A new apartment development located away from the hustle and bustle of West End, Amersham consists of 24 two and three-bedroom apartments. Tucked away on Amersham Street, a cul-de-sac, the apartments are a block away from all the action that is in the inner city suburb of West End.

Timber flooring in the main areas of the apartments and curved wall edges that increase the amount of light let into space are examples of this. As mentioned, the apartments come in two and three-bedroom configurations, with north, east or west-facing frontages (or a combination, as is the case in some three-bedroom apartments).

Brisbane Skytower adds 1141 new apartments to the Brisbane market, spread across the 89 floors of the building. The project is valued at $376 million dollars and took 160 weeks to build upon completion. It is the tallest residential building in Brisbane and the second tallest in Queensland, only beaten out by Q1 thanks to the spire (which some say is cheating when it comes to skyscrapers). The building is triangular, with double-glazed full height glass walls reflecting the Brisbane sky throughout the day, sunset and evening. This glass is also designed to help keep noise to a minimum. The triangular shape of the building also maximises views of the river and the Botanic Gardens. Of the residents that have moved in, there is a mix of owner-occupiers and investors, with the majority being investors. As well as long-term leasing options, there is also short-term hotel stays available at Brisbane Skytower which is managed through Song Properties.

1141 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments priced from $492,000 when the project first went to market.
