Living by the water is something us Brisbanites have the privilege to do — whether it’s by the beach, by the bay or by the river. Life in this River City of ours really does revolve around the water, and it’s not just because of the seemingly endless summer weather. Residing by the waterside gives even the most inner-city abode the perception of space as well as those sought-after breezes and views. Much more than just the ‘status-symbol’ of being able to afford property on the waterfront, it’s about cultivating the “ideal” Queensland lifestyle, and waterfront living is one way to do that.
In Brisbane, there are several new off-the-plan developments for sale that are perched right on the water, providing buyers with the chance to snap up an apartment that is bound to change the face of Brisbane. From the city to the coast, here are the top 5 waterfront properties you can buy today in Brisbane.
Located directly on the banks of the Brisbane River, right in the heart of the city, 443 Queen Street will bring a new level of luxury to the riverfront in Brisbane. With one, two, three and four-bedroom waterfront apartments available, the river views from the floor-to-ceiling glass in the apartments are outstanding. In addition to this, the full-floor recreation area and infinity-edge pool also offer spectacular views which can be enjoyed by all residents.
Apartments at 443 Queen Street start from $725,000.
Sitting right on the cliffs at Kangaroo Point, Banyan Tree Residences offer some of the best views, not only of the river but also of the city. River-facing property here starts at $1,215,000 for a two-bedroom apartment. Construction on Banyan Tree Residences is expected to commence this year and will offer buyers a never-before-seen level of luxury in Brisbane.
Apartments at Banyan Tree Residences start from $550,000.

This project has already been very popular with buyers, with only 5 waterfront apartments remaining. This boutique complex offers very large floor plans with balconies sized between 49 sqm and 63 sqm, so there’s plenty of space to enjoy the ocean breezes and sea views.

Currently under construction on Byron Street, the ONE Bulimba Riverfront project consists of 6 three-bedroom penthouse waterfront apartments, 18 three-bedroom apartments and 6 townhouses.
