Founder and managing director Tom Dooley said securing the sales before launch showed “the depth of demand for Solais”, according to the report. The article describes almost two-thirds of purchasers as coming from Brisbane suburbs and as owner-occupiers.
The 44 sales are described as made before the official market launch, which coincides with the opening of a display gallery for sales, located on the roof of the adjoining Breakfast Creek Lifestyle Precinct. The report does not give a launch date. The penthouse collection, covering 20 penthouses in all, was released as part of the launch.
The numbers
Solais Residences comprises 164 residences, made up of 144 apartments and 20 penthouses, on a 2,500 sqm site. Plazibat Architects designed the tower, and the report gives a completion target of the fourth quarter of 2028.
The residences range from two to four bedrooms, and the report gives the developer as Tom Dooley Developments and the architect as Plazibat Architects. The development sits on Breakfast Creek Road, next to the Breakfast Creek Lifestyle Precinct. The report lists “from” prices by type:
- 51 two-bedroom apartments from $1.698m
- 63 two-bedroom apartments with a multipurpose room from $1.977m
- 30 three-bedroom apartments from $2.964m
- 18 three-bedroom penthouses with a multipurpose room from $5.503m
- 2 four-bedroom penthouses with a multipurpose room from $7.197m
Those five groups add up to the 164 residences in the project. The report does not break the 44 presales down by apartment type or say how many were penthouses.
What’s next
The sales gallery opening on the Breakfast Creek Lifestyle Precinct rooftop coincides with the official launch, though the report gives no date for it.
Construction is underway, and the developer’s stated completion window is the fourth quarter of 2028.
