Brisbane’s residential sale price record was smashed in May when a riverfront mansion at 101 Welsby St, New Farm, fetched $20.5m, but the agents behind this property are expecting much more.

The Emporium Hotel South Bank was completed in 2018 at a cost of $600m by Anthony John Group and includes 143 suites and 91 private residences plus the unrivalled penthouse.

The penthouse comes with a 15m infinity-edge pool.

Bryce O’Connor and Philip Rand of YPM Group have been appointed to market the penthouse via an expressions of interest campaign on behalf of hotel and apartment moguls Tony and Francine John.

“The current owners have held the property since completion and feel now is the right time to sell the property,” Mr Rand said.

A huge, open-plan living area opens out to the balcony.

“The timing is fitting with the maturity of the prestige real estate market in Brisbane.

“If someone’s genuinely looking for the best real estate in Brisbane, this is it.”

Mr O’Connor said he expected the penthouse to attract international buyer attention with its luxury living and design, and the increasing demand for high-end apartments in Brisbane.

The walk-in wardrobe is as luxurious as you would expect.

“This penthouse brings with it all the trimmings of a five-star luxury hotel with unprecedented lifestyle additions that rival those enjoyed by the upper echelon in international cities like New York and Hong Kong,” Mr O’Connor said.

“The service offering that comes with this penthouse allows its owners to be waited on at a level just not available anywhere else in Queensland and arguably in Australia.

The view is even prettier at night.

“The inner-ring of Brisbane is a sought-after commodity as couples and families realise that

a backyard is not essential when the surrounding city itself provides the playground, and that

is particularly true at South Bank.

“South Bank itself has no new land available for new apartment buildings and due to the

South Bank Corporation Act, the views will never be built out making this penthouse a rare

treasure in a growth luxury space.”

The Emporium Hotel South Bank was completed in 2018 by Anthony John Group.

The penthouse faces north and east with an 82m frontage and a huge, outdoor space with adjoining billiard/entertainment room and bar.

Secret doors section off compartments to the main open plan living, dining and kitchen hub creating discreet spaces for guests.

The commercial-grade kitchen features Gaggenau and Subzero appliances and a Calacatta marble island bench.

Check out the view from the master ensuite.

There are three living areas, an executive office, a private bar with a Vintec wine fridge, and an outdoor kitchen.

The massive master bedroom has a stand-alone bath with views over the pool and out towards the river and city, and a drop-down TV.

The commercial-grade kitchen has it all.
