Nestled in the heart of one of Brisbane’s most sought-after suburbs, Della Rosa is poised to become New Farm’s most coveted address. This collection of 12 exclusive residences combines modern spacious floorplans, wellness features, and a heritage story.

Developed by cousins and property developers Frank and Joseph Licastro – founder and managing director of Frank Developments and founder and managing director of Signature Property Partners respectively, Della Rosa was imagined by the warmth found in the family homes of yesterday. Specifically, the New Farm homes of relatives Frank and Joseph grew up frequenting.

Honouring their heritage 

Frank and Joseph Licastro have a deep connection to the charming riverside suburb. Their fondest memories remain in their Nonna and Nonno’s backyard in New Farm, where the cousins played around their grandparents’ fruit and vegetable garden.

“For us, this project is not merely about development; it’s about honouring our heritage, embracing innovation, and fostering a sense of belonging within the New Farm community,” said Joe.

Their devotion to this community is reflected in Della Rosa, named after the late Rosa Oxlade – a former neighbour, and strategically located at Oxlade Drive, a well-known street named after the same Rosa.

“We had the special opportunity to meet with Rosa’s granddaughters, who shared fascinating stories into both the Oxlade family legacy and the history of New Farm,” said Frank.

So, the cousins crafted Della Rosa as a landmark destination that pays homage to their past, embraces the future, and stays true to the suburb they both reside in today.

A timeless sanctuary

Comprising just 12 residences, Della Rosa’s bespoke apartments and penthouses are characterised by all the features that make a home warm and timeless, including expansive living spaces, three-metre high ceilings, and large balconies.

Yet, the team ensures modernity and cutting-edge living with high-end internal finishes, customisable spaces, keypad secure entry, and Brisbane city views to each residence.

These elements, combined with sustainability features, make Della Rosa a model of luxury living.

The development is also a culmination of a deep commitment to the buyer’s journey, further highlighting Frank and Joseph’s commitment to the community.

“We've been truly fortunate to work with wonderful purchasers on this development,” said Frank.

“The experience of collaborating with them to create their dream home has been a pleasure, and we look forward to continuing to support their journey through to handover later this year.”

Your New Farm retreat

Della Rosa elevates the concept of ‘living the slow life’ with a range of resident-only amenities. As a resident, you will have exclusive access to a rooftop pool with poolside daybeds, sauna, wellness facilities, residents’ dining room, and BBQ areas. These tranquil spaces offer unparalleled views stretching from the Brisbane River to the city – a true escape from the daily hustle.

On this privileged New Farm location, less than four kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, you will enjoy proximity to some of the city’s best cultural and recreational offerings, including the suburb’s well-known dining, parklands, and shopping. With transport links nearby, you are well connected to more of Brisbane’s best.

Della Rosa is estimated to be completed in August 2025, with limited three- and four-bedroom residences remaining.

Frank Developments has a rich history of exceptional projects, evident in their industry recognition, including awards for previous developments such as Maison and Gould Lane. Now, they bring their expertise to Della Rosa.
