Located in at the centre of South Brisbane’s arts and cultural precinct, Upper House is a highly sought-after luxury residential development by Aria Property Group. The 34-storey tower comprises 188 luxury apartments, as well as Australia’s first double-storey rooftop club, a state-of-the-art health and wellness club and a four-level basement carpark.

Residents will have easy access to a host of amenities, including West End’s eclectic dining and entertainment hub, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Queensland Museum, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and the emerging outdoor Fish Lane Arts Precinct.

The dramatic facade of the development is inspired by nature, and the composition of timber ribbons, dancing balconies and specialist lighting make Upper House a prominent addition to the South Brisbane skyline.
