A combination of owner-occupiers, corporate guests and permanent rentals, Oaks Festival Suites is the epitome of idyllic Brisbane City living! The buildings’ site was previously occupied by the iconic ‘Festival Hall’ that hosted sporting events and concerts, remaining Brisbane’s primary indoor venue for more than 40 years. Oaks Festival Suites is situated one minute from the new Albert Street Station, currently underway as part of Brisbane’s Cross-River-Rail project and the first inner-city train station to be built in over 120 years. Oaks Festival Suites was designed by large-scale architect Cox Rayner who pays homage to the sites’ heritage through a ‘Festival Hall Walk of Fame’ art installation in the foyer, reusing the original timber seatbacks from the hall and images of the many concerts and sporting events that were held there. Over 41 levels, the building hosts a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that offer galley-style kitchens with sophisticated appliances, functional floor plans and alfresco balconies that capture views of the sparkling city and beyond.
New York rooftop-inspired layout amongst the surrounding buildings, Oaks Festival Suites incorporate a 25m lap pool, plunge pool, sundeck, sauna, gymnasium, jacuzzi and BBQ area, affording residents with five-star facilities. In 2003, the building made Australian history for the fastest sell-out of apartments, with 400 apartments sold in just 138 minutes. Positioned in the vibrant hub of the CBD, the lifestyle and convenience of Festival Suites is unrivalled, located 260m from the Queen Street Mall, 500m from Eagle Street Pier and central to a myriad of trendy cafes, boutiques and amenities.
