Highgate Hill, often eclipsed by its vibrant neighbour West End, is poised for a surge of residential development with the submission of plans for a new multi-residential apartment complex.
Riccardo and Mark Berlese, a significant executive at Sarina Russo Group, are in charge of the rare opportunity for new housing known as Westbourne Residences.
The proposed development, located at 13-19 Westbourne Street, is set to comprise 47 apartments across a three-to-four-level building, conveniently situated just 800 metres from South Bank Station. Westbourne Residences aims to cater to a diverse range of residents with 10 one-bedroom, 34 two-bedroom, and three three-bedroom apartments.
The project aims to preserve Highgate Hill’s historic character. The building’s façade will showcase red brick, echoing the area’s heritage architecture, while the hit-and-miss brick detailing will harmonise with the neighbourhood’s traditional timber and tin elements.
The design stands out thanks to the building envelope’s division into two distinct forms, which includes landscaped arrival areas and circulation around garden balconies. A communal rooftop space will provide residents with a swimming pool, deck, barbecue facilities, a breakout area, and a gym.
The development’s prime location, just 400 meters from Brisbane State High School and within walking distance of The Collective Markets, West Village Shopping Precinct, and South Bank Parklands, further enhances its appeal.
This project in Highgate Hill marks a significant addition to Highgate Hill’s residential landscape, following Sabi Property’s previous apartment development proposal, now believed to be under the development of McNab on Dudley Street.
