48/460 Ann Street, Brisbane City QLD 4000

This unique apartment offers a rare two-storey layout set across the top floors of a landmark brick building known as The New Yorker, originally an industrial building transformed into apartments in the 1990s. The full brick construction and generous proportions impart a sense of permanence and heritage character that new developments often lack.

The lower level features a living and dining area beneath impressive 3.4m ceilings, a functional kitchen, and a well-sized bedroom with its own bathroom, providing versatility and comfortable living areas. Upstairs, the master suite is a private retreat, occupying an entire floor with a spacious room measuring approximately 4.7m by 3.3m, including a dedicated retreat area and ensuite, all under soaring 3.8m ceilings which enhance the sense of space and light.

Ready for a considered renovation, this residence presents a blank canvas with strong bones, offering excellent potential to tailor the home to individual tastes and needs. Its inner-city location makes it attractive for investors, with projected rental returns ranging from 4 to 10 percent once upgraded. Owner-occupiers have the opportunity to create a distinctive home from the studs up in a building steeped in character.

While there is no parking space included on title, secure parking can be rented nearby, and given the highly walkable location, many residents choose to forgo owning a car. The address itself is superb, just minutes from popular precincts such as Howard Smith Wharves and Eagle Street Pier, with vibrant markets and excellent upcoming infrastructure including Cross River Rail and Brisbane Metro enhancing long-term value. The proximity to the 2032 Olympic Games venues only amplifies this central location’s appeal.

Apartment 48 provides a unique combination of heritage charm, expansive interior dimensions, and a prime city-centre location, making it a distinctive offering with significant upside for the discerning buyer.
