Ivy & Eve – a benchmark for inner-city living – showcases CDL’s Australian experience

A joint partner in the landmark Ivy & Eve apartment towers at South Brisbane, City Developments Ltd (CDL) already has an established track record of development in Australia.

One of Brisbane’s most appealing new lifestyle addresses, Ivy & Eve struck a chord with residents, investors and tenants when completed in 2018.

A stunning addition to the South Brisbane skyline, the 476-unit twin-tower project offers contemporary and convenient living at Merivale Street in the heart of South Brisbane.

Developed by a Joint Venture Consortium of CDL, ASX-listed Abacus Property Group and local developer KPG Capital, the project set a new benchmark with its unprecedented resident amenities and lush cascading greenery exemplified by a 124-square metre vertical green wall.

The twin Ivy & Eve towers are cleverly joined at a podium deck level featuring a suspended luxury pool, heated spa, sun deck, gymnasium, yoga room and exclusive outdoor cinema. Other resident-only facilities include a beach house, private dining and games room, BBQ areas with pizza oven and a purpose built Japanese-style Teppanyaki bar.

All of this is complemented by stunning city, river and mountain views on offer from each apartment’s floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor living areas.

A living wall of green

Ivy & Eve’s signature green wall, featuring more than 82 species of plants and designed to deliver wide-ranging benefits aside from a stunning streetscape, is representative of CDL’s long-term commitment to innovative sustainable design.

Green walls improve air quality, reduce indoor air temperature in summer as well as offer natural sound baffling which can sometimes be significant in inner-city locations.

The plants selected for the wall at Ivy & Eve included local, native and exotic species as well as species that are comfortable at high altitude, so they are equipped to deal with cold, wind and the vagaries of Queensland weather.

As typical of vertical gardens, each species of plant chosen was hyper-functional – serving as a food source, a habitat and nesting space.

Taking lifestyle to the next level

An unprecedented array of exclusive resident amenities made Ivy & Eve Apartments a standout choice for lifestyle in the sought-after South Brisbane property market.

Designed by renowned group ML Design, which is now integrated with bureau proberts, and built by leading Australian construction group, Hutchinson Builders, Ivy & Eve’s low-maintenance apartments capture extensive natural light and ventilation.

Under cover balconies provide all weather living that flows seamlessly to open plan indoor areas with modern colour palettes, elegantly appointed bathrooms and versatile kitchens with leading appliances and finely crafted joinery.

All apartments have an allocated car space within the building and plenty of visitor parking.

Within easy walking distance of South Bank, the CBD, West End and Brisbane’s best cultural and entertainment precincts, as well as public transport, health services and educational institutions, Ivy & Eve is at the heart of it all.

With four more premium lifestyle developments in the pipeline for Brisbane and Melbourne, CDL is looking forward to delivering more world-class homes and bringing its extensive global residential experience to Australia.
