As summer settles into Brisbane, the appeal of an effortless European lifestyle feels especially timely. Long lunches, shaded piazzas, considered design, and spaces that encourage connection, these are the ideas that sit at the heart of ORO Newstead, set to become the tallest residential building in the beloved suburb.

Located at 75 Longland Street, ORO Newstead is the first residential tower within Newstead’s upcoming Little Italy precinct, placing future residents at the centre of a vibrant neighbourhood shaped by Italian-inspired dining, retail, and activated laneways. 

Developed and built by locally based developer, Panettiere Developments, the project reflects a deep connection to Italian heritage and craftsmanship, translated through contemporary architecture and refined interiors… a place you can call home.

A landmark for Newstead

“Oro,” meaning gold in Italian, is the name that directed the vision of the tower. The result? A striking façade with rich materiality and a golden palette. 

As the tallest residential building in Newstead, ORO Newstead’s sculptural, stepped form is designed to stand apart while remaining grounded in its urban context. Travertine-inspired materiality gives the tower a sense of permanence, while generous glazing brings light, views, and connection to the city beyond.

ORO Newstead introduces a new generation of design-led living in Brisbane, defined by its sculpted silhouette, house-scaled floorplates, and a carefully curated palette of timeless materials. As the tallest tower in Newstead - and the signature threshold to the future Little Italy precinct - ORO signals a considered evolution of inner-city living, where contemporary architecture is matched by an immersive lifestyle offering.

Wellness, leisure and connection at every level

That offering extends well beyond the apartment. Residents will enjoy access to an expansive private wellness sanctuary, including dual resort-style and lap pools, hot and cold therapy suites, Technogym-equipped fitness spaces, a Pilates studio, sauna, steam and salt rooms, alongside a series of elevated social and dining spaces designed exclusively for residents.

At street level, the building opens into a piazza-style ground plane that links directly with the future Little Italy precinct, reinforcing a walkable, community-focused lifestyle.

With 197 residences in total, ORO Newstead offers a considered mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments, sub-penthouses, and penthouses, all underpinned by spacious floorplans. Unlike many inner-city developments, space here is not treated as an upgrade, but a baseline.

Designed for everyday living

Inside each residence, the focus is on longevity and ease. Designed by award-winning interior designers Carr, each home blends contemporary living with Mediterranean sensibility, featuring generous layouts, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and well-considered indoor-outdoor flow, allowing apartments to adapt to different life stages, whether downsizing, upsizing, or planning ahead. 

Kitchens and bathrooms are dreamy, featuring integrated European appliances, high-quality joinery, refined tapware, and a curated material palette that feels calm rather than trend-driven.

This emphasis on functionality extends beyond the front door. ORO Newstead’s extensive wellness and lifestyle amenity, known as Club ORO, has been designed to support both active and social routines. Facilities include:

• A 20-metre heated rooftop pool with city views, sun lounges, and outdoor dining 
• Indoor heated pool on level 22 with hot and cold pools 
• Technogym-equipped gym and Pilates and yoga space
• Sauna, steam room, and salt room 
• Private dining room with bar and kitchen 
• Residents’ lounge and games room 
• Coworking space with podcast rooms 
• A dedicated guest suite

Connected, walkable, and future-focused

Newstead remains one of Brisbane’s most connected inner-city suburbs, with easy access to Gasworks Plaza, James Street, Teneriffe, and multiple transport options, including CityCat, buses, and train services. Cafés, dining, boutique retail, and riverside walkways are already part of daily life here, with Little Italy set to add another layer of character and vibrancy.

As Max Panettiere of Panettiere Developments explains, “ORO Newstead’s design draws on contemporary Italian influences to create a sense of refinement, depth, and craftsmanship. 

“As the first tower within the Little Italy precinct, it sets a new standard for elevated living in Newstead.”

Targeting completion in 2029, ORO Newstead presents a long-term opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors, and future residents seeking a well-resolved home in a premium inner-city location – one that values space, design, and lifestyle in equal measure.

One- to five-bedroom residences are now selling at ORO Newstead. Priced from $1,070,000 for a one-bedroom apartment with one bathroom, one multi-purpose room, and one car parking space.
