Final Release of the Penthouse Collection unveiled at Brisbane’s Monarch Residences

Developer Consolidated Properties Group (CPG) is set to test the market for luxury residences in Brisbane’s inner west, having announced its final, limited release of six residences in its $450 million absolute riverfront Monarch Residences development at Toowong.

The Penthouse Collection encompasses the largest and most lavishly appointed apartments within Monarch Residences and the final six are hitting the market.

Astute buyers keen to own in what is Brisbane’s finest current apartment offering are expected to move quickly on the release, says Colliers Director of Residential, Andrew Scriven of Brisbane.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own such a home of this calibre, with a breathtaking landscape with vistas of the city and 130 metres of north-facing riverfront,” Mr Scriven said.

“There will never be another place like Monarch Residences.” 

Situated on one of Brisbane’s last remaining true riverfront sites at 600 Coronation Drive, and settled among 1.2haof beautifully landscaped gardens, CPG released the final residences in the Penthouse Collection to market in early October.  

Apartments in the collection range in size between 295qm and 347sqm, with price guidelines between $5.75 million and $7.9 million.

Buyers who secure one of the penthouses will enjoy expansive, homelike dimensions with access to the Brisbane CBD right outside the front door, all while being elevated and featuring panoramic views of the river and CBD.

The Penthouses have been curated by CPG in partnership with Melbourne-based Architectural Institute of Australia gold medal-winning architect John Wardle and leading national architectural practice Cottee Parker.

The Penthouse Collection exudes beauty, with uncompromised focus on quality, timeless elegance and attention to detail throughout. The Collection provide elevated ceiling heights, starting at a minimum of 3.2m, that create a volume of space, openness to uninterrupted views, an abundance of natural light and river breezes.

In addition, the penthouses feature premium interior finishes which are a blend of quality and functionality, including Herringbone European oak timber flooring, oak finished bespoke joinery, paired with the luxurious Dolce Vita quartzite benchtops and a suite of European appliances.

The individualised floorplans allow each penthouse to showcase their own views and unique features, ensuring each of the collection’s apartments stand out from the rest.

Alongside the interiors, the architectural designs draw on the natural colours and qualities of the site, the historical elements of the location and the river views, and are designed to be low-maintenance, ultra-premium and deliver an elevated living experience. 

Consolidated Properties Group CEO and chairman Don O’Rorke says the final release of the Penthouse Collection is a case of leaving the best until last.

“We launched Monarch Residences in early 2023 and it’s been one of the best received residential projects in our 45-year history, as well as Brisbane’s, with the apartments now 95% sold out ahead of construction completion end of next year,” Mr O’Rorke said.

“There is no better-connected site in Brisbane with its rail, bus, ferry, pedestrian and cycleway linkages at its doorstep – and we have aimed to deliver apartments, amenities and a design ethos that does justice to the quality of the land and which reflects quintessential Queensland living.

“We have designed each penthouse as a sanctuary right in the heart of the city. They are the epitome of luxury, elegance and security overlooking the Brisbane River – the purchasers will be securing something truly special.”

Architect John Wardle says that when designing interiors for The Collection, his team wanted to create a feeling of harmony and connect owners to the Brisbane Riverfront.

“Our design philosophy focuses on creating spaces that harmonise with their surroundings. The Collection not only captures breathtaking views but also embodies the true essence of what it means to live in Brisbane, ensuring residents feel a true connection to the riverfront,” he said.

“Each residence is a testament to modern design capability, sophistication, architectural excellence and remarkable construction.”

Monarch Residences comprises a total 224 apartments across two 15-level towers and is being built on the former ABC site on Coronation Drive, spanning 1.2 hectares and including 130m-plus of direct river frontage.

In addition to owning one of Brisbane’s most exclusive apartments, residents at Monarch Residences will have direct access to the historic heritage-listed Middenbury House, which sits on the site and is currently being restored and refurbished with the public able to access the house for the first time since it was built in 1865.

Monarch Residences is currently under construction with Hutchinson Builders, with anticipated move in by the end of 2025.

Perspective buyers can visit the multi-million-dollar, riverfront sales office on site at 600 Coronation Drive, Toowong. The sales display will be closing at the end of the year to make way for construction.
