Aria Property Group: Check out the team behind Trellis and their award-winning track record
Brisbane-based ARIA Property Group has consistently delivered not only popular developments, but those recognized officially as best-in-show for quality across Queensland and all of Australia by the UDIA, HIA, PCA, AIA and more.
ARIA Property Group founder and managing director Tim Forrester said that since its inception in 2003, Aria’s vision has been to create iconic residential and retail projects that we will be proud to walk our families past in 20 years’ time. Aria take great pride in the unique character, creativity and longevity of our projects and the leading role they play in the communities in which they reside.
They consistently work hand in hand with some of Australia's most decorated architects and interior designers recognising the need for top-of-the line expertise in every part of a development.
For three years, through 2017, 2018 and 2019, Aria was recognised by the UDIA as the Best High Density Developer in Australia. They have an even stronger track record in Queensland, awarded Best in Queensland in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012 and 2009.
Some of their most decorated developments include Oxley + Stirling Residences which won 11 awards across a sweeping range of categories. The South Brisbane apartment tower where residents get free bicycles, newspapers and yoga classes was created in collaboration with the decorated team at Elenberg Fraser.
A recent example of their success is the winning of two awards at the 2021 QLD Master Builders Award for its West End apartment development, Tree House. Tree House, designed by Rothelowman, won the overall 2021 QLD Master Builders Award for Residential (Regional), as well as the award for residential high-rise building over $20 million.
Their latest project is Trellis, billed as their most sustainable development to date. Filled with, as one might expect trellises, Aria's sustainable efforts extend to more than just a green thumb.
The four key areas of focus for Trellis’s sustainability initiatives include landscaping and greenery, electricity, water and the apartments themselves, all with the goal of putting their best environmentally friendly foot forward, as has been a growing trend across their recent developments.
Aria has aimed to offset 100% of common area electricity costs, reducing reliance on air-conditioning, incorporating 60,000L of rainwater tanks and more like Tesla battery and wall charging.
All 110 of the two and three bedroom apartments in the 12 story building are have been designed by Rothelowman.
The 20 Edmondstone Street apartment building is home to more than 1,100 sqm of community amenity across the Residents’ Rooftop Club on level 13 and the Temple of Wellness on the ground floor.
Set for completion in mid-2023, construction will be undertaken by the team at McNab Construction.
As the latest in their line of South Brisbane developments, Trellis takes inspiration from wide open spaces used in previous developments with a sweeping 590 sqm lobby and three metre high ceilings in the apartments themselves.
