Murarrie Comes of Age in Riverside Townhouse Shift

Murarrie Oliphant Street Townhouse DA hero

High-end townhouse plans have been filed for a riverside hub emerging from the shadows of its more upmarket neighbours in Brisbane’s east.

The proposal is for a contemporary three-storey scheme comprising 8 three-bedroom and 2 four-bedroom townhouses.

It has been lodged by an entity linked to Sydney-based developer Yi (Chet) Qiang’s VIMG Australia for a vacant 1214sq m site at 19-21 Oliphant Street, Murarrie.

Property records show the holding spanning two 607sq m lots was acquired in 2017 for $1.24 million and was initially approved for a 23-unit townhouse development. 

About 10km south-east of the Brisbane CBD—and surrounded by the more salubrious suburbs of Morningside, Bulimba and Hawthorne—Murarrie is an established residential and industrial suburb.

In more recent times, however, it has drawn increasing interest from residential developers and investors due to its location, relative affordability as well as infrastructure and urban renewal initiatives.

To be known as Monogram Murarrie, the latest scheme for the site at 19-21 Oliphant Street has been designed by Brisbane-based CPO Architects.

“Despite the narrow site, the design maximises sweeping views across the local neighbourhood, offering a sense of openness and tranquility,” a design statement said.

“Careful design decisions have been made to soften the building’s silhouette, ensuring it gracefully integrates into the streetscape while maintaining its elegant and premium presence.”

Each of the 10 townhouse units features a landscaped entry courtyard.

According to a planning report, the proposal does not include communal open space but it noted the site is within walking distance to the Murarrie Recreation Reserve, Cannon Hill Shopping Centre and 1km from public transport facilities such as Cannon Hill interchange and Murarrie train station.

Double garages under each unit would accommodate carparking for a total of 20 resident vehicles. Three additional onsite carparking spaces would be provided for visitors.
