West End's New Landmark Garden Apartments

This project is the latest stage of a major mixed commercial and residential development in central Brisbane, developed by renowned Australian builders Payce and Sekisui House Australia. It will be the fifth residential tower in the community and, once completed, will be the tallest building in the precinct, with 22 storeys and 148 dwellings. Designed during the pandemic, it incorporates many "people-first" concepts.

·      A more thoughtful, human-centred interior layout– every floor plan includes a separate study

·      A lifestyle closer to nature– residents can freely choose their balcony type and select greenery

·      More personalised interior colour schemes– five wallpaper colour schemes to choose from, creating a unique and comfortable personal space

·      More comprehensive shared facilities– the top floor and podium level feature a Japanese garden, swimming pools (one on the rooftop and one on the podium level), a cinema, a function room, a separate studio and more

Feature 1: The largest community project in the inner city

The project covers 2.6 hectares and is currently the largest community development in the inner city. It also forms part of Brisbane's West End upgrade and renewal project, restoring and refurbishing heritage buildings and incorporating them into the community, presenting them in a fresh new form. This not only unlocks their remaining commercial value but also enriches the cultural life of residents. The project will also enjoy a more established community atmosphere and more convenient surrounding amenities. At present, Brisbane's largest first Woolworths flagship store, the hugely popular Harris Farm Markets, BWS, TerryWhite pharmacy, Goodlife 24-hour gym and numerous popular restaurants have already opened. In the future, the community will welcome even more distinctive shops and dining outlets, along with additional convenient facilities.

Factory Lane, Peters Square, Peters Lane and the surrounding public areas offer more than 30 cafés, restaurants and leisure and entertainment options. Whether catching up with family and friends, enjoying a coffee, strolling through the greenery, heading out to a movie at night, or slipping away to a bar for a quiet drink on your own, this project offers you more choices.

Feature 2: High green coverage — living in a city garden

Nearly 40% of the project is dedicated to green space, giving residents the feeling of living within a garden. Lush greenery combines with charming laneways, while the well-arranged commercial and residential areas complement one another yet remain independent. Residents can fully enjoy the vibrant energy of a bustling city, and also find their own "poetry and escape" among the leafy greenery.

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

The project sits within the school catchment of Brisbane State High School, Queensland's number-one ranked public high school, and the primary school catchment of the 99-rated West End State School. It is also just moments from Brisbane's well-known Somerville House girls' school and St Laurence's College boys' school. In addition, the project is surrounded by a variety of higher-education institutions, with the Queensland University of Technology Gardens Point campus, the Griffith University Queensland College of Art and the South Bank TAFE all within walking distance. Public transport from the project also runs directly to the University of Queensland.

Investment Outlook

Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland, Australia, located in the country's north-east, bordered to the north by the Sunshine Coast and to the south by the international tourist destination of the Gold Coast. Brisbane is a rapidly growing city with a population of over 2.15 million, making it Australia's third-largest metropolitan area.

Research by CoreLogic shows that house prices in Brisbane's inner city have grown rapidly over the past decade, with West End leading the way, its median rising from A$493,000 in 2006 to A$1,140,000 today.

With an average house price of more than A$1,000,000, West End in Brisbane's inner city has reached twice Brisbane's overall average house price, clearly demonstrating the pivotal role West End plays in Brisbane's thriving property market. Over the past decade (2009 to 2019), the population of the West End area almost doubled. Australian Bureau of Statistics data indicates that the area will need 16,740 new dwellings over the next 20 years. As the resident population continues to grow, it will be accompanied by more mature and comprehensive infrastructure, which is certain to bring immeasurable capital growth potential to any property you invest in here.

Located in Brisbane's inner-city area, this project is just a short walk from the South Brisbane cultural precinct and only 1.4 km from the Brisbane CBD, with a variety of public transport options available. This is one of Brisbane's fastest-growing areas, and its prime location makes it a preferred destination for living, working and leisure.
