Kangaroo Point is one of Brisbane’s most established inner-city neighbourhoods, bordered by the Brisbane River on three sides, tightly held, and rarely offering anything new.

Skye by Pikos is the exception.

Built by Tomkins and designed by architect Conrad Gargett, with interiors by Julie Williamson Design, Skye is an exclusive collection of 69 riverfront residences across three separate buildings. It is now complete, and the final developer release is now selling.

The best of Brisbane, from one address

Skye by Pikos sits elevated above the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, with the Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park directly in front. This means the river outlook is protected permanently, with uninterrupted views that sweep across to the city skyline, Brisbane River, and Southbank.

Ensuring utmost connectivity, the Kangaroo Point Bridge, opened in December 2024, connects residents directly to the Brisbane CBD, a 10-minute walk away. Southbank, Howard Smith Wharves, and the city’s leading dining and cultural precincts are all close.

Riverwalks, parklands, and everyday conveniences are also at the door, with major road connections including the Story Bridge, Pacific Motorway, Southeast Freeway, and Clem7 easily accessible.

Why three buildings?

The decision to divide the site into three towers was always part of the design brief. Conrad Gargett’s approach prioritised breeze flow, natural light, privacy, and exclusivity over apartment numbers. So, the separation between buildings allows daylight and river breezes to penetrate from multiple sides. It also eliminates the problem of residences looking directly into each other.

With only two residences per floor across three buildings, each with its own lift, the level of privacy is closer to a private home than a conventional apartment tower.

Brisbane’s subtropical climate continued to shape every decision. A result of this? Three-metre-deep balconies to provide passive solar shading. Integrated 1.2-metre planter zones buffer direct sun and bring greenery into the facade. While retractable external blinds give residents control over heat and glare year-round.

House-sized residences 

At Skye by Pikos, the homes are proportioned like houses. Generous bedrooms, substantial storage, multiple living areas, and large entertaining spaces open directly onto three-metre-wide balconies with expansive river frontages up to 14m - spaces wide enough to function as genuine outdoor rooms.

Pedro Pikos and Julie Williamson of Julie Williamson Design personally hand-selected the Roman Classic Travertine in Italy, and the scale of it shows. The Penthouse Collection alone features more than 20,000 sqm of the stone.

The team grounded the rest of the interiors in the same philosophy: natural materials chosen for lasting quality rather than short-term trends, where, for example, European oak flooring brings warmth and texture. 

For functionality, V-ZUG appliances - Swiss-made, with combi-steam ovens and vacuum drawers in the specified range - are integrated throughout the kitchens. 

PARISI tapware and natural stone vanities, baths, and floor-to-ceiling robes finish the bathrooms. 

Bespoke timber joinery throughout the homes adds another layer of warmth. The palette is soft, warm, and deliberately timeless.

A sanctuary above it all

Exclusive to residents, the rooftop sanctuary is the cherry on top. This is where the magnesium infinity pool, sun deck, and sun lounges are, positioned to look directly out across the Brisbane River and city skyline. 

It’s the perfect place to start the day with a refreshing lap swim, entertain loved ones, or simply unwind watching the sun set.

Skye by Pikos is complete and move-in ready. With the final developer release now selling, don’t miss out on this last opportunity to call this rare riverfront address home.

Three-bedroom residences are selling from $4 million plus, each with two-and-a-half baths and two car parking spaces.
