Singapore-listed Fraser Centrepoint's Australand has appointed one of Queensland's oldest generational businesses, Tomkins Commercial & Industrial Builders, to kickstart construct of its $44 million luxury boutique riverfront apartment development, Newport, at Hamilton Reach, Brisbane.
The project has 34 luxury apartments which will be built overlooking the Royal Queensland Golf Club and the Brisbane River. Already 20 off-the-plan sales have been recorded worth more than $27 million, including its highest sale to date of a courtyard apartment, worth $2.195 million.
Australand's Queensland residential general manager Cameron Leggatt said the builder was specifically chosen because of the need for a high-quality construction.
"We had a competitive tender with four builders but ultimately we chose Tomkins because of their track record on high-quality builds. Tomkins has a reputation for delivering a quality product and we are looking forward to making our vision a reality with their expertise."
"The standard of finishes in Newport is very high and is designed to resonate with owner-occupiers," Mr Leggatt said.
Almost all purchasers so far have been locals downsizing from the nearby affluent suburbs of Hamilton, Ascot and Clayfield, as well as other Brisbane areas such as Toowong and Bridgeman Downs.
"We have skewed this product to the owner-occupier market, which has been improving on the back of established housing markets."
"We have a level of presales that gives us the confidence and financial settings to commence construction."
Hamilton Reach is just six kilometres from central Brisbane and within the Northshore Hamilton Urban Development area, one of Australia's largest waterfront urban renewal projects.
Architects RotheLowman have designed Newport, incorporating a rippling effect in the façade, which captures the movements of the adjacent Brisbane River.
Construction is expected to be completed late next year. Amenities include a resort-style pool and a private landscaped atrium within the centre of the building. Two-bedroom apartments have been priced from $735,000 and three bedrooms from $965,000.
