Construction updates

December 2019: Urbane Albion is now sold out. Some apartments may be available for resale. Please enquire below to find out more.

The Project

As we mentioned there are a total of 33 apartments over the two towers. The apartment mix is as follows:

1 x Bedroom : 3 Apartments

2 x Bedroom: 28 Apartments

3 x Bedroom: 2 Apartments

The design of the building is quite different and is definitely interesting There are two towers but they are connected by one foyer. Tower 1 – Anstey consists of 22 apartments and Tower 2 – Fordsham consists of 11 apartments. For people who want a bit more privacy, Tower 2 would be the better choice as there are fewer apartments per floor.

In regards to parking, all apartments come with a minimum of 1 car space, with a small number with two. There are also 8 designated visitor carparks on site which is important. On-street parking will prove to be an issue we believe as Anstey street is a very narrow street, providing a relatively limited number of parking opportunities. Parking in the surrounding streets such as Lever Street will pose an issue also as these surrounding streets are quite narrow as well.

The views from the higher, city facing apartments will be quite nice, getting an excellent and unimpeded view of the Brisbane city skyline. The non-city facing apartments will have suburban views over Albion but will also look into some neighbouring buildings as well.

There are no standout resident amenities at Urbane such as a pool or rooftop gardens, both of which are quite common in similarly sized apartment buildings in Brisbane at the moment.

The balconies on some apartments, as you can see in the above floor plans, are quite large. We particularly like the design on the larger 3 bedroom apartments that have a large wrap around balcony which will facilitate a very open and airy living space. It will also allow cross breezes to flow through the apartment, a big plus and a design feature we always look out for here at Propertymash.com. For a subtropical city, unfortunately, this is a rarer feature than you would expect.

Location

Urbane is located at 34 Anstey street, Albion. Albion is a small suburb in Brisbane’s Inner north-east. Suburbs that boarder Albion are Ascot, Newstead and Windsor. Albion is located approximately 5 km from the Brisbane CBD and takes 15 minutes to travel to the CBD by car.

Location

Albion consists of many heritage buildings and is one of Brisbane’s older suburbs. Approximately 2,000 people reside in Albion with the average age of 33.

Urbane is located in a small street off Sandgate Road, which is a main, and very busy road. This road can be particularly hectic come peak hour and school traffic times. Anstey street is a one-way street that is very narrow and can only be accessed via Sandgate Road. If you are travelling to Urbane Apartments from the city it is very hard to get into Anstey street as you cannot access it from the left side of the road. You have to travel at least 500m to turn into a side street then get back onto Sandgate road, which is quite difficult due to the constant traffic on Sandgate road.
