Loved by locals and visitors alike as one of Brisbane’s most vibrant cultural hotspots, West End is home to a smorgasbord of cafes, bars, and restaurants, right on the border of thriving Southbank and close to the CBD.

Fronting the Brisbane River, nestled in a tranquil haven of West End, is Rivara, a rare opportunity to call one of the city’s final true riverfront addresses home.

Developed and to be constructed by Traders In Purple, Rivara features a collection of 164 residences, including apartments, penthouses, terrace homes, and ultra luxurious river homes, located just three kilometres from the Brisbane CBD.

Residences for every lifestyle

Rivara’s mix of residences has been carefully considered to align with a range of demographics and lifestyles, from downsizers seeking a relaxed and active lifestyle, to city-based professionals and families looking to live within the Brisbane State High catchment. 

Two 12-level apartment buildings sit atop a wellness-focused garden podium with apartments and penthouses designed to take advantage of extraordinary river views from all levels, with an emphasis on wide frontage and dual aspect where possible.

20 terrace homes sleeve the perimeter of the site. With street frontage and their own private entry ways, they are designed to feel like standalone homes blended with beautiful interiors and expansive outdoor spaces.

The limited and exclusive collection of just 12 two-storey river homes presents an extraordinary opportunity to live on the river’s edge, a more luxurious alternative to an established house in Brisbane’s most dynamic suburb. The landscaped front courtyard overlooking the river extends the indoor living space and includes the ultimate indulgence, a private plunge pool.

Here, each residence has been designed from the inside out by award-winning architects Rothelowman, with interiors that prioritise liveability and natural flow. Expansive balconies frame sweeping views of the Brisbane River, Mt Coot-tha, Highgate Hill, Davies Park, and the city skyline, while open-plan living and dining areas bring a sense of calm and clarity to everyday life.

Kitchens are a home chef’s dream, featuring sculptural stone islands, premium appliances, and seamless cabinetry, while master suites provide generous walk-in wardrobes and elegant ensuites.

Buyers can also choose between two interior palettes: Sky or River, each inspired by the site’s natural surroundings.

Resort-style amenity at home

Life at Rivara extends far beyond your front door. A sprawling 2,900 sqm podium level brings together an enviable collection of resident amenities.

At its centre is a 20-metre resort-style pool, set against lush subtropical landscaping, designed for both quiet relaxation and lap swimming. Surrounding spaces include shaded lounging areas, an elegant private dining room with a full kitchen, a barbecue pavilion with a sunset terrace, and tranquil lawns.

For wellness, the dedicated Wellness Studio supports yoga, pilates, cardio, and weights, while the Wellness Grove offers magnesium hot and cold spas, a sauna, and an outdoor shower tucked among tropical greenery.

Practical touches like parcel lockers, bicycle storage, a residents’ car wash bay, and an on-site manager’s office make day-to-day living seamless.

As George Geagea, Traders In Purple’s executive director, said, “A once-in-a-lifetime riverfront location deserves special consideration and forethought, not just the design of the residences, but the spaces in between.”

Connected, yet in a world of its own

Rivara’s absolute riverfront location brings together the best of inner-Brisbane living. Step outside to riverside markets at Davies Park, vibrant cafes and dining precincts, riverfront walk and bike pathways, and an eclectic arts scene.

The cultural institutions of Southbank, including the GOMA, QPAC, and Queensland Theatre, are within easy reach, while Brisbane State High School, University of Queensland’s St Lucia campus, and Somerville House are nearby.

Supermarkets such as ALDI down the road and Coles West End a five-minute drive away, medical centres, and transport links complete the picture of convenience.

With a completion target of 2028, Rivara offers buyers the chance to secure a luxurious home in a once-in-a-lifetime riverfront setting, just three kilometers from the Brisbane CBD. Don’t miss out.

Two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences are selling at Rivara West End, priced from $1.45 million* for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, and one-car park apartment.
