Construction has commenced on Duet Porta, the first tower within Red & Co’s $800 million multi-stage Duet Portside development in Hamilton, marking a significant milestone in the project’s phased delivery.
The milestone was marked with a sod turning ceremony at the 7,500 sqm site at 11–23 MacArthur Avenue, Northshore Hamilton, Brisbane, with builder 5Point appointed to deliver the 25-level tower, first stage called Duet Porta, which has an end value of $350 million.
Duet Porta forms the first stage of the broader two-tower Duet Portside development within the tightly held Portside precinct in Northshore Hamilton, where opportunities for new development remain limited.
Duet Porta features a collection of 200 premium residences, offering a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, including two-bedroom plus multi-purpose room and three-bedroom plus multi-purpose room configurations, supported by extensive wellness amenities.
Apartments at Duet Porta are priced from $1,045,000 with a mix of configurations designed to appeal to a broad buyer demographic, from first home buyers, local downsizers, and owner-occupiers to interstate purchasers, reflecting broader shifts in demand towards well-located, amenity-rich apartment living.
Red & Co Director and Co-Founder Keiran Foster said the commencement of construction at Duet Porta is a significant milestone for the project, which reflects our confidence in the Brisbane market, particularly for premium apartments in prime inner-city locations.
“The appointment of builder 5Point to deliver Duet Porta provides an important layer of certainty in the current construction environment, with completion scheduled for Q2 2028.
“Securing an experienced builder is critical in the current market, and 5Point brings a strong track record in delivering residential projects of this scale.
“Northshore Hamilton’s Portside is one of Brisbane’s most established lifestyle-rich precincts, and opportunities to deliver new premium apartments in this location are increasingly limited.
“Our focus has been on delivering design-led luxury apartments that respond to the riverfront setting, supported by extensive wellness amenities, while meeting the expectations of owner-occupiers seeking quality, space and long-term value.
“A key design priority for Duet Porta is incorporating considerable lifestyle wellness amenities with the rooftop level featuring a 25m swimming pool, leisure BBQ and dining spaces overlooking the Brisbane River and the city skyline, complemented by a gymnasium with sauna and residents’ lounge on level six,” Mr Foster said.
Architecturally designed by award-winning Plus Studio, Duet Porta emphasises liveability through spacious apartment layouts and high-quality finishes, while responding to its riverfront setting with a built form inspired by the Brisbane River’s fluidity, maximising natural light, outlook and connection to the landscape.
Duet Porta is presented to the market by luxury apartment marketing specialist TOTAL Property Group, with Managing Director Adrian Parsons saying the commencement of construction is a key driver of buyer confidence, particularly in the current cycle, where delivery certainty is a major consideration.
“Duet Portside, developed by Red & Co, a leading design-led Brisbane developer, with a long-standing track record of delivering high-quality residential projects, provides a strong level of confidence for purchasers, particularly in terms of quality, delivery capability and long-term value.
“Brisbane’s residential market has recorded sustained growth, underpinned by strong population increases, relative affordability and continued infrastructure investment.
“We are seeing a clear shift towards apartment living, particularly from downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking high-quality residences in established, amenity-rich inner-city locations, with Duet Porta designed to align with that demand.
“Compared to southern markets, Brisbane continues to offer compelling value, which is driving increased interest from interstate buyers, particularly from Sydney and Melbourne, especially in the lead up to the 2032 Olympic Games,” Mr Parsons said.
For over 10 years, Red & Co has delivered apartments and townhouses across 26 residential projects throughout Brisbane, building a proven track record in the delivery of quality developments in key inner-city locations.
Duet Portside, located at 11–23 MacArthur Avenue, Hamilton, Brisbane, is adjacent to Portside Wharf, a vibrant riverfront lifestyle hub featuring a variety of restaurants, cafes, specialty shops, a supermarket and a cinema.
Nearby is the Racecourse Road boutique shopping and dining precinct and the Brisbane Riverwalk, with connectivity to the CBD and convenient access to Gateway Motorway, Brisbane Airport and major transport infrastructure.
