The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

JWLand’s De Burgh aligns with expanded Homebuyer Scheme, opening doors for first home buyers in Canberra’s Inner North

A subtropical pair of residential towers are in planning for a key South Brisbane site neighbouring the iconic Expo ’88 Skyneedle, with new documents revealing a vertically layered vision designed to respond to the precinct’s evolving high-density character.

The proposal has been lodged by&nbsp;Darveniza Group, which is also is behind the 400-apartment Station Quarter precinct in Alderley.

Darveniza Group, led by Jane Darveniza, the Brisbane-based investor and Queensland rich-lister and widow of the late property magnate Bojan Darveniza, is seeking approval for a mixed-use project encompassing 204 apartments, ground-level retail, food and drink tenancies, and office space across two architecturally integrated towers at 37–39 Manning Street.

Occupying an 1,822 sqm site, the proposed towers would rise above a sculptural podium base, with a recessed landscaped centre, rooftop communal areas, and a total of 220 car parks and 256 bicycle bays. The apartment mix spans one- to five-bedroom dwellings, with a design emphasis on generous balconies, cross-ventilation, and climate-responsive materials.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42c1f501-2afd-440b-af49-67c257123ea7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20podium.png?VersionId=KFlksfWzmDRD.VIYxd_1q3VAel.nN3TH" />

“The development is conceived as two slender twin buildings that meet at a lushly landscaped central recess,” the Finegrain design report states. “The façade is highly articulated with the plan form stepping back and forth to reduce visual bulk and maximise internal occupants’ access to natural light and air”.

A hallmark of the proposal is its integration of greenery, both visually and functionally. Around 77 per cent of the site’s green plot ratio is delivered through vertical planting spines, a green podium wall, and rooftop amenity. Ground-level deep planting and landscaped communal zones aim to create a shaded, walkable interface along Manning Street.

“The stepped plan form introduces variation in balcony setbacks and enclosed apartment areas, enriching both the façade expression and the resident experience,” the design team notes. “At ground and podium levels, this stepping also enhances permeability, maximising pedestrian view lines to the neighbouring Skyneedle and reinforcing a strong sense of local identity”.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3f26dfc-6b93-465c-9ffb-0a2530372a23" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20site.png?VersionId=JflvKdqDxcaHTFbb9HL5TwoiRgeQ2LqA" />

The site directly adjoins the heritage-listed Skyneedle at 35 Manning Street, an enduring legacy of World Expo ’88. The accompanying heritage impact report by Pendergast Architects contends that the proposal has been carefully conceived to protect the cultural significance and landmark visibility of the structure.

“The design provides setbacks, tower separation and podium articulation to maintain the visibility and landmark role of the adjoining Skyneedle,” the report states. “The significance of the Skyneedle lies principally in its landmark visibility and cultural symbolism, rather than in detailed fabric or architectural setting”.

The proposal sits within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct, under Brisbane’s TLPI 02/2023, where revised planning controls support high-density, mixed-use development integrated with subtropical design and increased public realm contributions.

Finegrain’s design reflects this intent, drawing cues from the site's adjacency to Musgrave Park, the subtropical landscape of South Brisbane, and cultural landmarks such as QPAC and South Bank.

Twin green towers proposed for Manning Street, South Brisbane site beside Skyneedle

Spring Hill

Seven years after securing a development site in Brisbane's Spring Hill, national property developer Cbus Property has revealed it's plans for the site.

Cbus Property, who are set to complete their other Brisbane apartment tower 433 Queen Street next year, have proposed a 30-level tower at <a href="/news/qld/cbus-property-propose-sustainable-rothelowman-designed-brisbane-apartment-development">185 Wharf Street, Spring Hill</a>, one of Brisbane's most popular inner-city suburbs.

Rothelowman have designed the striking building which will have 125 apartments. They are targeting a 5 Star Green Star rating for the project, and a Nathers rating of 7.5 Stars. There are a number of sustainable features in the project, which will be 100 per cent electric. There will be EV charging, PV panels, and rainwater harvesting which will help create a more sustainable way of living.

Rothelowman noted in their submission to the Brisbane City Council that 185 Wharf Street embodies the&nbsp;empirical learnings from the rapid evolution of multiple dwelling architecture in SEQ and responds to the market demand from prospective residents for quality, sustainability and the integration of technology.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="459270f1-770d-438b-9759-f103a2363203" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.30.17%20am.png?VersionId=jysmVJ6PhjQz2l7Wh4mIwBStRbpeVqCT" />

"It is proposed that an increasingly global awareness for the importance of environmental and social sustainability is closely aligned with the elevated expectations of people seeking quality higher density housing typologies in Australian urban centres," the report read.

"This enlightened longer-term focus is considered necessary to successfully respond to the increasing urbanisation of our cities and at the same time capture the opportunity to positively enhance urban living environments.

"The realisation of these core objectives will assist in promoting physical and mental wellness of individuals, create a meaningful sense of community and serve to leverage the utility of existing infrastructure to control the urban footprint."

Cbus Property are committed to the owner-occupier market, with not a single one-bed apartment on offer. They've pitched for 60 two-bedroom units, 45 three-bedroom apartments, and 20 four-bedders. There will be 233 resident parking spaces across the four basement levels of parking, and 32 bicycle spaces.&nbsp;

The apartments hav been designed to&nbsp;have a large balcony that is well connected to the living space.

"The tower has a front yard and backyard conceptual overlay which allows each unit to feel like a bespoke home," Rothelowman's report continued.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a356ac40-eaba-411c-9445-a9f1112bc4bd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.33.19%20am.png?VersionId=ufSv.aeNQz8tcmJx0yfZ4S1t0k6md4c9" />

"The balconies align up the tower as the mix changes to ensure architectural integrity is maintained."

There are a number of sky terraces which occupy the top of the southern tower form. They feature expansive backyards with trees and private pools.

The resident amenity will be located on the second level and is designed as a "natural Queensland escape". Dubbed "The Conservatory", residents will have access to a jungle gym, lap pool, kids play baths, magnesium baths, a sunbathing area, numerous alfresco areas, a gym with sauna, and a private dining room.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="87e6e42b-e7d9-4b7f-957f-1ff850c05828" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.32.56%20am.png?VersionId=8y_efCWg.419TbnXuH5mXqYFU4KGyWVF" />

"The resident recreation amenity is considered an extension of the new subtropical Queensland apartment and offers prospective residents a sophisticated level of luxury only previously found in the single detached dwelling," Rothelowman added.

"185 Wharf Street will establish the Spring Hill Neighbourhood precinct as a re-imagined subtropical inner-city residential enclave at the doorstep of Australia’s New World City – Brisbane."

Cbus secured the 1,835 sqm site in 2015, paying $14.6 million for the block. At the time it had approval for 141 apartments across 15 levels.&nbsp;

Cbus Property propose sustainable, Rothelowman-designed Brisbane apartment development

Local Brisbane property developers, Grace Civil and Development, has lodged plans for a 25-level residential tower in Brisbane&rsquo;s Spring Hill.

A two-storey office building at 157-163&nbsp;Leichhardt&nbsp;Street, a 1447 sqm site, will make way for the project, which will have a three-level basement, three-level podium,&nbsp;112 apartments,&nbsp;and a rooftop terrace.

There will be a mix of&nbsp;16 one-bedroom, 84 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom apartments in the tower, which will be made up of stonewall features, rendered masonry and glass balustrades. Aluminium screening will be in place for privacy and amenity on the eastern and western facades of the tower. &nbsp;Levels four to 19 will provide six apartments each, with levels 20 to 23 providing four larger apartments.

The rooftop terrace features a communal open space area with a pool, spa, tables and seating, yoga lawn and barbecues, all in a densely landscaped setting with engineered planting by Taylors Urban Development.

The three basement levels and two of the podium levels will have up to 146 car parking spaces and 10 motorbike spaces, in addition to bicycle parking.&nbsp;

Level three&nbsp;of the podium also provides further building amenity, including a gym and medical room.

The arcade walkway is a primary feature of the development, comprising dense landscaping elements to create an outdoor, suburban like pathway setting, as well as pedestrian access from Leichhardt Street. The arcade walkway also provides access to the foyer of the upper level residences of the site.

According to planning documents, the residential tower will be the tallest built form on the block, at the maximum height allowable in the Spring Hill Neighbourhood Plan.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The proposed development presents a high-quality architecturally designed high-rise development that presents a significant improvement to the streetscape in place of the current building onsite,&rdquo; the assessment report said.

&ldquo;It&nbsp;is sympathetic to surrounding development and delivers an ideal outcome for inner-city apartment living within the Brisbane CBD.&rdquo;

The development lies within proximity to a range of transport links, including three bus stops all within 150 metres and Roma Train Station 700 metres from the site.

There were two pre-lodgement meetings held with the local council before the application submission.

157-163 Leichardt Street comprises a three-level basement, three-level podium at street level, along with 112 apartments and a rooftop terrace.

A tenanted strata office in Spring Hill, Brisbane has been snapped up by a private Sydney based investor for $5 million.
The sale of 170 Leichhardt Street makes it the biggest settled strata transaction so far this year in the Queensland capital. 
The 1,374 square metre office space on level two is tenanted by Imagine Education Australia for a seven-year term with a three-year option.
The offering also includes 22 square metre balcony area and nine car parks.
It was marketed via an expression of interest campaign by Sam Biggins and Tony Wang from Colliers International.
“This was the first commercial property acquisition for the high net worth Sydney-based investor who works in the finance sector,” said Biggins.  
“With current record low interest rates and decreasing vacancy rates in the Brisbane office sector, we are continuing to see interstate investors looking to Brisbane, attracted by the yield differential and growth prospects over the southern markets.”
Colliers International has transacted eight strata offices so far this year across the CBD and metro Brisbane.
The properties range from $500,000 to $5 million, averaging at $3,851 per square metre and an average yield of 7.88%.  
“Long term investors are backing the strata market, but sales to owner occupiers are also on the rise as the leasing market continues to improve in combination with record low interest rates,” said Wang.
“Strata office sales within the golden triangle precinct have performed very well. Within 97 Creek Street Colliers International’s Strata team have sold four offices so far this year ranging from 63 square metres up to a full floor of 638 square metres. One of the office investments had achieved a record 6.2% yield.”

Avondale, Spring Hill historical trophy home listed for sale

Global real estate investment manager Cromwell Funds Management has purchased 433 Boundary Street in Spring Hill.
It provides unitholders of the Cromwell Direct Property Fund (DPF) exposure to the booming higher education market in Brisbane.
The major tenant, International Education Services (IES), works in partnership with organisations such as the University of Queensland to offer educational services for international students and education professionals.   Acquired for $42 million with a 6.7 per cent yield, the refurbished 6,000sqm building is fully leased.
It comes with a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of approximately 12 years.    Hamish Wehl, Head of Retail Funds Management at Cromwell, said the Boundary Street investment was set to be a compelling addition to the DPF portfolio.   “The education sector is growing substantially and is Australia’s third largest export behind iron ore and coal.  
"IES, as a global leader in education services, is well positioned to benefit from the influx of international students coming to Australia,” Mr Wehl said. “With the Brisbane City Council’s clear agenda to continually attract more students to the city, combined with their vision to rejuvenate the Spring Hill precinct, Boundary Street will add long-term value and diversification to the Fund.”
