Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

QLD

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Character residential (Character) · CR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 610 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $743/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Character residential (Character) · CR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 610 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 610 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material

Listed by Ray White Ascot

Iconic Riverfront Estate of 2110m2

Spanning four levels and capturing unparalleled 360 degree views of the city skyline, this landmark River Avenues address commands its status as one of Brisbane's absolute finest.

The prestigious 2110m2 site boasting a 27m river frontage with private pontoon, was originally owned by former Brisbane Lord Mayor, Clem Jones. Purchased in 1985 by flamboyant entrepreneur James Penny, a commercial design team of leading architects and interior designers crafted the world-class home. A two-year, multi-million-dollar renovation has just been completed by the home's current long-term owner, culminating in what is arguably the most spectacular contemporary design Brisbane has ever seen.

Retaining its prominent architectural style, including the iconic arched dome over the main bedroom, the property stands as one of the most recognised by passers-by on the river. Yet the recent transformation has bought every element, inside and out, into line with a brief of sophisticated cutting-edge flair.

Read the full description

The home promises a 6-star resort-inspired lifestyle that includes a championship-size tennis court, riverside pool area with its own white sandy beach, fire pit and self-contained cabana, as well as a sprawling rooftop terrace and bar.

Meanwhile, a flowing multi-level floorplan ensures the height of family and entertaining functionality, with premium finishes and inclusions throughout. Brushed European Limestone floors extend from inside to the alfresco spaces, creating an opulent but natural aesthetic. A magnificent kitchen with 80mm stone benchtops and the full entertainer's suite of Miele appliances is accompanied by state-of-the-art home technology.

Grand open living spaces on the entry level are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass, connecting the interior to an expansive wrap-around entertaining terrace and the breathtaking river and city views beyond. Encompassing the ranges of Mount Coot-tha, iconic Teneriffe Woolstore, city skyscrapers and stretching north along the river, these magical vistas will forever belong to the home's every-day spaces.

One level down, a dedicated games and entertainment zone boasts a home gym, library, space for a billiard table and spectacular wine tasting area. A further first-floor pavilion overlooking the tennis court features a full bar, perfect for summertime or rainy-day parties!

All five bedrooms sit together on the upper floor, but have been thoughtfully separated into three individual wings to create a supremely private master retreat and accommodate families of any age or dynamic.

-Lavish master bedroom with dual ensuites and walk-in dressing rooms; laundry chute

-Five stunning floor-to-ceiling tiled bathrooms plus 2 guest powder rooms

-Kitchen featuring Miele induction cooktop, pyrolytic oven, combi steam oven/microwave, warming drawer and coffee machine, plus Vintec wine fridges

-Zoned ducted air-conditioning throughout

-Available plans for inclusion of a lift without any structural changes to the building

-6 zone integrated music system (rooftop party area, living room, formal lounge, front and side terraces, tennis pavilion and pool/beach area)

-Smart home technology throughout; latest Savant Pro system for device control of blinds, audio-visual systems, entry gate, garage doors, CCTV security cameras, pool filter and internal/garden lights

-Temperature and humidity controlled 900-bottle wine cellar lined in natural hand-chipped limestone; 300 litre wine barrels from Meursault in France. Double glazed argon gas-filled glass door to protect wine collection

-All terraces finished in French Pattern European Limestone

-Vertical feature walls clad in 40mm limestone; solid 80mm Montana charcoal stone to tennis pavilion bar

-80,000 litre swimming pool with waterfall, undercover day beds, BBQ and casual lounge and a self-contained pool/guesthouse

-Pontoon for boat mooring; large riverside storage for kayaks, boats and jet-skis

-Second property entry point via Scott Street easement, allows access to the deep-water slipway running down into the river

-New driveway paved in Montana stone imported from the USA, plus three-car remote garage and keyless property entry

Built prior to the introduction of council height restrictions, the home is arguably the tallest on the Brisbane riverfront, creating a truly irreplaceable offering. Located just 4km from the Brisbane CBD, with easy access via road, bus or City Cat, residents can stroll to riverside parkland, local cafes, fine restaurants, a gourmet grocer and deluxe cinema. Moments from elite schools and Oxford Street's vibrant shopping, dining and entertainment precinct. The property boasts swift access to world-class cultural offerings at Southbank and the Queen's Wharf development, as well as arterial roads connecting with the Airport, Gold and Sunshine Coast.

A once-in-a-generation opportunity for buyers pursuing the pinnacle of architecture, aspect and location.
