• Located in Cannon Hill, 6km from Brisbane’s CBD.
  • One, two, three and four-bedroom apartments for sale from $330,000.
  • Green-living and sustainability design features.

There has been a rush of residential development in Cannon Hill, with Lime Apartments one of many now on the market. Lime delivers those aspects but in addition, it has an environmental focus with sustainability features built into its design.

The Project

Lime Apartments comprise 95-dwellings over four different buildings. Stage one and two have already sold. Construction is about to start on Stage three (shown in blue below), which only has 14 apartments left (1 x one bedroom, 13 x two bedrooms), and is expected to be complete mid-2017. Stage four will start afterwards and has already sold 9 out of 25 apartments.

The last two stages comprise two buildings of five levels, with a mix of one (1) and two (2) bedroom apartments, some with full-length outdoor terraces.

A green-living focus is reflected in the vibrant green exterior panelling. The extensive shading panels will be set above planted areas and solid rendering on the western side. All four buildings will play a poignant part in reducing the buildings’ ventilation and thermal mass during Summer. In addition, energy and water-efficiency is utilised in the extensive rainwater harvesting for landscaping purposes. There is an onsite storm-water treatment to ensure run-off from the property does not have an adverse effect on Brisbane’s waterways. The sustainability theme will continue inside. Apartments are fitted with water-efficient shower-heads and taps, as well as energy-efficient lighting.

While the development consists of four buildings, a sense of community will be created through interconnecting structures with subtropical plant-lined paved pathways.

Lime Living Apartments apartment bedrooms will share no common walls which means more privacy for each resident. Apartments have been designed so bedrooms are positioned opposite adding privacy.

Some apartments have city views.

Location

Lime Living Apartments are located near the centre of Cannon Hill in Brisbane’s East. The CBD is about six km away, the airport 10km and the Gateway Motorway is just 2km from the complex – the latter provides access to both the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

The surrounding suburbs are Murarrie, Morningside and Tingalpa.

Cannon Hill is within close proximity to Brisbane’s CBD. The suburb also offers green space such as The Murrarie Recreation Reserve and Bill Cash Memorial.

Cannon Hill has a vast array of public transport facilities. There is a major bus interchange nearby. Two train stations are within proximity: Cannon Hill just a two-minute walk and Murrarie, both on the Cleveland Line. For car drivers, Creek Road and Wynnum Road are two arterial routes in the immediate vicinity. The Gateway Motorway – which provides access to the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast – is a two-minute drive away. Brisbane Airport is about a 10-minute drive.

Lime Apartments is located on Wynnum Road which is a main arterial to the city. While this is a benefit for transport convenience, the road can be extremely busy – particularly at peak travel times of early morning and evening.  As a result, while apartments furthest from Wynnum Road will likely to be buffeted from the noise, the apartments facing the road may not.

It is less than a five minute walk to Cannon Hill Plaza, Kmart, Coles and Homemaker City. Within minutes by foot to the new East Village dining and retail precinct. Oxford Street’s dining and boutiques are within close proximity. The development is also adjacent to Southgate Corporate Park.  Wynnum Hospital is around 11km away.

Major infrastructure is experiencing a renewal including the Australia Trade Coast, a Gateway Motorway Upgrade, Cannon Hills Community Links Golf Course, Belmont Private Hospital extension, Carina Leagues Club alterations and Centro Whites Hill Shopping Centre.

There’s a good choice of schools in near surrounds. These include Cannon Hill Anglican College, a private prep to year 12 school. Another private school is St Oliver Plunkett Primary. There is also Cannon Hill State School, Balmoral State High School and Murrarie State School.

Quality & Finishes

The interior design of the apartments will have clean white tones used on the cabinetry and on the walls which are contrasted against the light and earthy tones on the flooring.

There will be floorboards in the kitchen area,  carpets in the living areas and bedrooms. A darker colour palette for stronger contrasts is also available including mocha-coloured floor tiles and carpets. Instead of a white splashback in the kitchen, it is charcoal.

High ceilings at 2.6 metres is another benefit of Lime Living’s design.

Fixtures are of good quality and appliances are Bosch. There is spilt-system airconditioning which is energy efficient.

All apartments come with secure basement car parking.
