Cannon Hill’s billion-dollar village precinct sees apartments sell fast

14 hours ago 6

From the creators of the award-winning Emporium precincts, Vila at East Village has made a decisive entry into Brisbane’s residential market, with more than 70 per cent of residences sold in less than 90 days of launching.

Vila is the latest residential release within the long-awaited, billion-dollar East Village precinct.

East Village, located on one of the most significant sites in Cannon Hill, is a multi-stage masterplanned precinct that will ultimately bring together residential living, retail, commercial spaces and lifestyle amenity.

AJG chief executive Daniel John said the strong result positioned Vila as one of the standout apartment releases of the year and underscored growing buyer confidence in well-located, design-led developments backed by experienced delivery teams.

“The early sales momentum reflects both the strength of the product and the broader trajectory of Brisbane as a global city,” he said.

More than 70 per cent of residences have been sold at Anthony John Group’s Vila at East Village in Cannon Hill.

“East Village is the result of years of careful planning and a clear belief in Brisbane’s future.

“As the city continues to grow and prepares for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, there’s an increasing demand for high-quality, well-connected communities.

“Vila represents the first step in delivering that vision, and the response from the market has been extremely encouraging.”

Comprising 137 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, Vila has attracted broad market appeal, with demand coming from both owner-occupiers and investors seeking quality apartments in a location close to the CBD and established transport connections.

Mr John said remaining residences were priced from $1.099m and offered a premium yet accessible entry point into a precinct designed for long-term growth.

The multi-stage masterplanned precinct will bring together residential living, retail, commercial spaces and lifestyle amenity.

Designed in collaboration with Bureau Proberts, Vila places a strong emphasis on architecture, functionality and liveability, with floorplans and communal spaces carefully considered to suit a range of lifestyles.

Its position within the East Village masterplan ensures residents will benefit from future amenity and infrastructure as the precinct evolves over time.

Sales for Vila are being led by YPM Group, whose managing director Bryce O’Connor said the project’s success lay in its rare combination of location, amenity and developer credibility.

“Vila offers what buyers are actively looking for right now – proximity to the city, strong transport links, and a genuine lifestyle precinct taking shape around it,” he said.

Set to feature 137 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, the remaining apartments are priced from $1.099m.

“When you combine that with the quality of the design and the strength of Anthony John Group’s track record, it’s not surprising the project has resonated so strongly. It really does offer the best of everything.”

Mr O’Connor said the pace of sales also reflected a shift in buyer behaviour, with purchasers prioritising developments that offered certainty, thoughtful planning and long-term value rather than short-term trends.

“As the latest residential chapter of East Village, Vila sets the benchmark for future stages within the precinct, reinforcing AJG’s reputation for creating places that endure well beyond initial delivery,” he said.

“With sales continuing and interest remaining strong, Vila at East Village is shaping up as one of Brisbane’s most closely watched residential projects as the city enters its next phase of growth.”
