Developer Pask has brought forward the release of stage two at Florian Rise in Rochedale following strong buyer demand, with more than 80 per cent of stage one sold and construction under way.
The development is bringing apartment living to Rochedale for the first time in a suburb 18km from the Brisbane CBD.
Stage two features Sage Apartments, a six-level building with 56 residences offering two-bedroom apartments from 93sq m, three-bedroom apartments from 130sq m, and four-bedroom residences from 213sq m.
Prices start from $940,000 at the development, located at 41 Skyview Ave.
The release follows the strong market response to the project’s 62-apartment stage one, now under construction by builder RCQ Construction and comprises the three-level Aster Apartments with 24 residences and the five-level Banksia Apartments with 38 residences, with completion scheduled by the end of next year.
Luxury apartment marketing specialist Total Property Group is presenting Florian Rise to the market, and managing director Adrian Parsons said the decision to release stage two ahead of schedule reflected a changing housing market across Brisbane’s southern suburbs.
“Strong early sales confirm there is genuine demand for apartment living in Rochedale, and bringing stage two forward allows us to respond to that demand sooner than originally anticipated,” he said.
“We’re seeing a significant shift in buyer preferences, particularly from owner-occupiers seeking homes that reduce maintenance without compromising on space, quality or lifestyle.
“Just as importantly, they want to remain close to the neighbourhoods, family and community connections they have established over many years.
“The buyer demographic reflects the broad appeal of Florian Rise. Owner-occupiers account for 76 per cent of purchasers, including 17 per cent first-home buyers, while investors represent the remaining 24 per cent of sales, including one purchaser who has secured multiple residences, reinforcing confidence in the project’s long-term appeal.
“Until now, residents wanting to downsize within Rochedale have had few options. Florian Rise is filling that gap by delivering spacious apartments, extensive green space and resort-style amenities within an established suburban location.”
Designed by architects Ellivo, Florian Rise has been planned to maximise natural light, cross-ventilation and indoor-outdoor living.
Residents will enjoy access to landscaped gardens and the Garden Club wellness precinct, featuring a resort-style 20m swimming pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium, walking paths, barbecue facilities, sheltered entertaining pavilions and a community clubhouse.
Pask development director John Curtis said Florian Rise reflected the company’s long history of identifying evolving housing needs within established communities.
“For more than 55 years, Pask has been creating residential communities across Queensland and Victoria by responding to the way Australians want to live,” he said.
“Florian Rise continues that legacy by introducing Rochedale’s first apartment community, providing a housing choice that has never previously existed within this established suburb.
“Rochedale has experienced significant growth over the past decade and Florian Rise broadens that choice by allowing residents to transition to apartment living without leaving the suburb they value.”
