&nbsp;proposed overall built form has been designed to complement the scale, intensity and protect the adjacent amenity and surrounding streets through the use of varied setbacks, site cover and architectural elements.

<img alt="First look exclusive: Billionaire Winx breeder’s bold two-tower Surfers Paradise play with 45th-storey skybridge" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ADyPJ_TFbJvSU9wZFOiCBnlPtgF7VWqW" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dbi">DBI</a>, the development will comprise 275 apartments across the two towers, including a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences, as well as several penthouses. The apartments will sit above a landscaped podium featuring more than 90 metres of beachfront pool frontage, private resident lawns, lounges, and wellness spaces.

DBI said the design draws heavily from the movement and form of the coastal environment, with curving balcony lines and sculpted façades intended to soften the scale of the towers while maximising ocean outlooks and passive shading outcomes.

“The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience,” DBI said in planning documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council.

The most distinctive element of the approved project is the skybridge linking the two towers at level 45. The elevated communal space is planned to include executive lounges, formal dining areas, wellness facilities, and panoramic ocean-facing outlooks.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI said.

At podium level, residents will have access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a yoga lawn, gymnasium, plunge pools, and treatment spaces. The beachfront pool has been designed with separate lap, lounge, and children’s areas extending across the width of the site.

The project will also introduce new food and beverage offerings along the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages, contributing additional activation to the beachfront precinct.

Brisbane off the plan apartments

Builder-developer GRAYA is continuing its development push in Brisbane's <a href="/developments/new-farm-qld-4005">New Farm</a>.

Having recently completed <a href="/buildings/chalk-by-graya-228-230-moray-street-new-farm">Chalk</a> and currently delivering&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/york-new-farm-299-bowen-terrace-new-farm-qld-4005">York</a>&nbsp;in the popular riverside suburb, <a href="/developers/graya">GRAYA</a> has submitted plans for Ivory New Farm, just four luxury apartments on the Brisbane River.

The 17 Julius Street site spans 688 sqm and has 32-metre frontage to the river. It was bought by the Gray family for $8.5 million in late 2022&nbsp;from developer Tom Dooley, who had approved plans for a luxury four-level home.

It was reported that a home at that scale, on that rare of a site, would be worth around $20 million. A mid-1990s home sits on the block currently.

Ivory New Farm will have three full-floor apartments and an impressive two-level penthouse.

<img alt="Ivory" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4f986697-7948-4fcf-bfef-c45765dc0493" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-12-11%20at%201.47.46%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=XYxPX5iKxTAF2SZTUFVtnOcDgTSPleKU" />Each of the full floor apartments will have three bedrooms, kitchens with butler's pantries, and either a rumpus room or a bar with adjoining wine cellar.

The two-level penthouse has the same floor plan as the apartments on levels two and three, but has its own private rooftop terrace with rumpus room and second kitchen and steam room, a swimming pool, fire pit and lounge area, and stairs leading to a spa.

After years of planning and design revisions, <a href="/developers/henroth-investments-pty-ltd">Henroth Investments</a>’ ambitious vision for Brisbane’s West End has officially been approved.

Led by the Sydney-based Roth family, the project will bring two striking apartment towers to <a href="/new-apartments/281-montague-road-west-end">281-297 Montague Road</a>.

Initially approved for five towers, the project was scaled down to two towers, now accommodating nearly 350 apartments across two 19 and 17-level towers.

<img alt="West End, Brisbane apartment towers to get updated design" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/screen_shot_2022-06-03_at_12.40.00_pm.png?VersionId=DrC02hkpXofq1zcMgC7MmsShSuNkHm.5" />

The approved design, led by architecture firm The <a href="/architects/nra-co-lab">NRA Collaborative</a>, includes a mix of apartment types to cater to diverse residential needs.&nbsp;

The north tower will house 76 two-bed, 95 three-bed, and 12 four-bedroom apartments and penthouses. The south tower will home 30 one-bedders, 73 two-beds, 43 three-bedroom apartments, and 20 four-bedroom apartments and penthouses.

A major element of the design is the incorporation of over 3,382 sqm of green public space and a retail area spanning 1,606 sqm, establishing the project as both a residential and community hub.&nbsp;

Along the Davies Park side of the site, a public amphitheatre with surrounding retail and a sculpture park will create a vibrant community space.&nbsp;The development integrates a distinctive curved, landscaped exoskeletal sunshade, reflecting contemporary architectural trends in bioclimatic design.

<img alt="West End, Brisbane apartment towers to get updated design" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-03_at_12.41.51_pm.png" />

Each tower features rooftop recreation spaces complete with infinity pools, gyms, dining areas, barbecues, and lush landscaping.&nbsp;

Additionally, a covered outdoor terrace on the first level of both towers provides spaces tailored to the working-from-home trend, with study areas and enclosed glass pods designed for private online meetings or podcasting.&nbsp;

The layout emphasises open-air, landscaped corridors, and balconies on every floor, extending the green spaces and creating natural vistas from within the buildings.

<img alt="West End, Brisbane apartment towers to get updated design" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-03_at_12.46.57_pm.png" />

A key feature of the development is its focus on enhanced pedestrian and cycling connectivity. The design provides a direct connection from Vulture Street, one of Brisbane’s main thoroughfares, to the Brisbane River walkway.&nbsp;

This cross-site link, along with the active retail frontage and public plaza, aims to blend the development into the West End community, offering new pedestrian access and open spaces connecting Montague Road to Davies Park, Souths Leagues Club, and the riverfront.

The design response was crafted to benefit both residents and the local community by delivering a subtropical landscaped plaza and active communal spaces.

It's been well documented that the Brisbane unit market has been one of the strongest property markets in Australia in 2024.

Only bettered by Perth, the growth in the unit market in <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> has been the strongest it has been in around four decades, exclusive data from property data analytics company CoreLogic found

You'd have to go <a href="/news/qld/brisbane-units-growing-at-fastest-rate-since-1988">back to the 1980s</a> to find a better year of growth.

The tight supply in both the established and off the plan market has driven the growth in both segments. When there has been new projects launched in 2024, which have been few and far between, the apartments have been snapped up.

While there are several key developments that have been submitted to the Brisbane City Council, and approved, over the course of 2024, it's difficult to know when those large-scale projects will go to market given the complexities in the built environment in South East Queensland.

In this article, we take a closer look at the&nbsp;what, the&nbsp;who, and the&nbsp;where&nbsp;of the best new apartment developments launching in Brisbane in 2025.

<h2>What: Callista on Park</h2>

<h2>Where: 111 Boundary Street, West End QLD 4101</h2>

<h2>Who: Sekisui House Australia</h2>

After nearly a decade of redefining the apartment landscape in <a href="/developments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a>, <a href="/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a> is set to pull the final curtain at its $1.2 billion, multi-award-winning West Village community.

The final tower, <a href="/new-apartments/callista-on-park-west-end-49-mollison-street-west-end">Callista on Park</a>,&nbsp;will have 96 two, three and four-bedroom apartments and a roof terrace with an infinity pool edge, a wellness area, dining areas, and an open-air conservatory, all of which will be surrounded by landscaping and extensive city views.

As part of the development, Dibcorp will be restoring the old hotel which has fallen into disrepair in recent years.

Above the hotel, and new retail and commercial spaces will be 119 two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

To give buyers confidence, Dibcorp has already started construction on site at 100 Leichhardt Street, just down the road from Roma St Parklands and the convenience of Boundary Street that runs through from Brisbane Grammar School to the Howard Smith Wharves.

Milestone Property Group, led by veteran project marketer Jeremy Gilmore, will be handling the sales and marketing.

<h2>&nbsp;What: Two towers, 795 apartments</h2>

<h2>Where: 204 Alice Street, Brisbane</h2>

<h2>Who: Meriton</h2>

Harry Triguboff's apartment giant&nbsp;<a href="/developers/meriton" target="">Meriton</a> will be expected to launch its two-tower <a href="/new-apartments/204-alice-street-brisbane">Alice Street, Brisbane CBD development</a> next year, having secured approval for the&nbsp;$1.3 billion project in October.

There will be just under 800 apartments across the two skyscrapers,&nbsp;designed by their go-to architect in Queensland&nbsp;<a href="/architects/dbi">DBI</a>&nbsp;who has designed Meriton's recent Gold Coast portfolio.

<img alt="First look: Meriton's full plans for first Brisbane apartment development revealed" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%208.44.57%20am.png?VersionId=7Vg2Y5kpSLuqC9s7YnnHzJ5lciB87Bzn" />

The towers will sit on the 5,485 sqm site directly across the road from the City Botanic Gardens from the Alice Street frontage. They will include a childcare centre, retail and food and beverage spaces, and communal open space facilities like swimming pools, an outdoor gym and play space on the level five podium level before it gives way to the main tower structure.

<h2>What: The Bedford by Mosaic</h2>

<h2>Where: 16-30 Prospect Street,&nbsp;Kangaroo Point</h2>

<h2>Who: Mosaic Property Group</h2>

Bulletproof builder-developer, <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group" target="">Mosaic Property Group</a>, has two new projects set to launch in Kangaroo Point.

The most impressive is <a href="/new-apartments/the-bedford-by-mosaic-16-30-prospect-street-kangaroo-point">The Bedford by Mosaic</a>, 128 apartments above a full-line Woolworths on a Prospect Street site that has been vacant for over three decades.

<img alt="Mosaic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c108d7ce-fb95-40d7-bc3c-267d4db5b0f9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-28%20at%2012.03.43%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=kW9khnSPUgM83ssVxwNBzadD.o0VL5os" />

Morris tweaked the plans they inherited from Woolworths' development arm Fabcot, bringing in <a href="/architects/cottee-parker-architects" target="">Cottee Parker</a> to revise the scheme to include more three and four-bedroom apartments.

The building will also have a gym on the podium level, with the majority of facilities, like a 20m pool, wellness space with sauna and ice plunge, golf simulator and kitchen and dining space, located on the rooftop.

<h2>What: 23-level tower, 126 apartments</h2>

<h2>Where: Linton Street, Kangaroo Point</h2>

<h2>Who: Mosaic Property Group</h2>

After The Bedford, Mosaic will no doubt be looking to take advantage of the boom around the Olympics precinct.

They have another site in Kangaroo Point, just one row back from The Gabba at <a href="/new-apartments/77-linton-street-kangaroo-point">77 Linton Street</a>, where they have approved plans for a 23-level, BDA Architecture-designed tower with 126 apartments.

They will be 80 two-bed and 46 three-bedroom apartments in the building that also borders Vulture Street.

<img alt="Linton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bd0d05f1-888d-4119-bbb3-5e98b65cc446" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-28%20at%2012.15.40%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=7CmiFiqe69f4YjxgRe1gfYrrz.5P_igr" />

The level 24 rooftop will have a swimming&nbsp;pool, outdoor theatre area, barbecue areas, and a sauna.

BDA wrote in their planning documentation that the surrounding density of the "exceptional site" suggests it is the perfect location for the proposed development.

"The site’s prime location in close proximity to The Gabba Stadium provides an ideal opportunity to create long and short term accommodation options for sporting and entertainment events," BDA said.

In this article, we take a closer look at the what, the who, and the where of the best new apartment developments launching in Brisbane in 2025.

Brisbane's top five new apartment developments to go to market in 2025

In the penthouse market, buyers expect the highest level of detail in every aspect of the apartment, from the design and orientation to the finishes.

Respected Brisbane developer, <a href="/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties</a>, left no stone unturned when crafting the penthouses atop <a href="/new-apartments/monarch-residences-toowong-600-coronation-drive-toowong">Monarch Residences</a>, one of the best riverfront apartment developments produced on the Brisbane River in decades.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302326]

They knew exactly the clientele they were creating their apartments for, the affluent downsizer.

The Consolidated team recently revealed the final six residences&nbsp;atop the two-tower development, now over 95 per cent sold and under construction by building giant Hutchinson's Builders.

We recently visited the Monarch Residences display suite, on site at&nbsp;at 600 Coronation Drive, <a href="/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a>, to chat with Don and the team at Consolidated about what made the penthouse collection special.

Don says the team worked closely with&nbsp;<a href="/architects/john-wardle-architects">John Wardle Architects</a> and <a href="/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker</a>&nbsp;to create a collection of uncompromised focus on quality, timelessness, and attention to detail.

The final penthouses, created to evoke the same grandeur as a home just without the additional maintenance, range in size from 295 sqm to 347 sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302322]

They each have different floorplans, but the level of luxury is the same throughout, from soaring 3.4-metre-high ceilings to sweeping views of the Brisbane River and the city skyline from the riverfront terraces.

Everything in the penthouses is top-of-the-line. Herringbone European oak flooring features throughout the living areas, while the kitchen, fitted with a suite of&nbsp;premium V-ZUG Swiss appliances, is anchored by an oversized island bench with&nbsp;Dolce Vita quartzite.

Prospective penthouse buyers, as well as those who have been lucky enough to secure a piece of Monarch Residences, will be moving into the riverfront development in late 2025.

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity": Don O'Rorke discusses the Monarch Residences Penthouse Collection

The redevelopment of the landmark Shafston Estate, on over one-hectare of Brisbane River land in <a href="/developments/kangaroo-point-qld-4169">Kangaroo Point</a>, looks to be edging closer.

The plans are back with the Brisbane City Council to increase the density of the project, which was given the green light in early 2023.

Developer Burgundy Group had sought to develop a 15-level tower with 37 apartments designed by Rothelowman in 2022, with approval received in March last year.

The latest submission has come from&nbsp;Verso Development Group, an entity directed by Chinese-born Siwen Pan, who is believed to have taken over the 10,070 sqm site at 23 Castlebar Street.

Verso has brought in&nbsp;Kerry Hills Architects (KHA) to revise the plans for the unrepeatable site that is home to the&nbsp;1851, heritage-listed Shafston House, built by the Reverend Robert Creyke&nbsp;as a single-storey cottage called Ravenscott.

The proposal is for the tower to increase in levels to 25 and the apartments to go from 37 to 51.

<img alt="Shafston" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="55a90156-a5eb-420f-922c-e0bed0a6726e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-20%20at%202.02.43%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=COey.vBpwZE_JIMeVG8cQpsXjIJHMFeq" />

"The Shafston Estate provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore one of Brisbane’s finest heritage precincts and to reinstate residential use as a unique site perched on the edge of Kangaroo Point," KHA noted in its Urban Context Report.

"The project will celebrate excellence in sub-tropical residential design, setting a new benchmark for vertical living in Brisbane."

The submission noted the departure point for the project is to celebrate the heritage elements that exist on the site.

"These elements manifest the layers of post-settlement history in Brisbane, and as part of the project they will be carefully and faithfully restored. They will be reinvigorated with uses that are closely associated with their original purposes as domestic and restorative spaces."

<img alt="Shafston" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="00cd19a0-27fa-47ea-8066-a781aabc893f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-20%20at%202.02.23%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=SOFJU_WZr3RZjbe6zmGFNUOWzkZoOuJD" />

Verso was recommendaed by Urbis to provide an independent design review of the proposed changes to the existing code assessed development approval of the Shafston Estate.

Malcolm Middleton Architects produced the review on the former plans, suggesting they

"The proponent of the site has a vision of this unique property that exceeds the code assessed approval and associated design compliance approach," the review read.

"The amended design seeks to deliver a project that will make a significant contribution to the quality of the city residential standards as well as focal point of architectural expression that will create an urban uplift for the site specifically and the city overall."

As well as the new tower, there would be two riverfront homes, and a guest house in the retain Postal Depot Building.

Further changes to the 2023 approval include a new section of riverwalk along the river frontage of the site as public infrastructure, and a six-berth private marina will be constructed on the river out from the riverwalk, in place of the existing pontoon.

Kangaroo Point's iconic Shafston House gets closer to apartment redevelopment

<a href="/developers/traders-in-purple">Traders in Purple</a> has revealed what it is planning to do with their recently acquired riverfront site in Brisbane's West End.

Traders picked up the <a href="/new-apartments/117-victoria-street-west-end">117 Victoria Street site</a> from Crown Group earlier this year, spending $63.5 million on the 1.25-hectare block which had approved plans for over 440 apartments.

They have called on Rothelowman to completely change the design and density. The project, Rivara West End, will now offer just 132 apartments and 32 river and terrace homes.

<img alt="Traders" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2f65cc4f-3096-435b-9342-9aefb67e6ee6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-08%20at%209.16.30%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wk.r1rfoJwMr91mnvXPNItTi5Cw10Cki" />

Rothelowman noted in the design report said&nbsp;117 Victoria Street is a project about neighbourhood.

"[It's] the&nbsp;creation of a new neighbourhood within the context of an emerging place, a neighbourhood that links the existing vibrancy of West End (one of Brisbane’s oldest villages) back to the Brisbane River. A neighbourhood that balances a series of scales, housing diversity, streets, verges, parks and landscape. A neighbourhood that is aspirational in its desire to offer new ways of living in the subtropics that are focused on a humanist agenda."

<img alt="Traders" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2b6c2011-ba0a-46e5-ad84-3a0bdcd6e1c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-08%20at%209.16.41%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7wwmi.rkrR71o2M8N9roOAQekM7.NkIA" />

They said the site is afforded&nbsp;an amazingly beautiful context and proximity to quintessential Brisbane landmarks, with the&nbsp;surroundings offering a mix of green streets and the timber and tin of Brisbane’s past.

"The design leans into the power of these assets and focuses site arrangements, dwelling orientation, and placement to gain deliberate and framed outlooks to the surrounds.

"The project focuses on the notion of quality over quantity. Built form is arranged to collaborate with the existing and future emerging developments of neighbouring sites providing generous building separation and relief within the broader neighbourhood."

<img alt="Traders" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6c73d7cc-6c3f-4e30-b982-bde29c2ceff1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-08%20at%209.17.30%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=6GAgaJwdN_nEzER7d6OCCepUZcH6YMAB" />

Of the 132 apartments, there will be just two one-bedroom units, 32 two-bedders, and 98 three-bedrooms. 365 parking spaces will be provided, as well as 205 bicycle spaces.

The 32 riverfront and terrace homes offer either three or four bedrooms.

On the site purchase,&nbsp;<a href="/developers/traders-in-purple">Traders in Purple</a>&nbsp;Director George Geagea said the size and location of the&nbsp;<a href="/developments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a>&nbsp;site presented a rare opportunity to create a remarkable lifestyle-focused destination just 4km from the Brisbane CBD.&nbsp;

“This is a spectacular site, one of the largest on the Brisbane riverfront to come to market in recent years,” Geagea said.&nbsp;

<img alt="Traders" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="de27c048-2ca3-4ea4-a1cf-879710a74fb1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-08%20at%209.34.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=MWEROsww.NbY_N_xnorp9QOreyiZSHPi" />

“We have long wanted to make our mark in Brisbane’s inner-city but we were prepared to wait until the right &nbsp;site came along.

“Expansion into the inner-city of Brisbane is a natural growth for Traders In Purple. We have had incredible success on the Moreton Bay Peninsula where we have delivered 12 luxury waterfront projects over the past 15 years.”&nbsp;

Traders' inhouse construction arm will build the new project.

Rothelowman noted in the design report said 117 Victoria Street is a project about neighbourhood.

The Brisbane City Council has granted approval for Meriton's two-tower development in the heart of the city.

The $1.3 billion development at <a href="/new-apartments/204-alice-street-brisbane">204 Alice Street</a>,&nbsp;across from the City Botanic Gardens, will be one of Harry Triguboff's largest projects in <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>&nbsp;having previously delivered several Meriton Suites buildings.

The two towers, one of which will reach 79 levels, will home 753 apartments, predominantly two-bedders (438).

There will be 168 one-bedroom units, each with a study, 119 three-beds, and 28 four-bedroom apartments. Just under 900 parking spaces will occupy five basement levels and four of the podium levels.

<img alt="First look: Meriton's full plans for first Brisbane apartment development revealed" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%208.44.57%20am.png?VersionId=7Vg2Y5kpSLuqC9s7YnnHzJ5lciB87Bzn" />

DBI, the preferred architecture firm for Meriton on the Gold Coast where they have several skyscrapers, said in the submission that&nbsp;the design approach "minimises overshadowing of the Botanic Gardens, aiming to preserve the experience for both residents and the wider public."

"The two-tower development takes cues from the surrounding context including the city’s urban fabric as well as the Botanic Gardens and seeks to complement the adjacent heritage and place character, DBI noted.

"The development is set to become a landmark Brisbane destination and provides a visable presence on the skyline of the city. The tower plates have been carefully shaped to maximise the amenity of future residents and visitors and provide generous balconies offering access to Brisbane’s outdoor lifestyle."

The podium level will be lined with retail, food and beverage spaces, and public amenities such as swimming pools, an outdoor gym, and play areas. An upcoming Public Art Strategy will also introduce integrated artworks.

As part of a broader urban rejuvenation effort in Brisbane, 204 Alice Street is situated near other transformative projects including the Eagle Street Pier Precinct and Queen’s Wharf.

Urban Planning Services noted in a Town Planning Report that the development addresses the increasing demand for housing in South East Queensland by offering high-quality apartments in a prime location.&nbsp;

By introducing both residential and commercial spaces, the project aims to bolster the economic vitality of the City Centre, establishing a renewed pedestrian-friendly precinct with active street frontages and enhanced housing options in Brisbane’s core.

After nearly a decade of transforming West End’s iconic Peter's Ice Cream Factory site into a thriving community known as West Village, <a href="/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a>&nbsp;is soon to unveil the final stage.

Currently building The Allere Collection, Sekisui has re-jigged its plans for the last building of the West End masterplan.

Dubbed Callista on Park, Sekisui had planned a 74-apartment tower with just three and four-bedroom apartments when <a href="/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-sekisuis-plans-for-west-village-final-tower-callista-on-park">Urban first revealed the plans back in late 2022</a>.

But now they're looking to increase the density, and change the mix.&nbsp;

Now proposing 96 apartments in the same building envelope, they're introducing two-bedroom apartments, of which there will be 33. Three-bedroom apartments will still dominate the makeup of the building (48). There will also be 15 four-bedroom apartments.

They said in the planning documentation submitted to Brisbane City Council this week that the shift is aimed at "accommodating a broader demographic in response to the evolving housing and economic landscape."

<img alt="First look exclusive: Sekisui's plans for West Village final tower, Callista on Park" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-05%20at%202.34.40%20pm.png?VersionId=A.uAEmNhV3atxr5hAex_j0IrOQTy87j3" />

Rothelowman, who was in charge of the first plans, has tweaked the designs of the facade of the 15-level building.

"Whilst striving to improve upon the approved design, this minor change proposal maintains the key elements of the approved scheme in regards to car parking, childcare offering, building separation, built form articulation and variation, and building stories," Rothelowman noted in their report submitted to council.

"Apartment mix has been diversified to reflect the current housing market, catering to a wider demographic of end users".

The plans maintain the rooftop garden concept, where residents will enjoy expanded recreational and landscaped spaces, replacing the previously planned recreational amenities on the podium level.&nbsp;

A childcare centre, integrated within the first level of the podium, remains part of the design.

The architectural adjustments to <a href="/new-apartments/callista-on-park-west-end-49-mollison-street-west-end">Callista</a>’s design reflect a modern response to the site’s unique heritage context, the documents suggest.

Drawing on the area’s natural stone palette and utilizing contrasting materials, the new plans add dimension to the northern and southern volumes of the building, balancing the heritage-listed 1928-built Ice Cream Factory.&nbsp;

The refinements to Callista mark the concluding phase of Sekisui’s redevelopment of the iconic Peter's Ice Cream Factory site, which has evolved into a celebrated precinct with over 40 awards for its design and integration of heritage elements into a modern urban village.

Kokoda Property Group's Teneriffe Banks development has secured $285 million in sales before its full launch to the market.

Over half of the residences have already been sold since&nbsp;The Interloom and The Skyform buildings, two of five buildings as part of the $1.5 billion mixed-use development, were revealed.

The Ferry Building and The Store Houses will home more apartments, and the other building will be dedicated to Brisbane's first 5-star Kimpton Hotel.

<a href="/new-apartments/teneriffe-banks-17-27-skyring-terrace-teneriffe">Teneriffe Banks</a>, designed by&nbsp;Studio McCue, <a href="/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker Architects</a> and <a href="/interior-designers/carr-interiors">Carr</a>, will&nbsp;comprise over 200 residences ranging from luxury apartments to modern penthouse residences and grand, wool store-inspired lofts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139896 project_image_fid=295100]

<a href="/developers/kokoda-property">Kokoda Property Group</a>, Founder and Managing Director, Mark Stevens, said the team is&nbsp;proud to set a new benchmark in Brisbane.

"The sales and level of interest in such a short period reinforces our belief that <a href="/developments/teneriffe-qld-4005">Teneriffe</a> is ready for a development of this scale and sophistication, and speaks to the city’s growing demand for luxury and innovation in urban living.&nbsp;

“We are excited to bring our collective vision to life, creating a global destination for people to live, work, play and rejuvenate."&nbsp;

Located on the Brisbane River, The Interloom building connects the urban landscape with the waterfront, featuring up to 404 sqm luxury residences with soaring 3.8-metre ceilings and panoramic views.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139896 project_image_fid=295102]

Perched above the soon-to-be-released Store House Lofts, The Skyform features more spacious apartments that offer up to 334 sqm of luxury living with four-metre ceilings and panoramic views of the Brisbane River and city skyline.

Residents of Teneriffe Banks will enjoy resort-style amenities, with each building including private dining rooms, personal wellness spaces, mineral baths, infinity pools, and exclusive access to the Canopy Club, one of the largest private members’ clubs in Queensland.&nbsp;

To meet demand, the remaining collections are set to hit the market soon, with The Ferry Building to be released next week.&nbsp;

The Ferry Building, a smaller-scale building to Ferry and Skyform, merges Teneriffe’s historic woolstores with contemporary apartment design.

Each Ferry Building home incorporates a large, private courtyard as an extension of the living space, with higher floors offering large terraces to entertain from.&nbsp;

$285 million worth of apartments snapped up at Teneriffe Banks

When Brisbane lawyer Rebecca Stevens and her husband started thinking about downsizing, they weren't too sure where to start.

They knew they wanted to be closer to the city from their family home in Bardon, which was getting too big with their four kids all starting to finish university.

"We wanted city living again," Rebecca said, adding that lifestyle factors, like proximity to the city and walking distance to cafes and restaurants, were two key criteria in their search.

"We started looking around New Farm and other riverside areas, but we couldn't find anything that we really loved within our budget," Rebecca recalled.

The couple also knew they wanted something dog-friendly for their small dog, which is why they initially started their search in the established house market.

It was a visit to West Village, the $1.2 billion West End masterplanned community by Sekisui House Australia, which changed their mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=257536]

Rebecca had in fact suggested her parents move into West Village several years earlier, having&nbsp;spotted a Facebook ad for a French Christmas market being held on the lawns at West Village, and floated the idea of downsizing to her parents.

It wasn't until last year that Rebecca considered West Village as an option for her and her husband when she went to visit her parents.

"We never thought we'd want to live there, but we loved the idea of the lifestyle," Rebecca admitted, but having spent more time in the community, and a well-placed signboard, the couple's interest was piqued.
