Forget rooftop pools — a developer is planning what is believed to be one of Australia’s only residential towers with a rooftop tennis court, alongside golf simulators and a Tesla robot room.
Cavcorp has unveiled plans for ‘Teneriffe House’ — a luxury new residential project in the inner Brisbane suburb of Teneriffe, which will replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower.

The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site.
Central to the development is a new pedestrian laneway that will run through the heart of the site and permanently secured for public use.
Called ‘Teneriffe Lane’, the 85m cross-block link will transform what was once a private Woolstore service easement into a pedestrian connection between Wyandra and Helen streets, linking the heritage riverwalk with the Gasworks and Long Island precincts.
But it is the eye-watering, five-level wellness and lifestyle offering that is expected to turn heads.

Plans for the project include a rooftop “longevity club” featuring a tennis court, 25m high-performance lap pool, resort pools, spas, saunas and sun lounges — all sitting above one of Brisbane’s most tightly held riverside suburbs.
Residents will also have access to golf simulators, a bike workshop, coworking spaces, concierge facilities, climate-controlled wine storage, acoustic work suites and a dedicated Uber pick-up zone.
In perhaps the boldest sign yet of where luxury apartment living is heading, the building will even include a “Tesla Optimus robotic room” designed for future robotic logistics and autonomous vehicle integration.

Cavcorp managing director Damien Cavallucci said the project was designed to push the boundaries of apartment living in Brisbane.
“Teneriffe Lane is more than a laneway — it is a permanent contribution to Brisbane’s public fabric,” Mr Cavallucci said.
“The 85m connection transforms a former private easement into a safe, activated pedestrian route for the whole community.”
Mr Cavallucci said the project was designed as a “vertical neighbourhood” combining wellness, work, recreation and walkability in a single address.
The laneway itself will sit beneath a subtropical “urban verandah” inspired by Mediterranean design principles and Brisbane’s outdoor lifestyle.
It will feature water gardens, layered planting, wine bars, book clubs, lobby spaces and business lounges aimed at activating the public realm.
The project will also introduce what Cavcorp has dubbed “sky-pool homes” — oversized luxury apartments inspired by Teneriffe’s historic Woolstores.

The homes will feature private thermal plunge pools on balconies, soaring ceiling heights, fireplaces, pendant lighting and oversized verandah-style outdoor spaces designed to maximise natural ventilation and river breezes.
Mr Cavallucci said the apartments were targeted at buyers wanting “house-like amenity without the maintenance burden”, particularly downsizers seeking luxury living close to the city.
“The sky-pool homes are designed to capture the spirit of Teneriffe’s Woolstore heritage — volume, texture, craftsmanship and permanence — while delivering a new level of private resort living,” he said.
The project forms part of Cavcorp’s broader vision for the Long Island Gasworks precinct, which also includes plans for a major public piazza in nearby Newstead, and adds to its other nearby apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare.
It comes as Brisbane developers increasingly compete on high-end lifestyle offerings as affluent downsizers and interstate buyers continue to pour into the city’s prestige apartment market.
