THE FABRIC OF

URBAN LIVING

////////////////////////

Corde Residences is a distinctive new addition to the historic texture of East Brisbane by QM Properties. Designed by leading architects ROTHELOWMAN, this eight-level apartment tower is the epitome of stylish and convenient urban living. Corde is a collection of 60 residences with 1, 2 and 3 bedroom floorplans, with a lushly landscaped private residents recreation deck, pool and ground level of retail.

QM Properties has an outstanding track record of successful property developments and is spearheading the gentrification of East Brisbane.

The development’s Manilla Street location puts everything within reach, including public transport, wide open green spaces, retail and dining. The design of Corde reflects the heritage of the surrounding area by integrating the design of character Brisbane homes and references to the maritime industry and Forsyth’s Rope Works into its design aesthetic. This rich tapestry of story and history provides a beautiful backdrop for ongoing urban renewal and beckons you to be part of the revival.

History

A riverside legacy

/////////////////////////

The Manilla Street area of East Brisbane has a richly textured history, reflected in surrounding Brisbane character homes, grand residences and maritime businesses. The name ‘Corde’, French for ‘rope’, pays homage to the automotive workshop, French Car Care, that previously occupied the site, and Forsyth’s Rope Works that supplied the river traders and other vessels with rope. This history is an integral part of the area’s character, such as the Forsyth’s Ropewalk lane, where the workers would stretch out lengths of freshly woven rope. This is one of the many heritage narratives of the area, giving the community deep roots, a strong sense of identity, and forming a solid foundation for future renewal and evolution.

Design

Craft and inspiration

External

Drawing from the heritage of the area and its stories, the architecture of Corde is distinctively imbued with the essence of its historical context. Textural facade elements echo the ropemaker’s craft and provide a striking point of individuality.Curvaceous precast panels reference the sails of river craft and the extensive use of brickwork embeds Corde in its industrial surroundings. The refinement of the design is also seen in vertical greening elements and the organic softness of podium and rooftop plantings, which reflect the subtropical vegetation of East Brisbane’s many open spaces. Fixed and operable shading panels also add to the dynamic nature of the facade and added comfort for residents.

The rooftop recreation area’s landscaped outdoor space, pool, movie room, bbq, pizza oven, herb garden and private entertaining room, offers residents a truly unique place to escape and unwind while enjoying panoramic views over the city and river.

Internal

Without a doubt Corde’s most defining architectural feature is the operable bronze metallic screens that adorn the tower’s street and city facing facades. Their arrangement creates an active and ever-changing facade composition. The resulting effect of these profiled perforated screens interlocking and overlapping one another is the appearance of ‘fabric’ to the building; an abstract reference to the patterns and configurations born out of the rope sequencing and thread making process.

The apartment interiors seamlessly continue the articulation of the building exterior. Making reference to rope construction, the design incorporates a harmonious combination of angular forms and weave patterning. A simple palette of materials gives a bold contemporary approach along with a hint of industrial chic composed by the use of bronze metal. White walls and reflective surfaces allow light to penetrate the apartment for a spacious feel, whilst keeping a focus on impressive views.

Research commissioned from Urbis has revealed that East Brisbane registers less than 1 percent of inner Brisbane future apartment supply. This is reflected in apartment prices, with East Brisbane apartment prices increasing 11.1 percent over the past 12 months – more than twice the city-wide average increase of 4.2 percent.

Brisbane is the most affordable capital city along the Australian East Coast as of September 2015. The Brisbane LGA recorded a medium apartment price of $420,000 / $22,855 more affordable than Melbourne and $192,000 more affordable than Sydney.

Urbis research shows that the high demand for apartments in East Brisbane is delivering a premium on rents of 20.9 percent for one bedroom apartments compared to the Brisbane average, and a 28.6 percent premium for three bedroom dwellings. Rents have also shown a long-term growth trend, with median rents for one bedroom apartments in the area growing by an average of 5.4 percent annually.

The area’s population comprises a high percentage of young professionals and couples without children, which is expected to create continuing demand for rental apartments. These young professionals aged between 20 and 34 years generally have high disposable income and are attracted to the area’s lifestyle amenity and proximity to employment.

East Brisbane is serviced by an integrated public transport system comprising bus, rail and ferry. It is also reaping the rewards of major infrastructure nearby, including the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital, St Vincent’s Private Hospital, Greenslopes Private Hospital, the Mater Hospital and the Princess Alexandra Hospital. The location is also positioned to benefit from the planned Wynnum Road upgrade, Howard Smith Wharves urban renewal, Queens Wharf resort precinct and the major Queensland Cultural Centre Redevelopment in South Brisbane.

Employment in the immediate East Brisbane and Kangaroo Point vicinity is forecast to grow with 2,083 new jobs created between 2011 and 2031. And the total number of jobs across surrounding areas including the Brisbane CBD, South Brisbane, Fortitude Valley, Woolloongabba and Highgate Hill is forecast to grow by 129,747 new jobs between 2011 and 2031.

East Brisbane is also within 15 minutes of University of Queensland’s St Lucia campus with over 35,000 students, 8 minutes from Queensland University of Technology’s Garden Point Campus and 12 minutes from the Kelvin Grove Campus with between them over 45,000 students, 6 minutes from the 3,600 students of Griffith University’s Southbank campus and 2 minutes from Southbank Institute of Technology with its 30,000 students.

Corde is located within minutes’ walk to everyday shopping facilities and restaurants. Further afield, pedestrian pathways connect East Brisbane to South Brisbane providing residents with easy access to Brisbane’s premier cultural centre and dining hotspot, Grey Street which offers a cosmopolitan mix of world-class eateries. East Brisbane offers a range of recreational options including extensive riverfront parklands and walkways which run alongside the Brisbane River and connect through to the iconic Kangaroo Point Cliffs. Elevated parks and picnic spots provide uninterrupted views of the Brisbane CBD.
