Ten new high-end townhouses will soon be built on Oliphant Street in Murarrie, reflecting the area’s increasing popularity with developers.
New Housing Development
A property developer, linked to Sydney-based VIMG Australia, has submitted plans for a three-storey townhouse development at 19-21 Oliphant Street, Murarrie. The plan includes eight three-bedroom and two four-bedroom townhouses on a 1214sq m site.
The site, comprised of two lots, was bought in 2017 for $1.24 million and had earlier approval for a larger 23-unit development. Brisbane-based CPO Architects designed the new development, Monogram Murarrie.
Design and Features
The design aims to maximise local area views and fit well into the street. The architects focused on making the building look elegant and fit with the surroundings. Each townhouse will have its garden at the front. The plans show that that each townhouse will have a double garage, providing parking for 20 cars in total and three extra spaces for visitors.
The planning report notes that while there is no shared open space within the development, the site is about one kilometre away from Murarrie Recreation Reserve, Cannon Hill Shopping Centre, and public transport like the Cannon Hill interchange and Murarrie train station.
Area Growth
Murarrie, located about 10km southeast of Brisbane’s city centre, is seeing more interest from housing developers due to its location, relatively lower housing costs, and improvements to local infrastructure.
The suburb is surrounded by more expensive areas like Morningside, Bulimba, and Hawthorne, which may drive some interest in Murarrie.
