In a city shaped by its river, absolute riverfront homes are becoming increasingly rare. Lucia, a boutique off-the-plan apartment collection by developer McNab Property, occupies one of those increasingly coveted positions, set directly on the Brisbane River’s edge in leafy Highgate Hill.

Comprising just eight expansive residences, Lucia offers a quieter, more considered approach to riverfront living. Positioned at 5 Dudley Street, the project enjoys uninterrupted 180-degree river views, framed by mature greenery and the water below. It’s a setting that feels removed, yet remains firmly connected to Brisbane’s inner-city lifestyle.

Inner-city convenience meets riverside calm

Highgate Hill has long been admired for its elevated outlooks, residential character, and proximity to some of Brisbane’s most vibrant precincts. From Lucia, residents are just 1km from West End’s dining and cultural scene, 2km from vibrant Southbank, and within easy reach of the CBD via nearby ferry services.

Despite this connectivity, the immediate surrounds remain quiet and green. Pocket parks, river walks, and leafy streets reinforce a lifestyle defined by balance, where city access is effortless, yet everyday life feels grounded in nature.

Boutique living designed for owner-occupiers

Designed with owner-occupiers in mind, Lucia’s residences are notably generous in scale. Each home offers three bedrooms, multiple living zones, and house-sized proportions, with floorplans ranging from approximately 331 to 439 square metres. Two penthouses sit at the top of the collection, each featuring a private rooftop terrace designed to maximise river views and Brisbane’s idyllic sub-tropical climate.

Architecture by WMK and landscape design by Aspect Studios work together to enhance the site’s natural advantages. Integrated garden beds are positioned throughout the building to draw greenery into living spaces, improving natural light, cross-flow ventilation, and the overall connection to the outdoors.

Interiors are refined yet luxurious, with a restrained material palette that prioritises warmth, longevity, and liveability.

A serene riverside sanctuary

Lucia offers a private wellness experience for its eight owners, with a heated pool, sun deck, sauna, and a secluded outdoor shower, all set along the river’s edge for a peaceful and restorative escape.

Expertly delivered with certainty

Lucia is developed and built by McNab, one of Queensland’s most established and awarded builder-developers, with more than 30 years’ experience delivering high-quality residential projects. They have brought their years of expertise to Lucia, ensuring every detail has been considered and elevated.

“Lucia Highgate Hill reflects what Brisbane prestige buyers are craving: space, craftsmanship, and confidence in delivery,” said Michael McNab, executive chairman of McNab.

“We’ve built this with a focus on longevity and true riverfront living, no compromises.”

Construction is well underway, with completion and move-in anticipated for Q3 2026. For buyers considering an off-the-plan purchase, this near-term delivery offers a level of confidence that is increasingly valued in today’s market.

With just eight residences and a genuinely absolute riverfront position, Lucia represents a rare opportunity in inner Brisbane. Rather than prioritising scale, the project focuses on privacy, space, and a strong connection to its surroundings, and it can be yours very soon.

Three-bedroom residences are now selling. Priced from $4,995,000 for a courtyard residence with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two car parking spaces.
