Spyre Group to bring luxury-defining sky garage to Brisbane at Moray House
Brisbane is set to see it's first sky garage, a term coined for garages that are located on the same level as the apartment, often reserved for only the premium residences at the top of the tower.
There's only a handful of examples of the rare inclusion across the world. They've been a custom feature in luxury high-rises in Dubai, Singapore and Miami.
Only one other project in the whole of Australia can boast a sky garage, the under construction Neue Grand on St Kilda Road, which made headlines in 2018 when it announced it was creating a number of sky garages adjoining the living space.
Brisbane developer Spyre Group will be bringing the sky garage to their record-breaking New Farm apartment development, Moray House.
There will be two apartments with the sky garage feature. The residents of the apartments will be able to pull in off Moray Street, enter a remote-control operated car lift, and drive into their own garage in their apartments above the Brisbane River.
Once at their apartment’s level, residents will have the luxury of reversing from the elevator into their private sky garage, which can be viewed from the adjoining glass-walled gym.
The other two car spaces can be accessed by taking the car elevator down to the parking garage at the bottom of the development. The car journey from entering the vehicular lift to the basement is expected to be 18 seconds.
“The sky garage will appeal to luxury vehicle enthusiasts who want privacy as well as the additional security of garaging their car in their apartment rather than using regular basement parking,’’ Spyre director Andrew Malouf said.
The six-residence development features views that frame the Story Bridge and follow the Riverwalk from Howard Smith Wharves to the Eagle Street precinct in the CBD.
Moray House has been described as “akin to living in a tree house’’ and features full floor length garden beds, allowing residents to express their individuality.
The exterior design communes with the surrounding Jacaranda trees and will take on different hues as the seasons change.
The interiors include the highest finishes of Chambord stone in a complex grain, European oak herringbone flooring and bespoke timber joinery. The chef-grade kitchens feature WOLF appliances an integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer and VZUG dishwasher.
“Each apartment can be individually curated for the new owners with custom components that allow their homes to truly classify as ‘one of one’, Malouf added.
"These include a lap pool, sky garages, wellness rooms and personalised gyms."
Residence 6, an 800 sqm penthouse across two levels in Moray House, which features a roof garden, sold in January for $15.75 million, breaking the record for Brisbane’s most expensive apartment sale.
Residence 4 sold for $9 million to a couple who were relocating to Brisbane from Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
The sale, which is the equivalent to $34,749 per sqm, is just below the $34,870 per sqm rate Spyre achieved in March with the $13.6 million sale of the penthouse of its luxury Toowong development, Arc, then setting the off-the-plan record for Brisbane.
Spyre has appointed Contrast Constructions to build Moray House, which is expected to take around 14 months to complete. Demolition is currently underway
With demolition underway on the site at 65 Moray Street, Spyre has appointed Contrast Constructions as builder of the development, which is expected to take around 14 months.
