A Brisbane developer has adapted to customer demands and included four and five-bedroom apartments in its seven-storey development planned for Indooroopilly in the city’s inner west.
Plans for the mixed-use development, dubbed The Audrey, originally offered 21 two-bedroom apartments and 14 three-bedroom units.
However, developers Savve Development and Construction said that previous experience building for owner-occupiers helped the team to identify buyers’ needs and expectations “within the downsizing western suburbs demographics”.
“The design intention for The Audrey was based on a smaller boutique-sized development of just 35 two and three-bedroom apartments,” Savve principal Sandro Alberti said.
“However, some of the first buyers asked if they could join two apartments to create larger homes that afforded more privacy and secluded places within the apartment itself.
“Some rooms have been redefined as a media room, reading room and home office. The new layouts have certainly added individualised new spaces.
“The trend to de-clutter and simplify our lifestyles continues, we are also seeing a strong demand to customise new apartments.”
There are now four and five-bedroom layouts available.
Rooftop communal areas include a lap pool and barbecue areas, and there will be space for a food and drink premises on the ground floor.
Parking for 80 cars is provided within ground-level and basement carparking.
The existing homes and a commercial site are being demolished to make way for the development.
Savve development vehicle and landowner Clarence Rd Pty Ltd brought in Prospect Architecture and Tam Dang Planning for the development, which covers an area of 1214sq m.
The site at 107-113 Clarence Road is 7km from the CBD and close to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre.
Indooroopilly is experiencing growing activity with developments under way and deals being made in the area.
A stake in the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre hit the market last year, and there have been a number of low and medium-density developments, such as TRK Property’s apartment development, plans for which were submitted in July 2022.
