5/65 Moray Street, New Farm QLD 4005

Sub-penthouse river frontage | 348 sqm internal | Four-car parking | New Farm’s riparian edge This property occupies a rare configuration within an exclusive riverfront enclave: a sub-penthouse with near-penthouse dimensions, four dedicated car spaces, and direct riverwalk access. The 348-square-metre floor plan, paired with a northern aspect and uninterrupted city and river views, places it among the strongest residential positions in Brisbane’s premium market. For a buyer seeking a primary residence in a tightly held address, the combination of scale, parking, and riparian positioning is difficult to replicate. The property serves best as a long-term home for a family or executive couple who value walkability to New Farm’s amenities alongside private river frontage. The primary risk is pricing: the estimated market band sits well above standard apartment valuations, and the 2020 purchase price suggests significant capital growth assumptions have been baked in. Buyers should verify recent comparable sales in Moray House and adjacent riverfront buildings to confirm whether the premium is justified by scarcity or inflated by aspiration. The absence of flood, bushfire, or heritage overlays reduces regulatory risk, but the building’s age and strata governance should be reviewed for upcoming levies or structural works. Opportunities lie in the four-car garage,a rare commodity in this precinct,and the ability to hold the property as a generational home rather than a short-term trade, given the limited supply of such units. Hold for lifestyle and capital preservation, not for rapid resale.
