A new apartment development in Spring Hill is integrating emerging lifestyle features and proximity to Brisbane’s 2032 Olympic venues into its design.
Residential Design Aligns with Olympic Infrastructure
A 15-storey residential development is taking shape in Spring Hill, offering future residents direct access to Brisbane’s Olympic precinct. Situated on Gregory Terrace, the site overlooks the future Olympic Stadium and Victoria Park/Barrambin, positioning the project within walking distance of key venues for the 2032 Games.
The project, named Oria, is being developed by Keylin and constructed by Brisbane-based builder CoStruct. It will deliver 132 apartments across two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom configurations, with completion forecast for early 2027.
Integration of Pickleball Reflects Sporting Trends
Oria is believed to be the first multi-storey inner-city residential development in Queensland to incorporate a dedicated pickleball court among its amenities. Pickleball, which has rapidly gained popularity across Queensland in recent years, is under consideration for inclusion in the 2032 Olympic program.
According to the Pickleball Association of Queensland, demand for courts across the state has outpaced availability. The compact court dimensions make the sport suitable for integration into high-density residential developments. The inclusion of a pickleball court at Oria complements other rooftop amenities. These include a gym, pool, yoga space, cinema, sauna, steam room, games area, and private dining rooms.
Focus on Community and Sustainability
In addition to its sport-focused facilities, Oria will include ground-level features like a business centre and off-leash dog area, aiming to support diverse lifestyles and foster community interaction.
The development has received a six-leaf certification from the Urban Development Institute of Australia under the EnviroDevelopment program, recognising sustainability measures in energy, water, waste, ecosystems, materials, and community initiatives.
Urban Outlook and Future Integration
Oria is in Spring Hill, next to the 64-hectare Victoria Park/Barrambin, which is being redeveloped as part of preparations for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Its elevated site provides 360-degree views from Mt Coot-tha to Brisbane’s CBD and stadium zone.
With the Olympic stadium and aquatics centre being constructed nearby, developments like Oria are seen as part of the broader urban response to Brisbane’s upcoming international event. Sales for the apartments are expected to launch later in 2025.
What’s Next
As construction continues, Oria remains one of the first residential developments in Brisbane’s inner north to include pickleball among its amenities and to be located within close proximity to the planned Olympic venues. Its design features align with increasing interest in lifestyle-oriented infrastructure within high-density urban precincts.
