When Australians head to Europe for the summer, their preference is to head to the popular haunts of Capri and Mykonos.

Not many venture to the south of Spain, or to the small city of Murcia,&nbsp;the seventh most populous city in the country. It's around 200km south of Valencia, and 400km from Malaga to the south and Madrid to the north.

But it is Murcia, known as 'Europe's Orchard' due to its long agricultural tradition and its fruit, vegetable, and flower production and exports, that inspired the design of Brisbane's newest apartment development, aptly named <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/murcia-residences-east-brisbane-9-overend-street-east-brisbane">Murcia Residences</a>.

Developer Sarazin gave <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/hal-architects">HAL Architects</a> the brief to focus on the architecture, flora, and fauna of Murcia when putting together the plans for the new landmark development footsteps from the iconic Gabba.

The result is a&nbsp;Mediterranean-influenced design that complements Brisbane’s subtropical climate.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214682]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/sarazin">Sarazin</a> State Director, Adam Rainbird, says the vision with Murcia was to challenge the conventional design and delivery in the Brisbane market.&nbsp;

"What we've tried to do is take this Mediterranean inspiration from the region and blend it with something that is not only unique but also feels at home in the subtropical Brisbane environment," Rainbird says.&nbsp;

"This is evident in the materiality of the building, which incorporates a carefully curated palette of colours, landscaping, and vertical elements, including breeze blocks and sun shades. These architectural features are not only functional but also help define Murcia’s distinctive aesthetic."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=327790]

The landscape design, led by Andrew Green of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/wild-studio">Wild Studio</a>, plays a central role in Murcia’s overall vision.&nbsp;

"The design philosophy is about creating a series of heavily landscaped spaces where people can connect, interact, drink, and enjoy life," Green explains.&nbsp;

This extensive greenery extends throughout the development, from ground-level laneways to balconies, green facades, and rooftop spaces.&nbsp;

More than 3,000 plants will contribute to a lush and verdant setting, providing a natural response to Brisbane’s climate and reinforcing the Mediterranean theme.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214685]

The Mediterranean influence extends to the rooftop which will home a heated infinity pool, cold and warm magnesium plunge pools, spa, sauna, bookable private dining room, work-from-home spaces, fully equipped gym, and various outdoor alfresco spaces and BBQ areas.&nbsp;

Murcia, under construction by building giant Hutchinson, will comprise 210 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, plus a 700 sqm office tenancy on the second floor, a public art gallery and 300 sqm of retail on the ground floor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=327789]

Its prime location on Overend Street will put residents just 500 metres from the Cross River Rail station which will open in 2029. Once operational, this will enable residents to travel from Woolloongabba to the heart of the Brisbane CBD in approximately 90 seconds. &nbsp;

Murcia&nbsp;is expected to complete in mid-2027

How a small Spanish city influenced the design of Brisbane's newest apartment development

Developer Sarazin and tier-one construction firm Hutchinson Builders has signalled the start of construction of Woolloongabba's newest development, Murcia Residences.

Following tradition, Sarazin and Hutchies has officially turned the first earth at a sod-turning ceremony that has become a custom practice in the development industry.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/murcia-residences-east-brisbane-9-overend-street-east-brisbane">Murcia Residences</a>, on the border of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/woolloongabba-qld-4102">Woolloongabba</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> at 9 Overend Street, just 150 metres from The Gabba, has been inspired by the Spanish city of Murcia and comprises 210 one, two and three-bedroom apartments in a Mediterranean-like building.

In the building will be a 700 sqm office tenancy on the second floor and 300 sqm of retail on the ground floor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214684]

Crowning the building will be an <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/the-top-10-best-apartment-rooftops-in-brisbane">impressive rooftop</a> with a&nbsp;heated infinity pool, cold and warm magnesium plunge pools, spa, sauna, bookable private dining room, work-from-home spaces, fully equipped gym and various outdoor alfresco BBQ areas.&nbsp;

A public art gallery located on the ground floor builds on Sarazin’s already substantial contribution to the arts in Brisbane, complementing its groundbreaking STEAMM Studios (STEM + Art and Music) at Woolloongabba and Sarazin’s major sponsorship of the Griffith University Art Museum at South Brisbane.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214685]

Strategically located and in close proximity to the soon-to-be operational Woolloongabba Cross River Rail station, residents and workers at Murcia will enjoy unequalled connectivity to train, bus and tram services, with easy access to north and south arterial freeways.

With panoramic views of the Brisbane city skyline, and within easy walking distance to the Logan Rd and South City Square dining precincts, Murcia Residences is set to become a landmark Brisbane building, reflecting the evolution of city in the lead up to the 2032 Olympic Games.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214681]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/sarazin">Sarazin</a> Founder and Director Darren Dougan said Murcia’s architecturally ambitious design is set to become the gold standard for urban regeneration in the area.

"In the midst of a housing crisis, Murcia will provide much needed additional supply to the Brisbane market, offering varied housing options to the community, from the solo urbanite to downsizers to young families.”

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/hutchinson-builders">Hutchinson Builders</a> Chairman Scott Hutchinson said the team are delighted to be partnering with Sarazin on this project. &nbsp;

"We have been impressed by Sarazin’s attention to detail and professional business ethos, and we look forward to working with the Sarazin team to deliver an exceptional residential development.”

Murcia adds to Sarazin’s other developments in Woolloongabba, including Silk One, Silk Lane, Nuage and Hampton Yards.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/murcia-residences-east-brisbane-9-overend-street-east-brisbane">Murcia Residences</a> comprises 186 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments with open-plan living spaces that integrate indoor and outdoor areas.&nbsp;

Residential amenities will also be featured across the ground level, with new cafes offering a convenient pit stop for residents. The second level of Murcia will feature a fully equipped gym, while there'll also be a dedicated bike repair workshop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214685]

Aside from the luxurious features within Murcia, residents will benefit from their positioning within East Brisbane.&nbsp;

A mere 500-metre walk away from Murcia lies the new Cross River Rail Station, slated for completion in early 2025, with the convenient transportation hub set to connect residents to the rest of the city.

The Overend Street project and its residents will benefit from the substantial investment in the Olympic precinct. Both government and private investors are injecting billions of dollars to establish a thriving 24/7 precinct that will endure long after the conclusion of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Murcia Residences is slated for completion in late 2026.
