Construction of a luxury apartment development on one of the final riverfront sites in Brisbane’s West End has been fast-tracked by three months, signalling the next phase of urban renewal for the sought-after inner-city precinct.
Rivara debuted to the market just five months ago, with residences snapped up for an average sale price of $3 million. The final release of apartments, terrace homes, penthouses and river homes will launch soon.
Traders In Purple development director Alex Black said sales had exceeded all expectations, with the majority made to local owner-occupiers living in West End and its surrounds.
“The opportunity to secure a brand-new absolute riverfront residence this close to the Brisbane CBD is extremely rare and even more so in West End, with this one of its final true waterfront addresses,” she said.
“The location in a quieter pocket, close to the vibrant cafes, restaurants, art galleries and live music venues that make West End so unique has appealed to downsizers through to professionals and families wanting a position in the Brisbane State High catchment.”
“The start of construction symbolises the next phase in the significant urban renewal of West End, and we’re anticipating demand for the final residences will only continue to strengthen now that work is underway.”
Early site works will include the demolition of existing industrial buildings. Rivara is anticipated for final construction completion in late 2028.
Ms Black said Traders In Purple had more than two decades of experience as both developer and builder, delivering quality residential projects across Australia.
“Our 100 per cent completion rate has given buyers confidence and certainty, which is more important than ever,” she said.
A wellness-focused garden podium features a 20-metre riverfront pool, hot and cold magnesium plunge pools, sauna and yoga lawn. Other exclusive resident amenities include a wellness room with reformer Pilates, private dining room, and a sunset terrace with barbeque and covered seating.
“Our focus is on designing from the inside out, ensuring our residences are intuitive, comfortable, beautiful, and connected to amenities that enhance lifestyle,” said Ms Black
