The largest penthouse in the $150 million Brisbane riverfront apartment building Rivello in Hamilton has hit the market, with developer Brookfield aiming to cash in on the high number of penthouse sales secured in Brisbane's premium pockets in recent weeks.

The penthouse is the final apartment available in Rivello and spans 562 sqm of the 17th floor, featuring expansive Brisbane River and CBD views.

The five-bedroom and five-and-a-half-bathroom apartment also includes a gym, home cinema, office, wine cellar, wet bar, fireplace, three-car garage, and multiple balconies including one that stretches the entire river frontage.

It is priced at $7,125,000 and is being sold by YPM Group.

Construction is well underway on Rivello, which will feature 147 one, two and three-bedroom apartments along with a collection of four sub-penthouses and two opulent penthouses.

Work is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

The majority of apartments boast sweeping views of the Brisbane River, while residents enjoy access to an extensive array of facilities, including&nbsp;an infinity-edge roof top pool and spa, sauna and steam rooms, a private function room with kitchen and bar, a residents’ lounge, wine cellar, business centre, outdoor gardens and barbeque areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=171473]

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director, Lee Butterworth, said the release of the final penthouse marked an important milestone in Rivello’s development and followed over $143 million in off the plan sales, with all other apartments in the building already sold.

“We’ve seen massive demand from buyers for these penthouses, sub-penthouses and apartments which is due to the exceptional amenities available for owners as well as the stunning location, just six kilometres from the Brisbane CBD,” Butterworth said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=212967]

“It is very rare for properties of this calibre to be released to the market and that’s why we’re expecting strong interest from a broad range of buyers.”

Butterworth said penthouse sales to date had been to owner-occupiers, wanting a spacious riverfront residence alongside the Portside Wharf precinct.

“Across the board, Rivello has appealed to local owner-occupiers, particularly those making the move from large homes in the nearby area and young professionals, along with interstate buyers relocating to Queensland,” he said.

“The River City has a huge opportunity ahead of the 2032 Olympics with many analysts predicting strong capital gains in the property market ahead of the worldwide event.”

Brisbane has seen a string of big ticket penthouse sales so far in 2023, the biggest and most recent being from <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/brisbanes-best-penthouse-spyre-group-light-up-toowong-with-arc-penthouse">Spyre's Arc Toowong project</a>.

The gateway to Brisbane&rsquo;s portside precinct is poised to gain a new residential landmark, with plans for a $140 million apartment development lodged.

The building will be known as The Cullen Hamilton, paying&nbsp;homage to the city&rsquo;s pioneering maritime history, after&nbsp;Ernest Alexander Cullen, the visionary engineer whose work at the turn of last century made Brisbane River navigable to larger vessels and laid the foundations for Hamilton to become the city&rsquo;s prime port facility.

A partnership headed by Brisbane development company Limitless has unveiled plans for the 23-level mixed-use tower, comprising 100 apartments in an innovative design that will accommodate downsizers and investors in the heart of the city&rsquo;s emerging Northshore community.

The Cullen Hamilton will be located in the core of the Hamilton Northshore Urban Village, activating a key corner and pedestrian access to the Hamilton Northshore, with the design of the building by renowned group, Plus Architecture.

Hamilton Northshore has been earmarked for the Brisbane Athletes&rsquo; Village for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, where the event is expected to host more than 16,000 athletes and officials during the Olympic Games and 8,000 during the Paralympic Games.

The Athletes&rsquo; Village location in the Northshore Hamilton area has accelerated the investment in growth, development and infrastructure within the area, progressing renewed planning to support the local investment and delivery.

The Cullen Hamilton will be crowned by two luxurious penthouses and feature a collection of 28 sub-penthouses, all with private lift access.

The penthouses will comprise four bedrooms plus a multi-purpose room and two bathrooms, while the sub-penthouses will offer three-bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a multi-purpose room.

The penthouses and sub-penthouses will also have exclusive access to a communal rooftop space, which features a library,&nbsp;kitchen and lounge for residents.

The Cullen Hamilton&rsquo;s lower levels will comprise a mix of 20 three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments, ideal for owner occupiers or investors, plus a collection of 50 two-bedroom, two- bathroom apartments targeting investors.

The ground floor area of the project is set to add to the lifestyle amenity for residents through 500 sqm of retail and commercial spaces planned.

The Cullen Hamilton is the largest and most sophisticated development undertaken by Limitless in their, which is backed by a successful 23-year record of residential and commercial project delivery.

The company is currently undertaking the new Hotel Chermside on Brisbane&rsquo;s Northside, with the city&rsquo;s north a key area of focus for Limitless in recent times, where it has created an extensive portfolio of residential and commercial projects.

The Cullen Hamilton will be located in the core of the Hamilton Northshore Urban Village, activating a key corner and pedestrian access to the Hamilton Northshore, with the design of the building by renowned group, Plus Architecture.



Limitless to deliver Brisbane Northshore landmark, The Cullen Hamilton

The luxury Queensland and New South Wales apartment developer, Holm Developments, are set to build on&nbsp;the site of the former Brisbane Quarry.

The group engaged&nbsp;Plus Architecture to design the project at&nbsp;336 Kingsford Smith Drive in Hamilton. Just 16 apartments will be spread across several terraced stories.

Holm Developments Director,&nbsp;Godfrey Esmonde, said the suburb is one of the premier locations in Brisbane with River and city views.

&quot;There is a consistent market for luxury Hamilton homes and a number of good developers are doing off the plan homes in Hamilton,&quot;&nbsp;Esmonde said.

&quot;We believe that a market will also exist for the luxury apartment market and people will want the Hamilton location but maybe not the maintenance and upkeep of a luxury house,&quot;&nbsp;Esmonde said, adding that a large&nbsp;apartment with city and river views makes sense.

Overlooking the Brisbane River, Plus say the form and function are designed to capture and enhance the relationship between river, outdoor living, and luxury interiors.

With the steeping nature of the Quarry site, the group designed the apartments across varying terraced levels, ranging from two to six storeys.

The horizontal lines of the slab edges and balustrade upturns create visual interest as the building steps up Quarry street and define the edge to open balconies, while external screens create intimacy between street, occupant views and solar control.

&ldquo;The building is the best of amenity, river views, suburban convenience and neighbourhood together in a timeless and elegant form,&rdquo; said Plus Architecture in their proposed plans.

A mix of apartment configurations will be offered across the development, following an open-plan design that opens out to the neighbouring river.

One one-bedroom apartment will feature on the lower ground floor, along with three two-bedroom plus study apartments and two three-bedroom apartments.

The upper ground floor will home two additional two-bedroom apartments, with these offering two bathrooms instead of a study. Sharing the level are two four-bedroom apartments, which span 125 sqm, oriented toward the family owner-occupier.

Three three-bedroom apartments, each covering 105 sqm will grace the first level of the building, while the remaining two levels will comprise two additional three-bedroom apartments, one on the second level and the other on the third, with a remaining four-bedroom apartment also on the second floor.

Esmonde expects a majority of buyers to come from the Hamilton and Ascot areas, with homeowners looking to downsize, along with interstate buyers from Sydney and Melbourne.&nbsp;

&quot;We are buoyed by the continual sale of high-end homes in the region and believe that the luxury market will continue to perform strongly.&quot;

It&#39;s the group&#39;s first time developing a multi-residential building in the Hamilton suburb,&nbsp;with works currently underway on a 14 townhouse project across the road in Ascot, called Ascot Row.&nbsp;

Holm are developing two other projects south of the border, with 47 units planned for Pama Casuarina and 14 units, dubbed Kai, slated for the Kingscliff beachfront.

The group engaged the experienced, Plus Architecture to design the project, with 16 boutique residences to be split across several terraced stories.

Construction has started on the Brisbane riverfront apartment building, Rivello, in Northshore Hamilton, which has seen over&nbsp;90 per cent of apartments sold for more than $133 million in just 10 weeks.

The sales rush has been led by owner-occupiers, including young professionals and downsizers, many of whom live within a 10-kilometre radius.

Interstate purchasers looking to relocate or invest in the Queensland have made up around 10 per cent of the sales.

More than 1,000 jobs will be created during construction of the $149 million, 21-storey building, which will home 150 apartments and a suite of resort-style amenities, including a roof-top infinity-edge pool with expansive views across the Brisbane River to the CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=171473]

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&rsquo;s activities in the Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area (PDA), situated 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.

&ldquo;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,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=174005]

&ldquo;Those sales are a vote of confidence from the top end of the market in Rivello and we&rsquo;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.

&ldquo;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.&rdquo;

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.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;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&rsquo;s evolution for many years to come.&rdquo;

Economic Development Queensland General Manager Debbie McNamara said the project marks another milestone in Northshore&rsquo;s transformation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=171475]

&ldquo;I am proud of Economic Development Queensland&rsquo;s continued investment in infrastructure to revitalise the Northshore Hamilton PDA, which paves the way for projects like Rivello,&rdquo; she said.

&ldquo;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&rsquo;s best riverfront living.&rdquo;

Butterworth said Northshore Hamilton continued to be in high demand due to its premium, riverfront location.

&ldquo;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,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;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.&rdquo;

Construction begins on Rivello, Brisbane apartments, as sales hit 90%

The upper-end of the Brisbane off the plan apartment market is continuing to go from strength to strength.

The latest success story comes from Hamilton, where Brookfield&nbsp;Residential Properties has already secured over $100 million in off the plan sales at is riverfront Rivello Hamilton apartment development.

Sales of the 150 apartments have just officially hit the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=171473]

It&#39;s been the higher end apartments in the $147 million, 21-level building designed by Cottee Parker Architects which have proved the most popular, with the penthouses among the first to sell.

Brookfield Residential Properties&rsquo; Managing Director, Lee Butterworth, said buyers had responded well to Rivello.

&ldquo;There is certainly significant demand for Brisbane property in the current market and buyers recognise Rivello represents a rare opportunity to purchase a new apartment in a building on the Brisbane River,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We started receiving enquiries from the moment we secured development approval, and formally began taking registrations of interest late June, with buyers knocking on our door to know when they could officially secure their place in the project.

&ldquo;Buyers have predominately been local owner-occupiers from within a ten kilometre radius of Portside, who are familiar with this precinct and are looking to secure their place here, or to upgrade to a new apartment. Many have purchased with us at Portside previously.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=171475]

&ldquo;We have also experienced strong enquiry from interstate buyers, including owner-occupiers wanting to relocate to the Sunshine State and those who see the strong investment potential Queensland offers, with almost 10 per cent of sales to date to interstate purchasers.&rdquo;

Apartments at Rivello average a generous 120 sqm and feature high quality fittings and finishes, including premium appliances, a spacious open plan design and floor to ceiling glass to maximise views and natural light.

The final two sub-penthouses have up to 302 sqm of floor space, including&nbsp;kitchens with butler&rsquo;s pantries, a fireplace, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces.

There&#39;s extensive&nbsp;resort-style resident amenity within the building, including an infinity-edge pool with views across the Brisbane River to the CBD, a private dining room with kitchen and bar for intimate gatherings, a residents&rsquo; lounge, wine cellar, business centre, outdoor gardens and barbeque areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=171474]

Butterworth said the exclusive facilities were complemented by the extensive range of lifestyle offerings at Portside.

&ldquo;While there are plenty of places for residents to relax and unwind, or host family and friends, within their apartment or the building, they are spoilt for choice with the range of sophisticated dining and retail, along with a cinema and supermarket, quite literally at the doorstep,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;If they want to go further afield, there&rsquo;s numerous modes of public transport, including the CityCat, major arterial roads and Brisbane Airport in easy reach.

&ldquo;Rivello&rsquo;s location truly is unparalleled when you consider its accessibility, absolute riverfront position and vibrant street level.&rdquo;

There&#39;s a mix of apartments available, ranging from one bedrooms to the final two sub-penthouses.

Two bedroom apartments in the &lsquo;Lifestyle Collection&rsquo; are priced from $605,000, two and three-bedroom apartments in the &lsquo;River Collection&rsquo; from $720,000 and the final sub-penthouses in the &lsquo;Penthouse Collection&rsquo; are priced from $2,070,000.

El Nido, the Hamilton Hill home of Margaret Batt, wife of bankrupt whiskey baron and Nant Distillery founder Keith Batt, has been sold by the receiver for $1,615,000.
The 1927 Spanish mission-style home was bought by a company with Margaret at the helm for $1.43 million in 2013.
Margaret listed the home late last year with no buyer emerging, and this time receivers stepped in to sell the property.
The three level home has four bedrooms and a river pool on its 790 square metre Hillside Crescent parcel.
Place agents Tristan Rowland and John Bradley sold the home at auction.
Designed by Eric Percival Trewern for the Powers family, El Nido was possible the earliest of the Spanish Mission style houses in Brisbane, and calculated as one of the most expensive pre-depression houses erected at a £3,500 cost.
The brick and stucco residence was one of the most expensive houses erected in Brisbane in the late 1920s.

An overseas based investor has paid $5.4 million to secure a Northshore development site.
It comes with an extensive holding income.
The 15 Curtin Avenue West premises were sold by Shaw Harrison, Robert Dunne and Will Carman of Savills.
Harrison said the campaign attracted 128 interested parties resulting in 11 offers. 
“We had particular interest with a number of groups that are prepared to land bank and prepare themselves for the next cycle.
"Core located sites with holding income, make this decision much easier."
Harrison added that traditionally an industrial location, Northshore Hamilton is currently being transformed and revitalised into one of Brisbane’s best in class mixed use precincts.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/8/Curtin%20whist.jpg" alt="">
Executive Commercial Sales Will Carman who introduced the buyer said that the international investor was drawn to the property because of the impressive development upside potential. 
“With an existing overlay for up to eight levels of development which would include residential, retail and commercial space it was an opportunity they weren’t prepared to miss,
“The buyer was in town for the week and was keen to transact before they flew home which resulted in us achieving a cash unconditional offer which was a great outcome,” Mr Carman said. 
The 4,641sq m site has strong holding income of $208,955 per annum.
It is currently surrounded by other major development projects which include Frasers Property, Shayher Group, and Multiplex and Brookfield Properties.  
The property is currently leased with an industrial land lease in place and also benefits from additional income from a telecommunications tower situated at the rear of the site.
Carman said the buyer has no immediate plans for the property, but have significant plans in the long term. 
The Northshore Hamilton area has witnessed a significant transformation in recent years, taking the precinct from an industrial hub to a community set to house over 15,000 people.  
The precinct is experiencing rapid growth with the inclusion of McDonalds, Woolworths and Eat Street.

South Sydney Rabbitoh's hooker Robbie Farah is passionate about family, footy and property.
As his onfield career nears an end, he appears to have turned his mind to accumulating an impressive property portfolio, all done with family.
Having recently secured a three bedroom knockdown in Wareemba in Sydney's inner west with his sports physio brother, Eddie, he has continued to spend - this time in Queensland.
The pair have spent $1.13 million in Brisbane on an elegant two level Queenslander in the upmarket suburb of Hamilton (pictured above).
The purchase was through YNWA Developments, named after the famous You'll Never Walk Alone anthem of Liverpool FC, Farah's favourite English Premier League team.
The classic five bedroom home on 810 square metres was renovated before its recent sale through Place Ascot agent Deborah Hinchy.
This one is a rental for the investment syndicate at $1,250 a week, reflecting a 5.75% yield.
The Wareemba knockdown (pictured below)  cost $2,406,000 with the 694 square metre parcel confirming it will be a future duplex site. 
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/03/28/war%20mert.jpeg" alt="">
Farah bought his first home in 2006 when he paid $500,000 for a two bedroom unit in Annandale.
It became a consistent rental for Farah since 2012. Its last $720 a week tenant gave a 7.5% yield.
He co-owns properties with Eddie in Cabarita, Concord and Maroubra, which total nearly $3.5 million.
