Drawing inspiration from the Spanish town of Murcia, these brand-new apartments currently bring a touch of Mediterranean luxury to Brisbane’s Woolloongabba.
These brand-new homes by developer Sarazin have been architecturally designed by HAL Architects and consist of one-two-three-, and four-bedroom apartments priced from $775,000.
The homes are centrally located in Woolloongabba.
Located in Woolloongabba which is South of Brisbane, the development has been named after the Spanish orchard city of Murcia and designed with Mediterranean flavour.
“We have taken the Spanish influence from the region and tried to blend it with something that is unique but also feels at home in the sub-tropical Brisbane environment,” explained Adam Rainbird, State Director of Sarazin.
“There are design elements of materiality, colour, landscaping, shading and vertical elements like the breezeblocks which really set the building apart from a design standpoint.”
With Hutchinson Builders appointed and construction underway, interest in Murcia is coming from a variety of buyers including downsizers, young professionals and families working in Brisbane's CBD as the sophisticated design and offer of a cosmopolitan lifestyle have been a strong drawcard.
Celebrating modern architecture while nodding to global design trends.
Refined luxury
HAL Architects were appointed to design Murcia and used Mediterranean design principles to complete the look with open plan living spaces that enhance natural light, connection with the outdoors, along with a celebration of community and the city.
Residents also have the option to customise their interiors with the choice to upgrade to Miele appliances, stone benchtops, designer pendant lighting and an integrated wine fridge, along with brushed bronze tapware and feature bathroom lighting.
Customisable interiors include luxurious appliances, stone benchtops and designer lighting.
Exceptional amenities
An impressive list of shared resident-only amenities adds to the scale of luxury Murcia has to offer. The rooftop infinity pool and private dining area will boast views of the city skyline and the famous Gabba stadium. The alfresco entertaining area also on the rooftop includes private dining and barbecue facilities and an edible orchard with olive trees, lemons, finger limes and rosemary to recreate the feeling of being in a quaint Mediterranean town.
The piece de resistance is the wellness centre which features chilled and heated magnesium plunge pools, a steam room and a sauna eliminating the need for expensive trips to a day spa.

“In the past few years there has been a shift to wellness focused living and design within our community. The design philosophy for Murcia was about creating a serious of heavily landscaped areas that integrate wellness and connection, so residents can socialise, recharge, interact and enjoy life living in an exceptional residential community,” said Mr Rainbird.
Prime Brisbane location
Woolloongabba is a fast-growing inner-city suburb of Brisbane with easy access to the CBD at only a 5-minute drive away. The new Cross River Rail will mean residents can avoid traffic and is only stop away from the new Queens Wharf precinct and two stops from Roma Street Station. It’s also close to three major university campuses – UQ, QUT and Griffith South Bank.
Residents can enjoy the benefits of wellness amenities right on their doorstep.
“It has all the lifestyle offerings you could want in a suburb within easy walking access to the Kangaroo point cliffs, multiple top restaurants and cafes, convenient access to freeways and is only minutes’ walk to the South City Square precinct with a major Woolworths and over 30+ retail and commercial offerings,” said Mr Rainbird.
“Previously underrated, Woolloongabba is emerging as the next premium lifestyle precinct and soon to be the most connected suburb to the Brisbane CBD.”
The position of Murcia also means residents will have uninterrupted views of the cityscape and Brisbane River along with the infamous Gabba where cricket is a particular highlight.
Woolloongabba is also a high growth suburb which makes it popular with investors. This south of Brisbane suburb saw 12.1% growth in median price over 12 months for units and a 5.8% rental yield.

Sustainability features
Sustainability has been a major consideration in Murcia’s design and according to Mr Rainbird, it’s a consideration of new developments buyers prefer to be included.
“As developers of built form, we take our commitment to sustainability seriously, as the decisions we make today help future proof the building and provide a more sustainable community for future residents,” said Mr Rainbird.
In addition to over 3,000 plants in the project, Murcia has committed to several initiatives including, solar panels that feed back to the common areas to lower body corporate, provision of EV chargers to resident car parks, rainwater harvesting and a 4-star green-star rating.
