Located in the heart of St Lucia, one of Brisbane’s most sought-after suburbs, this recently completed high-rise building combines luxury, comfort, and convenience, only 2.5km from the CBD.

North-facing, this expansive sub-penthouse residence has never been lived in, delivering spectacular 180-degree views of the river and CBD and exclusive guest facilities. 

160 Macquarie was designed by renowned urban commercial architects, Rothelowman Architects, developed by QM Properties, and built by award-winning construction company, McNab Builders.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Rothelowman Principal Jeff Brown said, “The look and feel of 160 Macquarie reflect the essence of riverfront living."

"By carefully balancing heavy and light elements, we’ve crafted a building that feels embedded in its environment yet subtly reveals moments of openness, offering a curated journey through space that residents can fully engage with.”

“There is nothing available brand new, never been lived in before, of this calibre in Brisbane at the moment, other than in this building,” Simon Wheelans told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Only 34 residences share the exclusive access amenities, which are state of the art, with an infinity pool on the river, rooftop lounge, private dining room with catering facilities, cinema, gym, outdoor cooking station with bar table overlooking the river,” he explained. 

“Totalling 246sqm (approx.), encompassing 4 bedrooms (or 3 bedrooms plus a home office), the views are incredible, as it is centrally located on a straight section of the river. Left and right, the river views are stunning, with unobstructed CBD views directly ahead. It also includes 3 car parks and a private storage room.”

Inside, floor to ceiling glass walls and windows embrace the sensational Brisbane River, CBD and suburban views throughout the residence.

Interiors feature engineered timber flooring and oaring ceilings throughout, a statement of class and sophistication.

The layout is open plan, with living, dining and kitchen seamlessly connected to the north facing entertaining balcony, where an approximately 34sqm covered alfresco features an all-weather built-in outdoor cooking station and includes a wine fridge, exhaust fan, sink and Beefeater BBQ.
