Rothelowman's top five Queensland apartment developments in 2023
Playing a key role in meeting the residential demand in Australia’s Sunshine State, Rothelowman made a significant contributed to Gold Coast and Brisbane in 2023, with one project reaching completion and many more being submitted for development approval and breaking ground.
As experts in living, Rothelowman’s growing portfolio of premium residential projects in Queensland across both build-to-sell and build-to-rent typologies, brings a new standard of liveability and connectivity to the
rapidly evolving cities.
We've wrapped up Rothelowman's top five Queensland apartment developments in 2023.
Project: Trellis
Address: 20 Edmondstone Street, South Brisbane QLD 4101
Opening its doors to residents in 2023, Trellis by Aria sold all 110 two- and three-bedroom apartments well before the tower reached completion.
Awarded the title of Aria's most liveable and sustainable project to date, each dwelling features soaring three-metre-high ceilings, generously proportioned floor plans, unrivalled amenity and a rooftop where the 25-metre infinity pool and hot and cold magnesium baths reside.
Queenslander-style balconies wrap around each apartment for natural airflow and ventilation, accentuated by generously proportioned floor plans, three-metre high ceilings, and timber flooring. Cross-flow ventilation corridors, operable architectural screen doors and double-glazed glass reduce reliance on ducted air-conditioning.
The $60 million project, which also features a private wine bar and lounge, a resident wine cellar, and a boardroom and podcast room, sits on Edmondstone Street, located adjacent to Musgrave Park, one of Brisbane’s oldest and most iconic parklands.

Situated in the heart of Brisbane's West End, Casamia by Aria is a boutique collection of 44 two-, three- and four-bedroom homes. The Spanish-inspired tower uses natural materials, organic patterns and curved shapes unlike anything else seen in Brisbane's skyline.

Project: Ann Street
Address: 801 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006
EG Funds recently submitted a development application for two Rothelowman-designed towers on Ann Street in Fortitude Valley - a 326- apartment build-to-rent tower and a 225-apartment build-to-sell tower.
801 Ann will create a vertical neighbourhood centred on community and well-being whilst delivering much-needed housing to the growing city of Brisbane.
A network of landscaped communal spaces connects the two towers, tying them together using a lattice of sub-tropical plantings.
Project: The Allere Collection
Address: Mollison Street, West End QLD 4101
Rothelowman designed Sekisui House Australia's The Allere Collection in the multi-award winning masterplan West Village. The Allere Collection was Urban.com.au's most popular apartment development in Queensland in 2023.
Comprising two vertical communities, Uno and Duo, the 203-apartment The Allere Collection was released to the market off the back of the group's previously sold-out building in the precinct, Altura.
Fronting Mollison Street, Uno will comprise 94 residences and two levels of commercial space, and Duo, set above the West Village retail precinct, homing 109 apartments to a design which Rothelowman describes as "a bold and classic take on the quintessential Queenslander."
