25 SHAFSTON AVENUE, KANGAROO POINT

IN URBAN VERNACULAR, LUME TRANSLATES TO

“MORE THAN LOVE”

It is a delicate, passionate and faithful term of

endearment to be used sparingly.

When you LUME something you adore it to an

indescribable level.

LUME’S DESIGN IS IN SYNERGY

WITH THE KANGAROO POINT

CLIFF FACE, WITH SCULPTED

VERTICAL WALLS AND

STONE-COLOURED FACADES

Taking architectural influence, identity and entitlement from

the precinct’s rich history, the timeless icon will rise 13 levels

above the vertical lights of Brisbane’s bejewelled skyline.

Lume emerges above the established property landscape of

high rise apartments and family homes as a new landmark

for Brisbane.

IT’S FOR THE ASTUTE BUYERThis inner city Brisbane suburb is a consistent property market performer.

Kangaroo Point is a suburb with a true pedigree of apartments and penthouses.

Consistent gains in property values have been driven largely by strong market demand outstripping the limited number of luxury apartments and houses available at any one time in this exclusive enclave so close to the CBD.

IT’S BRISBANE’S BEST KEPT SECRETKangaroo Point remains a stylish and enviable lifestyle precinct.

It is home to the chosen few lucky enough to have recognised this most desirable suburb in the heart of Australia’s fastest growing capital city.

Opportunities to secure bespoke residential apartments like Lume are rare and highly sought after by affluent buyers who have long grasped Kangaroo Point’s true worth.

IT’S GOT HISTORY

In 1825, when the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement moved

to the current site of Brisbane’s central business district,

Kangaroo Point became critical to the settlement.

A year later, Commandant Patrick Logan opened a quarry at

the base of the high riverbank.

In 1828 the rock from the quarry was used to construct

Government buildings such as the Commissariat Store

where supplies for the settlement were kept. It is still in

use today as a museum at 115 William Street, Brisbane.

The Kangaroo Point riverbank was quarried for the next 150

years forming the colourful cliffs we see today.

For years Kangaroo Point was dominated by the maritime

industry including the Evans Deakin Shipyard, circa 1910,

which went on to build the largest ship in Australian history

– the Robert Miller, a 66,000 tonne oil tanker that stretched

239 metres in length.

WHY WE LOVEKANGAROO POINT

The Queensland Navy’s primary storage facility was also located in the suburb and the heritage-listed building is now used by an adventure company focusing on river activities and rock climbing.

Born in London about 1819, Joseph Thompson was arguably Queensland’s first real estate developer. He had arrived in Australia at age 20, and his family drapery store became the basis of a successful business.

By the 1860s he had acquired about 200 acres of land from Kangaroo Point to Woolloongabba, and locals referred to it as Thompson’s Paddock.

Thompson built houses to rent out. His most notable construction is heritage-listed Silverwells, which still stands in Main Street, Kangaroo Point.

A significant chapter in the suburb’s history lays claim to the Story Bridge Hotel, now a famed landmark constructed in 1886 as the Kangaroo Point Hotel.

It is one of just seven, three-storey hotels in Queensland hailing from that period.

It became known as the ‘village pub’ to residents not long after the Deery family bought the hotel in 1967 and later restored it to its former glory.

Now one of the last remaining family-owned and operated hotels in Brisbane, the landmark hotel has an enviable reputation for its fine food, extensive range of beers, quality wines and good company.

By 1900 Kangaroo Point was becoming a commercial precinct with mixed residential pre and post-war housing including tin workers cottages and family homes.

A series of developments in the 1980’s saw a resurgence in Kangaroo Point’s popularity when high rises such as Dockside sprang up along the riverfront. It was one of the first urban renewal projects that included the decommissioned shipyards and slipway.

Kangaroo Point has continued to attract luxury residential projects overlooking Brisbane’s growing CBD. Grand multi-million dollar mansions form a gallery along the precinct’s streetscape, a select region the affluent choose to call home.

IT’S CONNECTEDA short ferry ride across the Brisbane River, a stroll across the Story Bridge or a quick car trip to the city, valley and beyond, Kangaroo Point is perfectly positioned within minutes to Brisbane City.

It has close access to trendy riverfront and South Bank restaurants and entertainment precincts, and direct access to the proposed new Alice Street Pedestrian Bridge, which will connect Thornton Street to the Eagle Street Pier.

From its prime corner position on the hilltop in Kangaroo Point, Lume is within walking distance of Brisbane CBD, yet distant enough to be shielded from the daily hustle and bustle of the city.
