Why it's worth checking out
Opera Apartments is a residential apartment building at 47 Cordelia Street in South Brisbane, positioned in the centre of the precinct and a few minutes’ walk from South Bank. The apartments are available in one, two and three-bedroom configurations, with large balconies, spacious living areas and NBN WiFi. Depending on the apartment, views look towards Brisbane’s city or surrounding parklands.
Designed by award-winning architects Paul Fairweather and Tony Jemmott, the building combines glass walls and modern interiors with a strong focus on natural light. The black-and-white interior scheme was developed by MMO Interiors, the designers behind Brisbane’s Riverside Food Court, giving the apartments a consistent visual style.
Shared facilities are a major part of the offering. Residents have access to a rooftop terrace with a barbecue area and alfresco dining, along with a sundeck and resort-style wet-edge infinity pool overlooking city views. The building also includes a sky garden and an alfresco dining area on Level 16, as well as a restaurant and café.
With larger apartments and dedicated living space, Opera Apartments may suit couples, families or groups wanting an apartment-style base in South Brisbane rather than a standard hotel room. Its location is also convenient for South Bank, the Mater Private Hospital and Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital, with West End restaurants and Brisbane’s CBD nearby.
