South Point has a new website.

"Take a moment to appreciate the journey that a stroll through a palatial Southpoint residence offers. Once inside, the walls ascend forever and the warm, opulent timber floor implores you to remove your shoes. There are vast living areas, lavish dining rooms and king-sized bedrooms. Lean on the private bar, recline near the classic fireplace, and discover the divine natural stone top kitchen that forms a living space all of its own. There's even the rare luxury of a powder room. This is just a sample of what gives Southpoint Residences their unique difference - there is so much more to be experienced."

"ARCHITECT-developer Tony John is willing to bet $1 billion that the run-down suburb of Buranda, in Brisbane's inner south, will be the next New Farm.Mr John has a scheme for a massive residential, retail and commercial project that can only be called immensely ambitious.

He is willing to bet that Brisbane people will be willing to pay about $500,000 for an entry-level one-bedroom apartment measuring less than than 50sq m. Big enough to swing a cat - just.  He's willing to bet that they will want to live right next to the truck-laden Logan Rd, over a train line and right next to a busway in a suburb that looks like it has had too much sun and has never been known for urban chic.  He's also betting that the housing affordability dilemma will mean people will question if they can afford a home and a car.

But just to show how strongly he feels about Buranda, the man who developed the oh-so-swish Emporium development in Fortitude Valley says he is less confident about his separate plans for 56 luxury apartments at South Bank projected to cost between $2 million and $10 million each. "I would not like to make that call right now," he said...."

From an email from an agent:
"The soon to be released Southpoint Residences will be the finest and most exclusive of Brisbane’s property market.  Situated on South Bank’s last development site, the north-east aspect ensures that your views of the city and the river set you ahead of the rest. 

With fifty-six palatial residences perched on top of the next acclaimed Emporium Hotel, you will not only live in the style that you deserve, you will receive six-star treatment morning, noon and night.

These truly unique ‘homes’ will provide spacious living with only the very best of fixtures and finishes.  From the ‘his’ and ‘her’ robes to the classic fireplace and the private bar each element has been carefully selected with your comfort in mind.

Southpoint will be delivered by the Developers who brought you the Emporium Precinct; the Anthony John Groups’ attention to detail achieves quality and a lasting sense of style."

The Queensland Government has given the nod for early works to start on a $650 million luxury hotel and residential development next to the South Bank railway station.

It will include restaurants and retail spaces as well as the hotel, cinema and 56 residential apartments.
