At the leafy edge of East Brisbane, a striking new residential landmark has emerged. Banksii, a collection of 72 stunning residences, is inspired by the sculptural elegance of the native Grevillea Banksii plant. 

Just like its namesake, this development balances graceful natural forms with a bold architectural presence, offering residents a lifestyle that is both grounded in nature and connected to the vibrancy of the city.

With its one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments now selling, you can call Banksii home.

A design language rooted in nature

The Grevillea Banksii is celebrated for its flowing curves, organic symmetry, and warm tones. These qualities are translated directly into Banksii’s sculptural façade, which ripples with soft balcony curves and floor-to-ceiling glazing. The interplay of stone, timber, and bronze detailing brings warmth to the building’s refined urban form.

In the apartments, natural textures and symmetrical forms continue the narrative. Stone benchtops with warm veining, engineered timber flooring, and bespoke oak vanities with bronze hardware create a cohesive design scheme. 

From spacious one-bedroom apartments to elevated three-bedroom homes, every residence at Banksii has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light, integrated storage, and sweeping views - creating interiors that feel both refined and enduring, with a natural flow to the outdoors.

Life elevated

Banksii offers a thoughtfully crafted lifestyle, from street to skyline. 

At ground level, landscaped communal spaces, a residents’ gym, infrared sauna, and a proposed café foster wellbeing and connection with the surrounding streetscape. 

A landscaped laneway, secure parking with EV charging provisions, and 90 bicycle spaces add everyday convenience, while above, a rooftop retreat invites relaxation with its infinity-edge pool, cabanas, BBQ and dining areas, and panoramic views across the city, river, and Raymond Park.

A walkable and connected neighbourhood

Set at 169 Wellington Road, Banksii sits within one of Brisbane’s most walkable and well-connected suburbs. East Brisbane is a neighbourhood of character, known for heritage Queenslanders, leafy streets, and a strong sense of community. Paired with direct links to the city via the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, this is an idyllic locale.

In just minutes, residents can walk to Kangaroo Point Cliffs, Woolloongabba’s dining precinct, or The Gabba, which is set to be a central venue for the 2032 Olympics. Southbank’s cultural precinct, the vibrant Howard Smith Wharves, and Eagle Street Pier are all within easy reach, ensuring lifestyle, convenience, and long-term value converge here.

Sustainability with substance

Beyond its architectural beauty, Banksii has been designed with sustainability front of mind. Double glazing, wide frontages that encourage cross-ventilation, and ceiling fans reduce reliance on air-conditioning.

EV charging readiness and generous bike storage further support greener ways of living, while water-efficient balcony systems and waste-diverting chutes highlight a considered approach to everyday efficiency.

Banksii in bloom

For first home buyers, downsizers, and investors alike, Banksii offers a rare opportunity: contemporary residences that capture the warmth of nature and the energy of the city. Just like the Grevillea Banksii plant, this development is designed to flourish, rooted in East Brisbane’s timeless neighbourhood character while looking confidently to the future.

One-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are selling. Priced from $870,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence with one study and one car park.
