Skye Penthouses at Kangaroo Point Aim to Set Queensland Apartment Price Record

A collection of five luxury penthouses at Kangaroo Point has entered the market as Pikos Group targets a new Queensland apartment price record. The residences form the final release within the completed $250 million Skye by Pikos development, with early buyer interest prompting the company to pursue what could become the state’s highest apartment sale.

Pikos Group has launched the penthouses through a private expressions of interest campaign after completing the 30-storey residential tower. Instead of selling the homes off the plan, the company waited until construction was finished so prospective buyers could experience the completed residences before making a purchase decision.

The centrepiece of the collection is Skye One, a two-level residence spanning more than 1,000 square metres. It features a 247-square-metre rooftop terrace with a private swimming pool, sauna, steam room and outdoor entertaining areas overlooking the Brisbane River and Brisbane CBD.

Unlike the other four penthouses, which are fully completed four-bedroom residences ready to occupy, Skye One is being offered in shell-and-core form, allowing its future owner to customise the interior. The remaining penthouses each include private lift access and expansive open-plan living spaces. Apartments elsewhere in the building start from about $4.4 million.

Founder and executive director Pedro Pikos said the project’s vision was to create homes designed to endure over generations and become more valuable over time. That approach is reflected in the building’s materials, including more than 20,000 square metres of Roman Classic Travertine sourced from Tivoli, Italy.

Interior designer Julie Williamson said the interiors were shaped by Brisbane’s subtropical character and the distinctive Kangaroo Point site, with material selection playing a central role throughout the design.

The release comes as Brisbane’s inner-city apartment market continues to attract premium pricing ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Kangaroo Point has also been identified for significant infrastructure investment as preparations continue for the event.

The penthouses are aiming to surpass Queensland’s current apartment price record, set earlier this year when the penthouse at ONE Burleigh on the Gold Coast sold for $30 million. While Skye One offers a substantially larger footprint than the record-holding residence, Pikos Group has not disclosed asking prices, making a direct comparison impossible.

If one of the Kangaroo Point penthouses sells above the current record, it would establish a new benchmark for apartment sales in Queensland.

About Skye by Pikos

Located at 8 River Terrace, the project consists of three residential towers designed by architects Conrad Gargett. The development is notable for its integration of luxury and architectural precision, promising to add a striking feature to the Brisbane skyline.

Each of the three towers rises to 13 levels and contains no more than 25 residences, with a maximum of two apartments per floor. This design choice emphasizes exclusivity and privacy for future residents.

The apartments are designed to offer spacious living areas and panoramic views of the Brisbane River, City Botanic Gardens, and the CBD. Features include open-plan layouts, full-height windows, wide balconies, and main bedrooms equipped with walk-in wardrobes and ensuites. Each residence also provides at least two car parking spaces.

Amenities reflect a focus on resort-style living. The development includes the Skyeline aquatic deck, which features a heated infinity pool situated at the northernmost peak of the site. The pool’s location allows for uninterrupted views and access to both sunrise and sunset vistas. Additional amenities include a rooftop leisure and regeneration deck and an outdoor kitchen.

The project’s design also incorporates environmental considerations, with a layout aimed at maximizing natural light and ventilation. Lush plantings in precast concrete planter boxes harmonize with the surrounding environment, adding greenery to the façade.

As one of Brisbane’s prominent residential projects, Skye by Pikos highlights a shift towards high-end, low-density living. It also reflects broader trends in urban development as Brisbane gears up for increased global attention with the upcoming 2032 Olympics. While the development is still under construction, its architectural and design elements suggest it will make a lasting impact on the city’s residential landscape.
