Callista on Park marks the final chapter of West Village as construction gets underway

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: Sekisui House Australia
• Builder: Hutchinson Builders
• Address: 49 Mollison St, West End, QLD 4101
• No. of Residences: 96
• Home Types: 3- and 4-bedroom apartments currently selling
• Estimated Completion Date: Mid-2027

Construction is now officially underway on Callista on Park, the final residential building in Sekisui House Australia’s decade-long transformation of West End’s historic Peters Ice Cream Factory site into the award-winning West Village community.

With completion anticipated for mid-2027, this milestone sets the stage for the full realisation of the precinct’s masterplan, one that has already reshaped inner-city living in Brisbane.

As the eighth and final tower, Callista on Park will complete a vision that has been steadily unfolding since 2015. The result will be almost 1,000 new homes, extensive green spaces, a thriving retail and dining precinct, and a neighbourhood now celebrated nationwide for design, sustainability, and community-building.

With the last remaining residences selling, you can be part of it all.

A precinct built on heritage, craftsmanship, and long-term partnership

Hutchinson Builders, who have delivered every stage of West Village, will once again lead construction. The moment holds particular significance for Chairman Scott Hutchinson, who reflects on the company’s near century-long connection to West End.

“Hutchies has actually been part of West End since the 1920s when we had our original yard on Montague Road,” he said.

“We’ve also had a long history with the site, having worked on the original Peters ice cream building in 1943, and since 2015, we’ve built every stage of the new West Village precinct, including the refurbishment of the ice cream factory.

“It’s a bit surreal to be starting this final stage.

“The whole Hutchies team is very proud to have played a part in such an iconic mixed-use precinct that is close to our hearts.”

For Sekisui House Australia, the start of construction represents both a culmination and a continuation.

“We are proud to extend our trusted 10-year partnership with Hutchinson Builders to complete this visionary community, cementing West Village as one of Brisbane’s most celebrated urban renewal projects,” said West Village’s project director, Taku Hashimoto.

Callista on Park: the final opportunity within West Village

Designed by locally based, award-winning architects Rothelowman, the 14-storey tower will deliver 96 residences, including expansive three- and four-bedroom layouts that respond to strong demand for larger, low-maintenance homes in the inner city.

Here, many apartments enjoy generous balconies and northern or eastern aspects, with views toward the CBD and down Melbourne Street.

Its rooftop conservatory is set to become one of the building’s defining features. Designed to be a serene retreat, this space is shaped by wildflowers, undulating greenery, and thoughtfully curated amenities, including an infinity pool, spa, BBQ areas, lounge, and private dining room.

Located beside Mollison Park, Callista on Park boasts a coveted 99/100 Walk Score, placing residents moments from the precinct’s retail, dining, and wellness offerings. With the River Walk connecting seamlessly to Southbank and the Brisbane CBD, everyday life becomes effortlessly connected.

A decade of awards and a legacy that will continue to grow

West Village has accumulated an impressive list of over 59 awards over recent years, recognising its sustainability initiatives, adaptive reuse of heritage buildings, and community-focused design. These include:

• Winner of Retail Development Excellence 2023 from The Property Council of Australia 
• Winner of World’s Most Beautiful Shopping Malls 2023 from Prix Versailles
• Winner of Landscape Architecture Awards Civic Spaces 2022 from The Australian Institute of Architects 
• And many more…

As Callista On Park tops out in 2027, the precinct will not simply be complete, it will be at its most established. Gardens will be mature, community life even richer, and the heritage-led design intent more evident than ever.

As Taku puts it, “There will never be another opportunity like it at West Village.”

Three- and four-bedroom residences are selling, priced from $2,617,500 for a three-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms, one study, and two car parking spaces.
