Brisbane's top five new apartment developments to go to market in 2025
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 Brisbane 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 back to the 1980s 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 what, the who, and the where of the best new apartment developments launching in Brisbane in 2025.
What: Callista on Park
Where: 111 Boundary Street, West End QLD 4101
Who: Sekisui House Australia
After nearly a decade of redefining the apartment landscape in West End, Sekisui House Australia is set to pull the final curtain at its $1.2 billion, multi-award-winning West Village community.
The final tower, Callista on Park, 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.
Renowned architecture firm Rothelowman has designed Callista, having previously been the lead architect for the village's penultimate stage, the Allere collection, where there are just a handful of apartments remaining.
The Opulnet Collection has the largest floorplans that have been produced in the now thriving community. There are four and five-bedroom configurations on offer, with internal living spaces ranging from 184 sqm to 300 sqm.
The Allere Collection will finish construction in early 2025, paving the way for Callistra construction to start later in the year.
What: One Hundred on Leichhardt
Where: 100 Leichhardt Street, Spring Hill
Who: Dibcorp
Franco Di Bartolomeo's Dibcorp will be taking its redevelopment of the Spring Hill Hotel to market in the coming months.
Dibcorp, who sold out Bide Newstead before its completion last year, will be launching One Hundred on Leichhardt, an 18-level tower above the former Spring Hill Hotel.
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.
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.
What: Two towers, 795 apartments
Where: 204 Alice Street, Brisbane
Who: Meriton
Harry Triguboff's apartment giant Meriton will be expected to launch its three-tower Alice Street, Brisbane CBD development next year, having secured approval for the $1.3 billion project in October.
There will be just under 800 apartments across the two skyscrapers, designed by their go-to architect in Queensland DBI who has designed Meriton's recent Gold Coast portfolio.
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.
What: The Bedford by Mosaic
Where: 16-30 Prospect Street, Kangaroo Point
Who: Mosaic Property Group
Bulletproof builder-developer, Mosaic Property Group, has two new projects set to launch in Kangaroo Point.
The most impressive is The Bedford by Mosaic, 128 apartments above a full-line Woolworths on a Prospect Street site that has been vacant for over three decades.
Morris tweaked the plans they inherited from Woolworths' development arm Fabcot, bringing in Cottee Parker 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.
What: 23-level tower, 126 apartments
Where: Linton Street, Kangaroo Point
Who: Mosaic Property Group
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 77 Linton Street, 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.
The level 24 rooftop will have a swimming 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.
