As urban infill projects reshape Brisbane, Callista on Park has become the closing act of West Village, a dense, design-led community in the heart of West End.
Blending Old and New in West End
Callista on Park’s design by Rothelowman responds to its historic setting, using curved forms and stone to soften its scale beside the heritage-listed Peters Factory. A central “green seam” splits the two towers, visually linking the building to nearby Mollison Park.
Rather than isolating residents in a high-rise, the building connects directly to the rhythms of the West Village precinct. It sits close to local markets, shops, cafés and dining venues, and residents will also have direct access to public gardens and cultural spaces within the development.
A Shift in Apartment Mix
Callista on Park was initially planned for only three- and four-bedroom apartments, but shifting market needs led to the inclusion of two-bedroom units, broadening appeal while keeping quality standards.
There are now 33 two-bedroom apartments, 48 three-bedroom units, and 15 four-bedroom residences available. Sekisui House confirmed that prices for three- and four-bedroom homes will start from $2.4 million, reflecting their generous sizes and finishes aimed at long-term owner-occupiers.
Rooftop Living and Green Views
Callista on Park places its shared amenities on the rooftop, including a pool, spa, BBQ area, dining room and lounge. It has an overlooking view of Brisbane’s skyline and Mollison Park, reinforcing access to green space in a dense setting.
The apartments themselves include large balconies and interiors designed for cross-flow ventilation, helping to keep indoor temperatures comfortable through Queensland’s warmer months. Materials used inside aim for durability as well as visual appeal, with neutral colours and natural finishes that tie into the park environment.
A Community Legacy
The name “Callista” comes from the Greek word meaning “most beautiful”, and subtly nods to the West End’s Greek community, which was a defining part of the area’s identity during the 1980s.
West Village has become a thriving hub with over 35 shops, eateries and services. Since its beginnings on the old factory site, it has earned nearly 60 awards for blending heritage reuse with urban density.
