Toowong's Monarch Residences: 30,220 sqm Wardle scheme complete

For Brisbane developers the story is a riverfront reference case. The post names the architects, the suburb and the river setting.

The post does not name the developer. The developer’s own release does: Consolidated Properties Group, which describes Wardle Studio of Melbourne and Cottee Parker as the architects and Hutchinson Builders as the builder.

The release, dated 11 June 2026, says a ribbon-cutting marked the completion, attended by Brisbane City Council’s Cr Penny Wolff and Cr Adam Allan. Cr Wolff said the project showed what industry and government could achieve together on housing supply. The release says council, Urban Utilities, Energex and Titles Queensland supported settlements through pilot programs.

It adds that the site holds the heritage-listed Middenbury House, built in 1865, now restored and offered as a boutique tenancy, and that Colliers is marketing remaining completed apartments.

The numbers

• 30,220 sqm: the residential figure in the Architecture & Design Australia post. The post does not break it down, so we do not say whether it is gross floor area, and we have not matched it to a council record.
• 224 apartments: across two 15-level towers, per the Consolidated Properties Group release dated 11 June 2026.
• $450 million: the value of apartments the release says were completed and settled. The release gives no count of settlements.
• 1.2 hectares: the site size in the release, with more than 130 metres of Brisbane River frontage.

We have not independently verified any of these figures against a council or building record. They are stated here as the post and the developer report them.

What’s next

The building is described as complete and the release reports the apartments settled. Neither source says what comes next for the site.

Also in Brisbane: the Ashgrove Golf Club two-tower approval.
