Homes have already sold at Hobart’s latest home development — and they only launched officially to the public yesterday.
The River View is a boutique collection of 51 contemporary townhouses overlooking the River Derwent.
The official launch to the public was held on October 4 at No.38 Jetty Rd, Old Beach. However, early momentum saw eight homes sold ahead of launch.
Developed by GIC Estates and delivered by SJM Property Developments, The River View has been designed to offer the perfect balance of style, comfort and value, with prices starting from $500,000.
Sales are being led by Elders Real Estate Hobart agents Rose Allie and Mickey White.

With low stock in this price bracket and multiple government incentives for first-home buyers, The River View brings premium features within reach for owner-occupiers. For investors, a tight rental market and depreciation benefits further enhance the value proposition.
A spokesman for the developer, GIC Estates, said Old Beach combines river outlooks, mountain scenery and everyday convenience — exactly the kind of lifestyle Tasmanians are seeking.
“With The River View, our vision is to deliver premium, well-built townhouses that remain genuinely attainable,” they said.
“We’ve partnered with SJM Property Developments to ensure quality at every step, and we’re proud to be bringing this community to market at a time of strong buyer demand.”

The River View offering spans two, three and four-bedroom townhouses.
The design language draws inspiration from Old Beach’s natural setting — mountain backdrops and the area’s history of sandstone extraction — expressed through earth-inspired exterior selections and a calm, natural colour palette that sits comfortably within the surrounding landscape.
Inside, finishes and textures have been curated to create a cohesive, liveable atmosphere across each home, with attention to durability and everyday comfort.
Each home will be fully insulated and include reverse-cycle heating and airconditioning for year-round comfort.
