Capella Residences Brisbane

Capella Hotel Group and Verso Projects announce a landmark partnership to debut Capella Residences Brisbane in 2029. Marking the third Capella Residences globally after Seoul and Bangkok – and the first branded residence of any kind in Brisbane – this extraordinary collaboration will see the restoration and transformation of the historic Shafston House estate into an exclusive riverfront address. The result will be a rare offering where heritage meets contemporary architecture, and where Capella’s signature service defines a new era of residential living in Australia.

Set along the Brisbane River at Kangaroo Point, Capella Residences Brisbane will reimagine Shafston House, one of the city’s most treasured estates that has stood as a defining presence for more than 174 years, through a lens uniquely aligned with Capella’s heritage-led philosophy. Renowned for curating culturally rich and historically significant destinations, Capella is a natural custodian for this landmark site – once one of Brisbane’s most prominent private residences and a defining symbol of prestige in its era.

The project aims to set a new benchmark for integrated residential living in Queensland, combining world-class design, bespoke interiors, and hotel-inspired services. The lifestyle precinct will offer residents communal recreation, restorative, and residential facilities, integrating the luxuries of exceptional hotel amenities with the intimacy and comfort of a private home. Central to this offering will be the Capella Living Room – a signature expression of the Capella promise – providing a welcoming, residential-style space that fosters connection, cultural immersion, and personalised service, seamlessly extending the brand’s hospitality ethos into everyday living.

Additionally, two River Homes will be constructed along the embankment, complemented by a private marina, porte cochère with drop-off and pick-up facilities, and private basement garage parking. Expansive gardens and six pools (three of which are for all residents), designed by award-winning landscape architects, will further enhance the estate’s luxury and appeal.

Capella Residences Brisbane will build on Capella Hotel Group’s presence in Australia, including the award-winning Capella Sydney – and The Lands by Capella precinct. Bringing this project to life will be Brisbane-based developer, Verso Projects, who currently holds an impressive $8.5bn portfolio with over 6,000 dwellings in their pipeline, and a diverse asset class spanning apartments, townhouses, retail and commercial. With a profound belief in Brisbane’s future, Verso approaches each project with a long-term vision - one that balances innovation with heritage sensitivity, and global inspiration with local authenticity. Verso’s partnership with Capella Residences reflects a shared philosophy: that exceptional places are born from thoughtful design, cultural respect and uncompromising standards.

The partnership between Capella Hotel Group and Verso Projects signals a new level of international engagement in the city’s future and is expected to further elevate Brisbane’s standing within the global prestige property landscape. With strong population growth, transformative infrastructure investment and increasing global visibility – particularly in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic Games – Brisbane has emerged as one of Australia’s most compelling luxury markets.
