First look: Cedar Woods unveils Vera apartments at Greville

Cedar Woods has officially broken ground on its latest residential development in Brisbane’s inner north, marking the launch of its first apartment collection at Greville following the successful sell-out of two townhome releases. 

Vera, a collection of 58 luxury apartments across six storeys, is the first of three apartment buildings planned within the masterplanned community in the historic suburb of Wooloowin.

Cedar Woods development director, Blair Britton, said Vera offers a selection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, with some offering views over the 4,000sqm parkland, while others boast stunning city vistas.

“We are thrilled to reach this significant milestone at Greville and are excited to deliver the first apartments within our masterplan,” Blair said. 

"Vera’s curated collection of residences, designed by leading architecture firm Rothelowman, represents a premium offering in the area. It features resort-style amenities that enhance the exceptional lifestyle on offer.

“With floorplans ranging from 78sqm to 122sqm, Vera caters to a range of buyers. Residents will have exclusive access to rooftop amenities, featuring a pool, BBQ and dining area and outdoor lounge area complete with a firepit offering incredible city views.

“Greville is quickly becoming a sought-after urban lifestyle precinct, with both new and established amenities, as well as convenient access to retail and transport, all contributing to a vibrant community.” Blair said.

Marchant ward councillor, Danita Parry, said the addition of Vera at the Greville masterplan would inject much-needed housing supply into Brisbane's inner north.

"Brisbane is one of Australia’s fastest-growing cities and projects like this help address the critical housing demand in our area,” Cr Parry said. 

“This project won’t just offer more housing options for people of all ages and abilities, it is already creating more to see and do, with the delivery of a new public park.

“Lord mayor Adrian Schrinner and I are proud to support projects like this that deliver more homes and make our lifestyle even better.”

Cedar Woods has appointed Emacen Projects to deliver Vera. Blair noted that the Brisbane-based builder would contribute to the ongoing activity on the 3.5ha site, with the first townhome collection completed and settled in late 2024, and construction on the second townhome collection nearing completion.

“We’re pleased to be partnering with Emacen on the delivery of Vera,” Blair said. 

“Their experienced, local team will help us bring even more high-quality homes to market.” 

Emacen Projects executive director, Mark Spry, said his team’s extensive experience in residential projects within Brisbane would contribute to the success of Vera and the broader Greville masterplan. 

“What excites us about Vera and the Greville masterplan is the high calibre of consultants and contractors already involved with the project, and Cedar Woods’ experience and deep understanding of the construction process,” Mark said.

“We have commenced early works on site and based on the current works program; our team will be completing construction in early 2027.

“We are fortunate to draw on a dedicated team with extensive experience in reputable Tier-1 organisations that have delivered some of Australia’s most celebrated projects, and bring the same focus on quality, established systems and processes to deliver Vera to the highest standard.” 

Located just 5km north of Brisbane’s CBD, Greville will evolve over the next five years, delivering a total of 84 townhomes, more than 200 apartments across three buildings, and an exclusive collection of heritage homes within the historic Holy Cross laundry building, originally constructed in the 1800s.

Greville’s first residents already have access to numerous community amenities, including a recreation area with a pool, BBQs, alfresco dining, and the 4,000sqm Greville Park, which opened in 2023. 

Following a successful coming soon campaign, 50% of Vera’s apartments are already under contract. 

Remaining apartments are priced from $874,000. Visit here to learn more.
