The launch of the landmark $232 million Coorparoo Square project on May 16 will change the face of the suburb forever. There will be more than 360 apartments and 6,000 square metres of retail including restaurants, cafes and a 10-screen Dendy Cinemas complex all due for completion by 2017.
If the artist’s impressions are any indication, Coorparoo Square looks to be a spectacular set up and, at only 4.5km from Brisbane CBD, is so close to the city.
Coorparoo Square will occupy an entire block, is located on the corner of Old Cleveland Rd, Cavendish Rd, Harries Rd and Holdsworth St and has close proximity to the PA Hospital, Lady Clento Hospital and Woolloongabba Sports Stadium.
Leading and long-established developers Australand and Honeycombes Property Group are jointly developing the project and already the pre-launch interest is significant.
Honeycombes Property Group Managing Director Peter Honeycombe said, “The local community has been looking forward to the revitalisation of this previously underutilised site, and the extent of the overwhelmingly positive response to date reflects the demand for both new apartments and a dining and entertainment precinct in the area. Coorparoo Square will be a focal point for locals and give an iconic site the breath of fresh air it needs.”
Australand Queensland General Manager Residential, Cameron Leggatt said pre-launch enquiry has been a mix of investors and owner-occupiers seeking an affordable, urban address. “Coorparoo is a great lifestyle area full of large, character houses and people are looking for a home that combines this aspect with low maintenance and convenience,” he said. “Many local residents are looking to downsize but want to retain the advantages of living in Coorparoo such as proximity to key amenities and transport.”
Once you’ve settled into your new community at Coorparoo Square, you’ll realise just how handy everything is. The developers have taken into account the mainstays of modern living and made sure you have easy access to all of them. A mere hop, skip and jump away will be Coles, Woolworths and an array of smaller specialities including Merlo Coffee, an organic butcher and boutique shopping and services.
Aiming for a vibrant and welcoming vibe, the village will have an array of planned and sophisticated laneway retail spaces. Plus cinema chain Dendy Cinemas has signed up as the operator of Coorparoo Square’s theatre complex which will include seven standard screens and three Dendy Premium Lounge screens. The luxury of these will include fully-reclining leather seating and a pre-screening premium dining and bar lounge.
Coorparoo Square will include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as a limited number of luxury penthouses. Apartments at Coorparoo Square are priced from $339,000 and all apartments have access to ‘Club Coorparoo’ which includes a Tennis Court, 25m lap pool, gym and a private dining on the podium level.In addition to its residential and retail elements, the three-building project will include more than 640 car spaces.
National building company Probuild began demolition work on the site in April, with the project expected to be complete by late 2017.
Coorparoo Square will publicly launch to the market on Saturday May 16. Pop down to check out all the action and see if this could become your new home.

What a shame.
For every one Coorparoo resident for this project there are a multitude against. In fact, I haven’t heard anyone living in the area speak favourably about this project (I’m sure there must be some). The impact to the area will be significant yes, but not in a positive way.
This being built next to one (or two) of the busiest peak hour roads in Brisbane’s south is not the smartest of decisions, for a start. But when you have no idea, and don’t live in the area. Will not be affected by this decision, are too arrogant and forthright. Or mores the point, just don’t care, how you are degrading the quality of life, of the people living near this “Hub”. Then you will think this is a great idea. Is money really that blinding with regard to reason and common sense, can it have such a heavy effect on our intelligence, and bring the wisest of us down to a level of foolish irrationality.
With (at the moment) no government/city council support or protection for existing residence (there’s token gestures, but nothing really, and council knows it, community planning team, ha, what a farce) things like this will continue to happen unimpeded. If you’re for something like this I’m more than happy for it to be built next to you.
At the moment all we (the average person) have are words. Words that make developers laugh. Words that the (proverbial) desperate 80 year old widow living next to a development cling to. Words that bead up and roll out of the ears of the people that count, the people who are in the positions they are because we put them there to serve all of us not a few. People who should be listening because only they can make a difference. Because one day it may be their Grandmother/Parents/etc.
What happened to Queensland, our empathy, our good natured attitude towards others? A place where everyone counts & gets a fair-go? Where we stood up for the little guy, & helped those who needed help. What happened to the smart state?
What a shame.
I’m delighted to see that monstrosity wiped off the face of the earth. The heart of Coorparoo is looking like a third world country.
Coorparoo used to have some character.
I was born and bred in Coorparoo in 1949 , attending both Coorparoo State & High schools.
It was a great place to live, and when Myers was built in the early 60’s it really made the whole suburb came alive.
Over the last 20 years at least, the suburb has been run down, with most businesses failing and the place looks old and tired.
This new venture “Coorparoo Square” will breathe new life into this suburb.
My elderly mother is 95, and still resides in Coorparoo and is looking forward to the completion of this project.
Great work by the construction company, in restoring the Myers sign.
