The eight-storey apartment building at 17 Ferry Road, West End, will deliver 30 three-bedroom apartments in a pocket of the suburb that has seen significant development activity in recent years. The project is developed by Vista and designed by architecture firm Prospect.
Interiors have been designed by Bella Vie, and the building will include a rooftop pool, barbecue area and yoga lawn. Each apartment will come with its own outdoor space and two underground car parks.
Sales agent Doug Tonkin said the target demographic was primarily downsizers, people leaving the leafy suburbs of Brisbane for something smaller and more centrally located.
Tonkin described the broader inner-city apartment market as overcrowded, with high-density projects continuing to proliferate. He said that offering only 30 apartments set the project apart in an otherwise high-density market, and that he believed there was a clear demand for it.
Prices range from $1,799,000 to $2,209,000 across four different floor plan configurations. Around 12 apartments have already sold ahead of the July construction start.
Elisi is immediately adjacent to the large-scale The Lanes Montague Markets precinct and sits directly opposite a separate planned apartment building at 24 Ferry Road. Tonkin said the area’s appeal was tied to its access to city services, proximity to Orleigh Park, and the draw of two public schools: West End State School and Brisbane State High School.
The site itself has already been cleared. The building that previously stood at the address, along with the adjoining car park, has been demolished ahead of the July start.

West End has experienced significant population growth in recent years, and residents have raised concerns that development is outstripping infrastructure. Rapid development in the area has faced criticism from locals who argue that population growth is outstripping services and that the necessary infrastructure has not kept pace.
Whether the infrastructure catches up remains an open question for the suburb. For now, the site has been cleared and construction is due to get underway in July.
