Designs for a set of five riverfront apartments in Kangaroo Point have been unveiled, with the architects drawing from the nearby Story Bridge to create the “original” design, and developers asking almost $10 million per home.
The six-storey complex, named Heirloom, features one 340-square-metre apartment on each level, within which are four bedrooms that each have an ensuite, two living spaces and end-to-end, crescent-shaped outdoor terraces.
One storey of the building would be dedicated to an “exclusive wellness level” boasting a gym, sauna and cold plunge – which developer Molti said was modelled after luxury day spas and longevity centres.

Molti managing director Ben Teague said the development would sit on “one of the last riverfront sites in Kangaroo Point” at 4 MacDonald Street – a semi-triangular block about 200 metres from the southern end of the Story Bridge
“We’ve sought to bring conscious premium living to life here in a way that rewards both the purchaser and the community through a thoughtfully designed building that adds to the character and prestige of this area,” Teague said.

Designed by firms Bureau Proberts and Carr, the complex would use views of Brisbane’s CBD as its feature selling point – justifying starting prices at $9.5 million per home.
“Our design embraces the unique shape of the site, pushing the main living and sleeping areas to the building’s edge to maximise views north to the Story Bridge,” Bureau Proberts partner Andy Bell said.

Bell said the surrounding environment, in particular the nearby Story Bridge, inspired the building design – with its long crescent balconies that face the Brisbane River mimicking the Bridge’s shape.
“We set out to create something truly original – a building that belongs to Kangaroo Point and will endure for generations,” he said.
The 797-square-metre block is currently the site of an apartment complex featuring a half-dozen two-bedroom apartment, which last sold in mid-2024.
Sitting in a high-density residential zone, the new building is subject to a maximum height of eight storeys under Brisbane City Council planning models.

Developers said they weren’t concerned over the apartments’ focal-point city views being compromised, with only parkland and the suburban street sitting between the block and Brisbane River.
With construction expected to begin soon, following approvals earlier this year, the multimillion-dollar apartments were expected to go to market in mid-October.
