Hitting the right CBD-living notes: Apartment living meets rooftop resort

South Brisbane has blossomed to become one of Brisbane’s most sought-after areas.

Once known as a centre for art and culture, it’s now a place where lifestyle, design, and convenience meet, a neighbourhood that makes you want to stay, whether for a coffee at Fish Lane or a stroll along the river.

It’s home to the State Library of Queensland, the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), and multiple museums, but also a budding and buzzing restaurant and bar precinct.

And right in the middle of it all sits Flourish Symphony, a new residential development by Sherpa Group, designed with culture, lifestyle and wellness in mind.

“It’s a bit of an ode to the fact that there’s a lot of art and culture within the area,” Sherpa Group Development Manager Daniel Clarke says.

“A Symphony is all about lots of individual instruments coming together to make something greater, and we think South Brisbane has everything.

“It’s got all those components that make liveability so much better, especially the dining and the cultural area.”

Sophisticated living with resort-style amenities

The building, part of Sherpa’s Flourish series, will have 138 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed by HAL Architects and is set to be built by LPS Group.

“From level 20 and above, we’ve got a collection which is a more premium apartment with slightly different finishes and then we got a level of penthouses,” Mr Clarke says.

Apartments are sophisticated and stylish, with high-quality fixtures and fittings and practical layouts, but Symphony has something even better in store for those seeking a luxury lifestyle.

More than just buying an apartment in the building, residents will get a community brought together by communal amenities which foster wellbeing, connection, and resort-style indulgence.

“Our vision was to create a place where residents and buyers could truly ‘Flourish’, enjoying premium accommodation alongside thoughtfully designed communal facilities,” Mr Clarke says.

Luxury rooftop lifestyle

The real showstopper is the two-level rooftop precinct on levels 26 and 27, connected by a winding staircase set around a sprawling tree.

On the top level, there’s a 31m pool, a private dining area with a full Gaggenau kitchen and its own private bar on the balcony, barbeques and pizza ovens, and panoramic views that stretch across the city and the river.

“We want to be able to activate that area as well with pizza on a Tuesday night or something like that and get the residents involved,” Mr Clarke says.

Wellness is front and centre too. There’s an infrared sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge and showers.

Downstairs, there’s a gym with cardio and weights and a Pilates room with a Himalayan rock-salt wall.

For anyone working from home, there are soundproof pods perfect for Zoom calls and uninterrupted focus.

Strong demand for competitively-priced apartments

With property prices in South Brisbane up by 8.6% in the past 12 months, demand from buyers is strong and Flourish Symphony’s waitlist is growing exponentially – with over 2,000 people eager to learn more.

“There’s a broad mix of buyers, it’s pretty much everything from first-home buyers to normal homeowners to investors to downsizers,” Mr Clarke says.

The apartments, though of exceptional quality, are not at an unrealistic price, Mr Clarke says, giving more people a chance to buy the dream.

• 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartments with 1 car space from $655,000

• 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartments with 1 car space from $830,000

• 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartments with 1 car space from $1,125,000

• 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartments with 2 car spaces from $1,710,000

“We want to allow our residents to have everything they need at their fingertips and hopefully at a price point that’s much more attractive than anything else in the market at the moment,” he says.

Inclusivity and connection, he says, will be at the heart of Symphony.

“We are trying to develop communities and communities need everybody.”
