The sales rush has been led by owner-occupiers, including young professionals and downsizers, many of whom live within a 10-kilometre radius, with interstate purchasers looking to relocate or invest in the Sunshine State also accounting for about 10 per cent of sales.

More than 1,000 jobs will be created during construction of the $149 million, 21 storey building, which will feature 150 apartments and a suite of resort-style amenities, including a spectacular roof-top infinity-edge pool with expansive views across the Brisbane River to the CBD.

Developer Brookfield Residential Properties has appointed builder Tomkins Commercial and Industrial Builders – who have delivered more than 300 projects across the residential, commercial, industrial and education sectors – to construct the mixed-use development, with completion anticipated for late 2023.

Rivello is the latest stage of Brookfield’s activities in the Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area (PDA), situated just six kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, and the ninth building by Brookfield Residential Properties in the Portside residential and lifestyle precinct.

Brookfield Residential Properties Managing Director, Lee Butterworth, said the outstanding sales result had seen construction start on Rivello several months ahead of schedule.

“The response to Rivello has been exceptional, with sales including an ultra-opulent penthouse for more than $5.5 million, two sub-penthouses for more than $2.9 million each and the majority of our three bedroom apartments, which average $1.5 million..

“Those sales are a vote of confidence from the top end of the market in Rivello and we’ve seen an equal level of enthusiasm from purchasers across our one and two bedroom apartments, with only a handful of floorplans now remaining, with river, park or local views still on offer.

“We are looking forward to moving into the next phase of Rivello, by bringing our vision to life. To be able to accelerate the start of construction is a fantastic result, not just for our purchasers but the 1,000 workers who will be employed in constructing this exciting project.”

Mr Butterworth said the start of work on Rivello was also a significant milestone for the broader Northshore Hamilton precinct, where Brookfield Residential Properties had been developing since 2006.

“We’ve been part of the major transformation of Northshore for over 15 years, delivering the Portside Wharf dining, shopping and entertainment precinct as well as more than 850 riverside apartments, and look forward to continuing to be part of the area’s evolution for many years to come.”

Economic Development Queensland General Manager Debbie McNamara said the project marks another milestone in Northshore’s transformation.

“I am proud of Economic Development Queensland’s continued investment in infrastructure to revitalise the Northshore Hamilton PDA, which paves the way for projects like Rivello,” she said.

“Rivello will be yet another reason for people to enjoy Northshore, which is home to Portside Wharf, Eat Street Northshore, Alcyone Hotel, and some of Brisbane’s best riverfront living.”

Mr Butterworth said Northshore Hamilton continued to be in high demand due to its premium, riverfront location.

“There are very few opportunities to purchase a new apartment on the Brisbane River, particularly within six kilometres of the Brisbane CBD, which makes Northshore a highly sought-after locale,” he said.

“Northshore is a popular lifestyle choice because of the extensive mix of dining, shopping and entertainment in the precinct and the ease of access via CityCat or road to an array of destinations. The feedback from buyers at Rivello is that these factors certainly underpinned their decision to secure an apartment.”

A limited number of apartments remain at Rivello, priced from $605,000. For further information, visit the Rivello Sales and Display Suite at 15 Wharf Street, Northshore Hamilton, open by appointment, www.rivello.com.au or contact 1300 803 895.

Construction is anticipated to commence on the 21-storey building, located in the Portside residential and lifestyle precinct in Hamilton, in late October, with completion anticipated for late 2023.

Rivello is the ninth building to be developed at Portside by Brookfield Residential Properties, which has already delivered more than 850 luxury riverside apartments in the sought-after precinct.

More than 80 per cent of the 150 one, two and three bedroom apartments, sub-penthouses and penthouses in Rivello have sold off-the-plan since the project was officially released in early August.

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director, Lee Butterworth, said the building program had been brought forward on the back of Rivello’s strong sales debut.

“We reached the 80 per cent sales mark within weeks of launch, which has prompted us to accelerate the start of construction,” he said.

“It is a significant achievement to reach this sales milestone so quickly and is a credit to the lifestyle-centred design and desirable Brisbane River position, together with the exceptional demand in the market.

We are looking forward to working with the highly-respected Tomkins team to bring Rivello to life.”

“As a family-owned and operated construction company that has been in the industry for nearly 70 years, Tomkins has an enviable track-record and shares our vision of delivering a new landmark building in Hamilton.”

Tomkins General Manager Julian French said the team was excited to commence on site soon.

“We’re delighted to be working with Brookfield Residential Properties to deliver this prestigious development,” he said.

“Tomkins has delivered more than 300 projects across the residential, commercial, industrial and education sectors, and we’re proud to be able to add Rivello to this extensive portfolio of work.

“Rivello matches sophisticated architecture with a prominent blue-chip location and we look forward to delivering a building that buyers will be proud to call home.”

Located directly on the Brisbane River at Hamilton, just six kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, Rivello will offer a suite of resort-style amenities for residents, including a spectacular roof-top infinity-edge pool with expansive views across the Brisbane River to the CBD.

Residents will also enjoy a private dining room with kitchen and bar, a residents’ lounge, wine cellar, business centre, outdoor gardens and barbeque areas.

Rivello’s apartments average a spacious 120sqm and have been well received by owner-occupiers from the surrounding area, with the majority of purchasers to date living within a 10 kilometre radius of Portside and many upgrading within the community.

Mr Butterworth said there had also been interest from buyers from around Australia, including New South Wales and Victoria, either looking to move to Queensland in the future or to invest in the thriving Brisbane market.

“The absolute riverfront location, array of restaurants, cafes, shops and the cinema, and the connectivity to the Brisbane CBD and Brisbane Airport is impossible to match and appeals to a broad range of purchasers,” he said.

“Rivello is designed with lifestyle at the forefront, featuring a high-level of amenity within the building that complements all that is on offer in the precinct.

“The generous apartments are designed to maximise views and natural light through an open plan design, floor to ceiling glass and expansive balconies, so residents can relax and enjoy the picturesque location.”

Remaining apartments start from $605,000, with the final two sub-penthouses – each featuring an expansive floorplan and panoramic views – from $2.093 million.

The Rivello Sales and Display Suite, showcasing a full-size kitchen and bathroom display, is located at 15 Wharf St, Hamilton, and is now open by appointment.

The post Brookfield announces builder for Rivello Hamilton, Brisbane appeared first on Brookfield Residential.

The developer has unveiled plans for the 21 storey building, which will feature commanding views of the Brisbane River and city.  It will occupy a site boasting 50 metres of absolute river frontage within the $1.3 billion Portside residential and lifestyle precinct in Hamilton, just six kilometres from the Brisbane CBD.

Brookfield Residential Properties is now taking registrations of interest for Rivello’s 150 one, two and three bedroom apartments, sub-penthouses and two ultra-opulent crowning penthouses

Fit-out is underway on the Rivello Sales and Display Centre, which will showcase a full-size kitchen and bathroom display and is due to open in the coming weeks.

A new report by property analyst Urbis found off-the-plan apartment sales in the Hamilton Northshore precinct had increased 29 per cent from 2019 to 2020, with an extremely low level of supply and limited future supply coming to the market.

The report found owner-occupiers taking advantage of the proximity to the river and key lifestyle amenity accounted for the majority of purchasers last year. It also revealed that apartments in Hamilton have enjoyed sustained long-term growth, with a median price increase of 5 per cent per annum over the last 20 years.

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director, Lee Butterworth, said the developer had been working to bring Rivello to the market as soon as possible to meet the high demand for quality waterfront property in Brisbane.

“There is strong interest in premium apartments with an emphasis on lifestyle, and Rivello certainly delivers,” he said.

“Buyers understand that opportunities to secure an absolute riverfront location that can never be built out are finite, with very few new riverfront developments approved elsewhere in Brisbane.

“Rivello will be the last project of its kind this close to the river in Northshore Hamilton, as future projects require a greater setback, making it a rarity in this highly desirable blue-chip location.”

Located at Portside, alongside Brookfield Residential Properties’ most recent additions to the precinct – Gallery House One and Two – Rivello will feature an urban sub-tropical character to complement its riverfront address.

The apartments will average a spacious 110sqm and range up to 562sqm, featuring high quality fittings and finishes.

“Since COVID-19, people have been spending more time than ever in their home and are looking for generous spaces to entertain, work, or simply sit back and enjoy the view – this has been considered throughout the luxurious and liveable design of the apartments and exclusive resident amenities,” said Mr Butterworth.

“Like our previous stages, we’re expecting strong interest from Gen Y purchasers through to downsizers already living within a 10 kilometre radius, however, as is being reflected across Queensland, we’re also already receiving enquiry from interstate buyers.”

Rivello will feature significant on-site amenity for residents to enjoy, including exclusive resort-style sanctuaries for entertaining and relaxation, with an infinity-edge pool boasting views across the Brisbane River to the CBD, a private function room with kitchen and bar for intimate gatherings, a residents’ lounge, wine cellar, boardroom, outdoor gardens and barbeque areas.

“The majority of apartments will boast river views and all will benefit from the high level of on-site amenity, designed so residents have numerous spaces to relax and unwind, take in the views and catch-up with family and friends,” said Mr Butterworth.

“On a broader scale, the Portside precinct has been meticulously planned so residents can enjoy the peace and privacy of their own residential sanctuary or engage in the vibrant lifestyle at their doorstep, including some of Brisbane’s best restaurants and cafes, boutiques, a cinema and supermarket.

“When it is time to head to the office, the city is easily accessible via City Cat, bus or car, research has shown the $650 million upgrade of Kingsford Smith Drive has reduced travel times by 30 per cent making commuting easier than ever. Brisbane Airport is also close by.

“All these factors will make Rivello the northside’s premier lifestyle destination.”

Located within the Portside East precinct, the new building will be the ninth developed at Portside by Brookfield Residential Properties, which has already delivered over 850 luxury riverside apartments within the vibrant dining and shopping precinct.

The 19 level building will enjoy 50 metres of absolute Brisbane riverfront, the last of its kind in Northshore Hamilton, with all future riverfront developments required to have a greater setback from the river.

The development will feature 150 one, two, three and four bedroom apartments, sub-penthouses and two ultra-opulent penthouses, with commanding 270 degree views.

The building will showcase exclusive resort-style sanctuaries for the ultimate in entertaining and relaxation, boasting an infinity-edge pool with views across the Brisbane River to the CBD, a private function room with kitchen and bar for more intimate gatherings, a resident’s lounge, wine cellar and boardroom. Residents can also unwind in the outdoor gardens, which include barbeque areas, outdoor seating and lush landscaping.

The new building will be developed on a 2,829sqm site, neighbouring Brookfield Residential Properties’ most recent residential projects – Gallery House One and Two, which together have achieved more than $238 million in sales since launch.

Brookfield Residential Properties managing director, Lee Butterworth, said the developer was confident in the strength of the Brisbane market and was working toward launching the new apartments later this year.

“The opportunities to secure an absolute riverfront apartment that can never be built-out, in a sought-after, blue-chip location such as this, are few and far between,” he said.

“When you couple that with the unrivalled lifestyle on offer at Portside, this new building will be a true stand-out and, as a result, we are confident it will be met with significant interest.

“It will feature an urban sub-tropical character that embraces and celebrates the riverfront address, with a suite of luxurious amenities for residents to enjoy as they take in the stunning location.

“As part of a meticulously designed precinct with liveability and connectivity at its core, residents will also have access to dining, shopping and entertainment, quite literally at the doorstep, with all the city centre has to offer in easy reach.

“Now we officially have the green light from the planning authority, we are looking forward to moving ahead with our plans, including making preparations for construction, to deliver the high-quality finish our buyers have come to expect.”

Mr Butterworth said most apartments in the new building would boast river views, with a diverse mix of floorplans available to suit purchasers in varying stages of life.

“Traditionally, our buyers have predominately come from within a 10 kilometre radius of Portside, although we have also attracted those from across Australia, and we expect our latest stage to follow in those footsteps,” he said.

“Buyers recognise Portside is the north side’s premier lifestyle destination, just six kilometres from Brisbane CBD and easily accessible via a short stroll along the boardwalk to the City Cat, by bus or major arterial roads, including the recently upgraded Kingsford Smith Drive, with Brisbane’s airports also close by.

“We expect it will draw significant interest from empty-nesters looking to right-size in a premium lifestyle location right through to young professionals who want a home that delivers the perfect work-life balance.”

Portside is the first stage of one of Brisbane’s largest urban renewal projects, the $5 billion Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area, which on completion will extend approximately 2.5 kilometres along the Brisbane River to the Gateway Bridge and occupy a total of 304 hectares.

Northshore Hamilton’s range of amenities complement Portside Wharf, with the recently completed $10 million Hamilton Recreation Reserve conveniently located close by, featuring extensive green space, a children’s playground, amphitheatre, picnic areas, a dog park and water play facilities.

“As the original and most active developer in the Northshore Hamilton precinct, Brookfield Residential Properties has a proud track record of delivering high quality and highly sought-after apartments that have played a significant role in spurring urban regeneration in this area,” said Mr Butterworth.

Now, Mr Makepeace is just months from moving “home” as his new apartment at Brookfield Residential Properties’ Gallery House nears completion and prepares to call for settlements.

He said he found the perfect balance of location and connectedness at the luxury residential project in Hamilton, where he purchased a two bedroom apartment from the ‘River Collection’.

“After 10 years abroad, I’m moving home to be closer to family and wanted to live somewhere that provided me with something I’ve been missing for a while now – a sense of community,” he said.

“The location of Gallery House next to Portside Wharf, and the building’s well-designed communal areas, makes it feel more like a neighbourhood than an apartment development.

“That sense of connectedness is something other projects I looked at just didn’t have.”

Mr Makepeace said being able to see Northshore Hamilton’s master plan confirmed he was buying somewhere that had taken future growth into consideration.

“So much development is done on the fly, so to be able to see the plans – not just for Brookfield’s parcel of land, but for the whole of Northshore Hamilton – was a real drawcard for me,” he said.

“The community has been well thought-out and I can see where future amenity and infrastructure will be added.”

Gallery House occupies an absolute riverfront parcel in the $5 billion Northshore Hamilton precinct – a 304 hectare development that is the largest waterfront urban renewal project in Queensland.

Brookfield Residential Properties is the most active developer in Northshore Hamilton, having already delivered six apartment buildings as part of its neighbouring Portside Wharf retail and residential community.

Gallery House is its latest project and its most luxurious to date, comprising two buildings, both of which are under construction, on absolute riverfront land. It features 315 premium apartments and penthouses with resident-only facilities, including a rooftop sanctuary with infinity pool, lounge and barbeque areas and a podium level garden.

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director Lee Butterworth said his company’s transformation of what was unused State land was the catalyst for the Northshore Hamilton redevelopment.

He said the Northshore Hamilton masterplan had been meticulously designed to create a community that offered some of the best living opportunities in Queensland.

“Northshore Hamilton will eventually be home to some 20,000 residents so we ensured the design for our six-hectare parcel focused on creating a community that had easy access to infrastructure and amenity, now and into the future,” he said.

“The centrepiece of our master plan – the retail and residential precinct, Portside Wharf – was created with liveability in mind, while our individual buildings focus on delivering luxury living opportunities that encourage community and connection through exceptionally designed apartments and shared spaces.

“We don’t just want to construct apartment buildings; we want to create communities that people want to be part of.

“We feel we’ve achieved that at Portside Wharf and are replicating it, on a more luxurious scale, at Gallery House.”

Sales in Gallery House have reached more than $215 million.

Settlements are anticipated to be called for Gallery House One in late August, with 90 per cent of apartments now sold.

Gallery House Two is earmarked for completion late this year and has just 28 apartments remaining for sale.

The $271 million luxury apartment project occupies a prime riverfront position that offers uninterrupted views of the Brisbane River and city skyline, to the mountains beyond.

Located just six kilometres from the CBD, it has easy access to the CityCat, major arterial roads and motorways, key employment hubs and the Brisbane Airport; and direct access to the shops and restaurants of Portside Wharf.

Gallery House One has 16 apartments remaining, all of which have river views, priced from $915,000.

Gallery House Two has apartments ranging from $665,000 to $2.295 million, including a limited number of penthouses.

The post ‘Sense of community’ a selling point appeared first on Brookfield Residential.

Andrew and Collette Mitrega undertook significant research before deciding to purchase the four-bedroom penthouse with stunning river and city views.

“We visited just about, if not every, new-build apartment project in Brisbane before purchasing at Gallery House,” said Mr Mitrega.

“It was all about the location and the opportunity of being able to see the city skyline, but not having to live in the CBD – it felt like the right choice to us.

“We did extensive due diligence, reviewing and researching all Brisbane developers, which gave us the confidence we needed to purchase an apartment developed by Brookfield Residential Properties’ and built by Multiplex.”

The 216sqm, four-bedroom penthouse features natural stone tiles, a spacious butler’s pantry, wine cabinet, freestanding bath, Miele appliances and amazing river and city views.

Mr Mitrega said the Gallery House penthouse gave them everything they needed in terms of space, location and amenity.

“Our new penthouse provides us with several bedrooms and one of the biggest balconies we have ever seen, so friends and family can be accommodated when they visit,” he said.

“When we decided to transition to apartment living, we thought ‘let’s make it easy and surround ourselves with convenience’.

“From Gallery House, in just two minutes we could be watching a movie, eating at numerous restaurants, enjoying Eat Street Markets or picking up a bottle of wine.

“Then there’s the added convenience of no maintenance. I’m looking forward to disposing of my lawnmower, ladder and pool vacuum, and having the luxury of locking the door and going away for several weeks without the worry.”

Mr Mitrega said an unexpected bonus of Gallery House was the neighbourhood feel.

“We have already met and spoken with several of our prospective neighbours and they all want to be part of a social network within the project.” he said.

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director Lee Butterworth said while all penthouses in the first building were sold, some remained in Gallery House Two for those looking for the ultimate in luxury living.

“Gallery House will become an address synonymous with style and luxury and its residents will enjoy an enviable riverfront lifestyle with everything at their fingertips,” he said.

“Our buyers have been predominately locals looking for waterfront property without the maintenance, who know the benefits of living in this location with its direct access to retail, restaurants, recreation and green spaces.

“The three and four-bedroom apartments and penthouses in Gallery House are bigger than many homes, so buyers don’t feel like they are compromising on space.

“Instead, they are upgrading to a brand new apartment with all the modern luxuries and lifestyle amenities at their doorstep.”

Sales in Gallery House have reached $224 million and construction is just weeks from completion on the first building.

Gallery House Two is also under construction with completion anticipated for the end of this year (2019).

The first onsite displays will open at Gallery House mid August, showcasing views of the Brisbane River and across the city skyline.

Gallery House is located six kilometres from the CBD with easy access to the CityCat, airports and major arterial roads.

Gallery House has a mix of two and three bedroom apartments, ‘sky homes’ and penthouses for sale ranging from $575,000 to $2.795 million.

“We wanted to downsize but we also wanted to make sure we had plenty of room for our kids and grandkids,” Mrs Silec said. “It’s nice that we’ll have plenty of extra space for guests and with the rooftop pool and barbecue area, it means we’ll still be able to do all the activities we enjoyed in our old house.”

Builder Multiplex expects residents will start moving into the 20-storey building before Christmas. Sales in Gallery House have reached $197 million, with the first building almost 90 per cent sold, and building two reaching over 75 per cent sold.

Brookfield Residential Properties managing director Lee Butterworth said he expected sales to spike. “With the bulk of construction on the first building complete, buyers can really see the quality of Gallery House, giving them the confidence to purchase and start planning their move,” he said.

“The building’s curved facade sets it apart from Brisbane’s angular high-rises and that unique shape is now evident, giving buyers a real sense of what we’re creating.”

For decades the Scrogings have bought properties to fit their family, however, as their priorities shifted and apartment-living beckoned, it took several years to find ‘the one’.

“When we discovered Gallery House, we were sold – we bought this one with our heart,” said Mr Scrogings.

“We have bought and sold so many homes over the years and always compromised on something.

“Purchasing our Gallery House apartment was really the first time we felt like ‘this is where we want to live’.

“Owning a real estate agency, I know that if it’s somewhere we really want to live, other people will also want to live here, so for us it’s a safe bet.”

The Clayfield residents will relocate to the Hamilton-based Gallery House once construction is complete on the first tower later in 2019.

With two of their three children no longer living at home, the couple wanted to transition to apartment-living and take advantage of the maintenance-free lifestyle.  They purchased a luxury three-bedroom plus multipurpose room ‘Sky Home’ in the 20-storey Gallery House Tower One.

“Ken and I had a list of things we wanted for ourselves in an apartment, and we also wanted somewhere that could double as a ‘family home’ when our kids come to stay,” said Mrs Scrogings.

“Above all, we wanted top quality finishes. We are fussy – we have a beautiful home in Clayfield so we wanted to buy something that was nicer than what we have – we just couldn’t find that in other projects.

“The finishes at Gallery House really won us over.”

Mrs Scrogings said the finishes were matched by the views.

“The views from our Sky Home are the kind you get when you’re on holiday,” she said.

“I can’t believe the river, city and mountain views will be my ‘every day’. They make you feel so relaxed.”

Gallery House is just six kilometres from the CBD and within easy access to major roads, the airport and public transport.

The project also neighbours the retail and residential precinct of Portside Wharf, which Mr Scrogings said was a major drawcard.

“Gallery House is a quality development in a quality position,” he said.

“The prime waterfront location, river views that can’t be built out and local facilities will continue to add value.”

Brookfield Residential Properties’ General Manager Lee Butterworth said the Scrogings were typical of many Gallery House buyers.

“Our penthouses and Sky Homes have been sold to local downsizers who live in high-end homes and are now looking for something even more luxurious with incredible views and low  maintenance,” he said.

“For these buyers, Gallery House is the perfect choice. It offers a premium address with direct access to boutique retail, waterfront restaurants, residents-only sanctuaries including a podium garden and rooftop infinity pool with panoramic vistas.

“The combination of quality and location is irresistible for those who recognise the value and lifestyle benefits of living in on the rivers’ edge in one of Brisbane’s most luxurious apartments.”

Sales in Gallery House have reached more than $198 million. The two towers are being constructed by Multiplex with Gallery House One now past the halfway mark and Gallery House Two at level 6.

The $271 million luxury apartment project occupies a prime riverfront position that offers uninterrupted views of the Brisbane River and city skyline to the mountains beyond.

Sky Homes in Gallery House start from $1.36 million; while penthouses start from $2.295 million. For more information on Gallery House visit the Sales & Display Centre at Portside Wharf or www.gallery-house.com.au

The post Gallery House the pick for property pros appeared first on Brookfield Residential.

After renting for five years in Flare Apartments at Portside Wharf, the couple wanted to buy in the immediate area and the neighbouring Gallery House project was their first preference.

“We’d seen the Gallery House display and knew it was our dream project but initially didn’t think we’d be able to afford it,” said Mr Palacios, a 32-year-old head chef at the Queensland Museum.

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Gallery House features 319 luxury apartments on the waterfront in one of Brisbane’s most sought-after suburbs, and while penthouses in the project reach $5 million, one bedroom apartments are available from just $422,000.

For the Palacios, Gallery House was not only affordable, it also met the criteria for the Government’s first home buyers grant.

“When we discovered the one bedroom apartments at Gallery House were in our price range and we qualified for the Government grant because it was a ‘new build’, it meant we could own a luxury apartment in our favourite location.”

Mr Palacios said he had never considered leaving the Hamilton neighbourhood where he loves to spend his time dining at Portside Wharf and walking his dog along the riverfront.

“My wife and I can truly say that Hamilton feels like home which made it a no-brainer to buy into the area’s best apartment building,” he said.

“We already have everything we need right at our doorstep so living in the immediate area was a priority.

“I love the tight-knit village feel of Portside Wharf and it’s an easy commute to my work at Southbank. We just wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”

Mr Palacios said renting in Flare Apartments gave him the confidence to buy in Gallery House, knowing the quality of Brookfield Residential Properties’ developments.

“We love the design of Flare but we were simply blown away after seeing what’s in store for us at Gallery House,” he said.

“It is a cut above the rest when it comes to finishes and design and we can’t wait to move in and enjoy our new riverfront location once it’s complete late next year (2019).”

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director Lee Butterworth said while Gallery House was home to some of Brisbane’s most luxurious riverfront apartments, there were options for those on smaller budgets who wanted the waterfront address.

“Gallery House has a desirable address and prime riverfront position so whether your apartment overlooks the water or not, its location is still the envy of buyers everywhere,” he said.

“While Gallery House apartments have predominately sold to local downsizers, there has been a sizeable cohort of first home buyers who recognise the value of owning property so close to the water.

“With the retail and residential precinct of Portside Wharf next door, young families and professionals enjoy the vibrancy of the area as well as the easy access to key employment hubs, public transport, major roads and the airport.

“It is a combination that has proven popular with buyers at all stages of life who appreciate the premium fittings and finishes and cleverly-designed apartments that take advantage of views, natural light and breezes.”

Mr Butterworth said generous balconies and resort-style facilities, including a rooftop infinity pool and lush podium garden, connected residents with the beauty of the outdoors.

“Gallery House is designed to maximise its natural surrounds, adding to the overall experience of living beside one of the city’s most celebrated assets,” he said.

Sales in Gallery House have reached more than $192 million, with construction on the first tower now at level ten, and tower two at podium three.

The $271 million luxury apartment project occupies a prime riverfront position that offers uninterrupted views of the Brisbane River and city skyline, to the mountains beyond.

Gallery House has three apartment ‘Collections’ – City, River and Sky – with one bedroom apartments from $422,000; two bedroom apartments from $565,000; three bedrooms from $865,000 and four bedrooms from $1,195,000.

The post First Home Buyers secure riverfront dream appeared first on Brookfield Residential.

The rainy October weekend couldn’t keep buyers away from Brookfield Residential Properties’ dual-tower project in Hamilton that saw its highest number of weekend sales since launch, with six apartments worth more than $5 million sold for an average of almost $850,000.

Gallery House, which is currently under construction, has sold more than $180 million worth of one, two and three bedroom apartments, sky homes and penthouses.

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director Lee Butterworth said sales in Gallery House had been steadily increasing over recent months as construction progressed.

“Buyer confidence is high and we are seeing those who had registered their interest earlier are now putting pen to paper and signing contracts as they see both towers appearing out of the ground,” he said.

“The first Gallery House tower is due for completion late 2019 and with downsizers accounting for the majority of buyers, many feel now is the right time to purchase and start planning their move.

“We have seen strong demand from the top-end of the market with our larger premium apartments dominating recent sales.

“These buyers are owner occupiers who not only see the financial value in owning a riverfront apartment, but also the lifestyle benefits of living on the waterfront with a vibrant restaurant and retail precinct next door.”

Mr Butterworth said the project lifted the standard of luxury apartment living in Hamilton.

“High-end buyers are looking for luxury, location and quality and have found it in Gallery House,” he said.

“Gallery House’s generously-sized apartments will be built and finished to the highest quality with touches of luxury that will impress the most discerning buyer,” he said.

“The classic timber and white colour scheme gives the apartments a sense of timelessness, while the floor to ceiling windows frame the views and harness the natural light.

“We partnered with Cottee Parker Architects to create a unique, curved design that mimics the riverfront to ensure our premium apartments can take full advantage of the stunning vistas.

“A rooftop infinity pool with barbeque and lounge area provides the perfect platform for residents to escape and take in panoramic views of the city lights, river and encircling mountains; while a lush podium garden allows residents to immerse themselves in nature.”

Gallery House neighbours Brookfield’s ‘ retail and residential precinct of Portside Wharf. It is located six kilometres from the CBD, minutes from the airport and with easy access to public transport, CityCat and major roads.

Gallery House has three apartment ‘Collections’ – City, River and Sky – with two bedroom apartments from $565,000; three bedrooms from $865,000 and four bedrooms from $1,195,000.
