Construction set for riverfront homes a decade in the making

Eight joined lots, two 15-storey towers, with 215 homes in the heart of the city are set to begin construction after a decade of planning.

Luxury developer Pikos Group will next week launch its second riverfront project in Brisbane, Gaia in Kangaroo Point, as it prepares to commence construction.

The name Gaia means connected to nature, with the project situated on a riverfront site.

Gaia will offer residents access to a private parkland and wellness retreat, with the aim of creating a unique living experience that seamlessly blends urban luxury with natural surroundings.

Pikos Group founder and executive director, Pedro Pikos, said Gaia was more than a decade in the making.

Pikos Group’s second riverfront project in Brisbane will be Gaia in Kangaroo Point, with the development launching next week.

“Since 2014, we have amalgamated eight individual lots to open up over 5300sq m of pure river frontage and deliver an unrepeatable opportunity to create high-end apartments and sprawling green spaces that connect with their natural and urban settings,” he said.

“Gaia will deliver a mix of 215 two-, three- and four-bedroom residences across two stunning 15-storey residential towers, complete with world-class amenities and connectivity to Brisbane’s pedestrian bridges.”

Pikos Group chief executive, Michelle Wooldridge, said Gaia, designed by DKO Architecture, would become a luxury urban retreat merging city living with riverside tranquillity.

Gaia will feature a mix of 215 two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments across two 15-storey residential towers.

“Gaia’s residences will be complemented by the city’s largest private parkland community featuring over 20 wellness and leisure zones exclusively for use by residents,” she said.

“We are excited to deliver such a unique opportunity and level of amenity so close to the heart of Brisbane.

“Over one-and-a-quarter acres, the site provides unprecedented space for extensive amenity and allows residents to be not just connected to nature but immersed in their surrounds.

“Within the parkland, we have incorporated over 20 wellness and leisure zones, including a riverside pool and pool terrace with hot and cold plunge pools, set amongst the landscaped gardens.

Amenities on offer will include access to a private parkland, 20 wellness and leisure zones including a riverside pool and pool terrace with hot and cold plunge pools; indoor/outdoor gymnasium, rooftop entertaining spaces and an outdoor cinema.

“The site itself is incredibly tranquil and embraces this quiet pocket of the river.

“With the completion of the city’s newest green bridge, the Kangaroo Point peninsula will soon enjoy enhanced connectivity, providing effortless walking access to Brisbane CBD while maintaining its peaceful, secluded atmosphere.”

Additional amenities include an indoor/outdoor gymnasium, rooftop entertaining spaces, garden workshop, yoga lawn, outdoor cinema, private dining room, and work-from-home lounge.

Both residential towers at Gaia have been oriented to capture sweeping views of the city and river, with all apartments featuring luxury internal finishes of natural stone, timber flooring and premium appliances.

Gaia is set to blend urban luxury with natural surroundings.

Gaia is Pikos Group’s second Kangaroo Point development, following the launch of the ultra-luxe Skye by Pikos under construction at River Tce.

Pikos Group is a privately-owned Brisbane-based development and investment group, which has operated for more than 35 years.

With a $2.7bn property portfolio, it has been responsible for large-scale residential subdivisions, luxury high-rise towers and commercial office and retail developments.
