Veue Central: Inside the latest stage of Sekisui's $1 billion Norwest masterplan, The Orchards

In the heart of the bustling West End district, Sekisui House Australia's West Village has garnered widespread attention from prospective homeowners.

Their latest release in the thriving precinct, which kicked off development way back in 2014 and has won over 50 local and international awards, is The Allere Collection, which comprises two side-by-side towers, Uno and Duo.

Sekisui has sold over 85 per cent of apartments in the two buildings, which present one of the last chances to buy into the masterplan. Sekisui only has one more tower left, which won't launch until next year, and is all three-bedroom apartments.

Uno and Duo, currently under construction, will&nbsp;integrate seamlessly into the thriving West Village community, which is already a fully functioning, active village.

The two towers, due to be completed in late 2024, stands as a testament to Sekisui's decade-long commitment to transforming the revered Peters Ice Cream factory site into an award-winning urban haven.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=210749]

Central to the allure of this 2.6-hectare precinct are the heritage-listed former Peters Ice Cream factories, standing as a reminder of the area's industrial heritage. West Village will comprise 1,200 residences when it's completed.

Complementing the residences is a generous offering of amenities, including 20,000 sqm of commercial space, an expansive 18,000 sqm retail precinct, and a one-hectare expanse of open parklands and heritage laneways.

The appeal of The Allere Collection has extended across a diverse range of demographics, resonating with first home buyers, pet owners, and both young and established families.

The Collection's prime location on Mollison Street, in close proximity to seven schools, enhances its allure among families seeking convenient access to education hubs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204872]

Designed by the renowned architecture firm Rothelowman, both Uno and Duo towers soar 20 storeys above the West End precinct, offering a harmonious blend of contemporary aesthetics and functional design. What sets The Allere Collection apart is its unique proposition of dual amenity access. Residents will have the privilege of enjoying shared access to the rooftop offerings of both Uno and Duo towers.

The Uno tower stands as an oasis in the sky, featuring a rooftop pool, an enclosed dining space, seating areas, a thoughtfully designed vegetable garden, and a conservatory. Adding a touch of luxury for four-legged friends, the 'Paw Pavilion' serves as an off-leash dog space, ensuring furry companions can relish the outdoors without leaving the comfort of the rooftop.

The Duo tower boasts its own set of rooftop delights, including a pool, a heated spa for relaxation, an enclosed lounge room and dining area for social gatherings, and outdoor barbecue facilities paired with sun loungers for a seamless blend of leisure and entertainment.

How Sekisui House Australia's West Village has transformed Brisbane's West End Precinct

The final apartments in the penultimate towers of Sekisui's West End masterplan, West Village, are now being sold.

The Allere Collection, which comprises two side-by-side towers Uno and Duno, is over 85 per cent sold. They'll be joining a thriving, well established community when they're completed in late 2024, a decade after Sekisui started the award-winning redevelopment of the much-loved Peters Ice Cream factory site.

The Allere Collection has proven popular with a variety of demographics, from first home buyers, pet owners, and young and established families, given the Mollison Street project sits within close proximity to seven schools.

Both Uno and Duo have been designed by renowned architecture firm Rothelowman, and rise 20 storeys above the West End precinct.

Residents within the Allere Collection will also have the benefit of enjoying double the amenity, with shared access to both Uno and Duo rooftops.

Crowning the Uno tower will be a pool, enclosed dining space, seating areas, a vegetable garden, conservatory, as well as ‘Paw Pavilion’ - an off leash dog space on the rooftop.&nbsp;Topping Duo will be a pool, heated spa, enclosed lounge room and dining space, along with outdoor barbecue facilities and sun loungers.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=207148]

The Allere Collection offers an incredibly connected lifestyle for it's resident which not many other projects can offer in the whole of Brisbane, given a large part of the extensive 2.6 hectare masterplan is dedicated to creating a connected village vibe.

A full-line Woolworths supermarket ensures easy access to daily essentials, while Harris Farm Markets provides fresh produce. Goodlife Health Clubs cater to fitness needs, and a chemist and medical centre offer comprehensive healthcare services.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204843]

There's over 25 food and lifestyle providers which offers a diverse range of dining and leisure options.

Art and culture enthusiasts will find delight in the on-site Metro Arts Theatre Precinct, hosting regular performances by renowned organisations such as Opera Queensland and Queensland's Chamber Orchestra, Camerata.&nbsp;

Nestled within a living heritage village that pays homage to the iconic Peters Ice Cream and Cone Factories, The Allere Collection embraces its rich history. Built in 1920, the factories have become an integral part of the village's charm and character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

Sustainability lies at the core of The Allere Collection's ethos. The development incorporates various initiatives to minimise its environmental impact and create a harmonious living space.&nbsp;As a 6-star Green Star Community, it sets a new standard for environmentally friendly living. Tinted windows help reduce heat gain and energy bills, while rainwater tanks and plumbing for a greywater recycling system contribute to water conservation. A 21kW solar PV system generates renewable energy for communal areas, reducing the community's reliance on traditional power sources.

Expansive green spaces provide residents with a connection to nature, while sustainability measures are integrated throughout the community. The Walk Score of 99 out of 100 signifies the high level of walkability and accessibility.

Sekisui launch fourth stage at Norwest masterplanned community, The Orchards

Brisbane's off the plan property market led the country in sales comparative to how much stock is on the market, according to Urbis' Apartment Essentials National Snapshot Q1 2023.

Brisbane just edged the Gold Coast having the highest sales rate as a percentage. Nearly a fifth of apartments that were on the market sold in Q1.

Sydney and Perth were just below the 10 per cent mark, while Melbourne had the largest gap with just five per cent of apartments selling compared to how many are on the market.

<img alt="Brisbane Q1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="81fa8299-1584-4fda-8cb9-b0889a7f574e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%208.33.22%20am.png?VersionId=WWA34iAicIoYMjKHpZMnlSfnL_cyK3cM" />

Brisbane was pushed to the highest sales to supply rate due to two projects in Toowong.

Mosaic's The Prescott, which is only in its presale phase, secured 94 sales in Q1 with an average sale price of $973,000. There's only 100 apartments in the Lissner Street development.

The next best performer was Monarch Residences, the recently launched project by Don O'Rorke's Consolidated Properties. They scored 75 sales in Q1, at an average sale price of just over $1 million. Nine apartments in the development have sold for over $4 million.

They've got 224 apartments across the two towers, which Hutchinsons Builders have just started constructing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211492]

James MacGinley, Head of Residential at Consolidated Properties Group, said the key to selling in the current market is really understanding the buyer demographic.

"At Monarch Residences, we have split our penthouse collection between the top floors and the lower level along the riverfront.

"This decision was made to appeal to two distinct groups of buyers - those wanting a traditional penthouse with horizon views, and those looking for a ‘river home’ with the benefits of apartment living."

Mirvac's Isle Waterfront project in Newstead, which is currently under construction, secured 21 sales in Q3 as it approaches sell out. The ASX-listed developer has sold over 110 apartments to date, at an average sale price of $1.261 million.

<img alt="Brisbane Q1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fe488c7b-90e0-4a06-b2be-25eec93ab903" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%208.36.04%20am.png?VersionId=sgv7Ic3oxTsVdoSlngtQb_znnMqwWMWz" />

Sekisui's giant West Village masterplan has performed consistently well ever since the national developer started the masterplan over seven years ago.

Their sixth and seventh tower in the masterplan, Uno and Duo, which make up the Allere Collection both saw continued sales through Q1 2023. Uno, which has 94 apartments, secured 19 sales in the first three months of the year, and it's neighbouring Uno tower had 16 sales.

Both buildings, designed by Rothelowman, are under construction and have just over 20 apartments left in each. Two-bedroom apartments are still available, priced from $860,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=207148]

One of the five-bedroom penthouses made headlines earlier this year when it sold for $7,016,000, a record for West End.

The Allere Collection will be the penultimate opportunity to buy into the thriving $1.1 billion community. Only one more tower will rise from the West End precinct, Callista on Park, which will comprise 74 three and four-bedroom apartments.

Since kicking off the development of West Village seven years ago, on the site of the landmark Peter's Ice Cream factory, the $1.2 billion village has&nbsp;won more than 50 awards, the most recent being the&nbsp;internationally renowned 2022 ULI APAC Award for Excellence.

Seldom does an opportunity come around to live in a penthouse designed by one of Australia's most renowned architecture firms.

Even rarer is it that you can design the floorplan yourself.

That's what Sekisui&nbsp;House&nbsp;Australia is offering atop the Uno building,&nbsp;one of the two vertical communities in The Allere Collection, part of their award-winning West End masterplan, West Village.

Rothelowman, in collaboration with Sekisui House Australia’s development team, have shared a sneak peek of just one of the custom floorplan layouts, which spreads across the whole of Uno's 19th level.&nbsp;

It spans a massive 650 sqm of internal floor space,&nbsp;as well&nbsp;as featuring seven balconies to take in the sweeping 360 degree views.&nbsp;

The floorplan incorporates four bedrooms, three in the guest wing and one master suite set privately on the other side of the apartment. The master will have its own sauna, spa, sitting room, and balcony. The bedrooms in the guest wing, each with their own ensuites and walk-in wardrobes, have a shared rumpus room. They sit the other side of a home gym and treatment room.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="80432963-eb04-4b9d-81e8-842576589b0c" href="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-08%20at%208.47.34%20am.png?VersionId=H4iwfBcU4DU.EJ.wQYNRt4JRqBQcQ7W5"><img alt="Sekisui penthouse" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="80432963-eb04-4b9d-81e8-842576589b0c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-08%20at%208.47.34%20am.png?VersionId=H4iwfBcU4DU.EJ.wQYNRt4JRqBQcQ7W5" /></a>

&nbsp;

The primary living space, which is separated from the kitchen and dining area with a&nbsp;central fireplace,&nbsp;is located on the south-east corner of the penthouse, so it takes in views of both Roma St Parklands and the Brisbane River, as well as the city skyline.

The kitchen, with two butler's pantries and full width island bench, has its own balcony. The largest balcony is off the living area, and that's equipped with a full outdoor barbecue and alfresco dining space.

Completing the penthouse, between the living area and the master suite, is a room pitched as a bar with a wine cellar, complete with, you guessed it, another balcony.

Through the foyer and past the private lift entry is a library space, and a home office.

The unique prospect Sekisui is offering is that any room can be anything.

Colette Chester, Chief Sales Officer for West Village, says the penthouse is a proposition rarely ever seen in the Brisbane apartment market.

“We’re in a very fortunate position to be able to offer purchasers the chance to redesign this penthouse level to suit their bespoke needs," Chester says.

"It’s very rare and exciting to be able to offer personal appointments with the architects to create the specific plan purchasers have always wanted, with customisable premium finishes.”

‘Should a buyer want to work with Rothelowman, they can make the most of the sweeping views across every part of the city, from the CBD skyline, the Brisbane River, to Roma St Parklands, and as far as Mt Cootha.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204872]

Topping the UNO tower is a luxury infinity pool (pictured main) with views similar to the penthouse. Residents will also have access to the swimming pool crowning DUO.

There's plenty of confidence in The Allere Collection, with construction powering ahead and over 75 per cent of residences now sold.

One of the five-bedroom penthouses made headlines earlier this year when it sold for $7,016,000, a record for West End.

Since kicking off the development of West Village seven years ago, on the site of the landmark Peter's Ice Cream factory, the $1.2 billion village has&nbsp;won more than 50 awards, the most recent being the&nbsp;internationally renowned 2022 ULI APAC Award for Excellence.

Last October, Sekisui House Australia submitted plans for the eighth and final residential offering in West Village.&nbsp;Dubbed Callista on Park, the residences will have just 74 apartments, with the majority being three and four-bedroom configurations, with a small handful of spectacular penthouses.

The national architecture firm Rothelowman, led locally by Duncan Betts, have put together a mock floorplan for the whole of level 19 in the tower

Sekisui to offer ultimate tailored, Rothelowman-designed penthouse in West Village

There's a certain magnetic vibrancy at Sekisui House Australia's multi award-winning West End community, West Village.

The $1.2 billion community, which is heading towards its final stages having kicked off way back in 2016, is well and truly thriving, with most of the retail precinct completed, packed full of specialty retailers, fresh food grocers, cafes, and restaurants.

Community events are taking place in the numerous communal spaces, everything from Creative Kids to Metro Arts performances. A day spa, Soak Bathhouse, opened on the site a few months ago, and Ippin Japanese, a fine dining restaurant, will open its doors in April.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

A number of residents have already moved in to their apartments, which were built in the earlier stages of the redevelopment of the landmark Peter's Ice Cream Factory site.

Time is fast running out to secure an apartment in the sought-after precinct, with the penultimate residential phase, The Allere Collection, now 75 per cent sold.

Two towers, Uno and Duo, make up The Allere Collection. They both kicked off construction in November and are expected to be finished by late 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204872]

One of the five-bedroom penthouses made headlines earlier this year when it sold for $7,016,000, a record for West End.

The penthouse, one of four&nbsp;planned for the Allere Collection, features a huge entertainer's kitchen with Carrara stone and a butler's pantry, kitted out with either premium Miele or V-Zug appliances. The penthouse neighbour is for sale for just under $7 million.

The configurations and design of The Allere Collection lends itself to the family buyer, either young growing families, or multi-generational families. Empty nesters and grandparents are also finding the residences cater for what they require, given the extensive family friendly precinct and amenity on their doorstep.

The three-bed flex residences, which have two full bedrooms and a multi-purpose room, have an internal living space of 100 sqm, is attracting both growing families and the downsizer, given the limited opportunity for new, three-bedroom residences in the area.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a3570113-41a3-483d-ab33-f33503224b39" href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-allere-collection-west-village-mollison-street-west-end"><img alt="Sekisui" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="081ee353-62ac-4583-a585-5baecfdde7f2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Sekisui%20Floorplan.jpg?VersionId=qsl3eZjlO1Xrd8eHd03uAsmhYXtGQ0lG" /></a> 
The three-bedroom apartments from $1.95 million

It's the same case for the limited selection of four-bedroom residences. According to property data firm CoreLogic, there's only a handful of four-bedroom apartments in the whole of South Brisbane.
