West End Large Garden Community Apartments

Feature 1: Inner-city community development

The development covers 2.6 hectares. It also forms part of the West End regeneration project in Brisbane, restoring historic buildings and integrating them into the community so they are presented to the public in a fresh new form — not only unlocking their remaining commercial value but also enriching residents' cultural life. As a new-generation mixed-use community, the development offers vibrant dining, trendy shopping and entertainment venues. Once complete, it will feature a 14,000 m² retail centre (including a 4,000 m² Woolworths flagship store), a 1,500 m² Goodlife gym, a childcare centre and children's playground, as well as a medical centre and pharmacy.

Factory Lane, Peters Square, Peters Lane and the public spaces are home to more than 30 great cafés, restaurants and leisure and entertainment spots. Whether you're catching up with family and friends, grabbing a coffee, strolling through the greenery, heading out to see a film in the evening or enjoying a quiet drink at the bar on your own, this development offers you more choice. Also worth noting is the Metro Arts Plaza cultural and arts centre, opening in September, which brings together galleries, an intimate theatre and performance spaces where residents can enjoy a romantic encounter with the arts.

Feature 2: Extensive greenery — living in a city garden

Almost 40% of the development is dedicated to green space, making residents feel as though they are living within a garden. Lush greenery combines with laneways you won't want to leave, while the well-arranged commercial and residential areas complement one another yet remain independent. Residents can fully enjoy the buzz of a thriving city while also savouring the "poetry of faraway places" amid the leafy greenery.

Feature 3: Located in a premium school catchment with abundant education resources

The development sits within the Brisbane State High School catchment, and the primary school catchment is West End State School, which scores 99. It is also just a stone's throw from Brisbane's renowned Somerville House girls' school and St Laurence's College boys' school. In addition, the development is surrounded by a range of tertiary institutions — the Queensland University of Technology Gardens Point campus, the Griffith University Queensland College of Art and South Bank TAFE are all within walking distance, and buses run directly from the development to the University of Queensland.

Feature 4: High-quality finishes

The second stage of the development comprises two buildings, the South Tower and the North Tower. The North Tower is move-in ready (completed) and consists mainly of larger floor plans; the South Tower is due for handover in late 2021 and is predominantly two-bedroom floor plans.

Compared with Stage 1, the interior finishes throughout Stage 2 have been comprehensively upgraded, featuring imported European kitchen appliances and ducted air conditioning.

Feature 5: World-renowned developers — a multi-award-winning project

This large-scale mixed-use development is the result of a powerful partnership between acclaimed Australian developers Payce and Sekisui House Australia, whose combined effort has brought it to life. It is four times the size of Payce's East Village at Zetland (a major development precinct in inner Sydney). The design team drew inspiration from many of the world's most captivating cities, including New York, Copenhagen and Barcelona, to create this landmark cluster of buildings.

Thanks to its people-focused design philosophy, generous greenery and comprehensive amenities, the development won multiple major awards in 2019.
