Brisbane’s Next Great Riverfront Address is Taking Shape
Set on one of the city’s last absolute riverfront sites, The Riversdale by Mosaic combines irreplaceable waterfront ownership with one of Brisbane’s most significant residential opportunities.

The most coveted properties are rarely defined by amenity alone. Their value lies in something far more enduring: a position that cannot be recreated.
Occupying one of the final north-facing, absolute riverfront sites in South Brisbane, The Riversdale commands an extraordinary position where the Brisbane River arcs towards the city, capturing sweeping views across water, skyline and parkland.
Positioned between the cultural sophistication of South Bank and the creative energy of West End, it sits at the centre of one of Brisbane’s most connected, walkable and desirable lifestyle precincts.
For Mosaic, one of Australia’s most awarded and trusted developer-builders, The Riversdale represents far more than another residential project. It is the culmination of a vision first pursued in 2018, when the company identified the site as one of Brisbane’s last truly irreplaceable riverfront opportunities.
Defined by a relentless commitment to design excellence, craftsmanship and enduring value, Mosaic has built a reputation for creating residences distinguished not only by their architectural quality, but by the way they are lived in and enjoyed for decades to come. The Riversdale is perhaps the purest expression of that philosophy to date.
Designed in collaboration with acclaimed architects Bureau Proberts, the landmark development draws inspiration from the movement of the river itself. Sculptural in form, its flowing curves, layered articulation and expansive glazing respond to light, outlook and connection to place, creating a distinctive architectural presence on Brisbane’s evolving waterfront.
The development comprises 213 residences and Masterpiece Sky Homes, each designed with an emphasis on generosity, permanence and livability. Natural stone, richly crafted timber finishes and meticulously detailed joinery create interiors of understated luxury, while expansive glazing and outdoor living spaces immerse residents in ever-changing river and city vistas.
Rather than following passing trends, every residence has been conceived as a timeless individual home designed to endure.
Beyond the residences, a carefully considered collection of extremely generous six-star hotel-inspired amenity elevates daily life. A concierge-serviced arrival experience, dedicated guest suites, private business facilities, wellness spaces and an exclusive resident EV fleet provide a level of convenience more commonly associated with the world’s leading luxury hotels.
Nearly 3,000 square metres of curated amenity culminates in a spectacular rooftop destination overlooking the river and city skyline. Resort-inspired leisure spaces, private dining experiences, sophisticated entertaining areas and landscaped retreats create opportunities for both celebration and relaxation.
Crowning the experience is an exclusive private club, conceived as a sophisticated social destination for residents and their guests. Beautifully appointed private dining rooms, elegant lounges, an intimate cocktail bar and a variety of entertaining spaces create the perfect setting for everything from casual gatherings to milestone celebrations.
Complemented by billiards, championship golf and Formula 1 simulators, it offers a rare blend of hospitality, recreation and connection, all framed by sweeping views across the Brisbane River and city skyline.
Yet its greatest luxury is its rarity.
The broader transformation of South Brisbane will introduce new public spaces, parklands and lifestyle amenity, further enhancing what is already Queensland’s premier cultural and lifestyle precinct. While the surrounding neighbourhood continues to evolve, The Riversdale will retain a true riverfront position that cannot be replicated.
At a time when opportunities for absolute riverfront ownership are becoming increasingly scarce, The Riversdale represents one of Brisbane’s last great waterfront acquisitions; a landmark address shaped by vision, underpinned by certainty and destined to become part of the city’s enduring legacy.
The Riversdale by Mosaic is currently under construction, with completion anticipated in late 2029.

Borrowers cannot control the Reserve Bank, but they can control how exposed their household budget is to its next decision. The RBA meets on 29 September with inflation concerns still elevated and major-bank economists increasingly bringing forward their rate-rise calls. Fixed mortgage rates have also been moving, reducing the value of waiting for perfect certainty. …

A five-bedroom Palo Alto home designed by Steven Ehrlich is listed for $44 million, making it the city’s most expensive listing. Built around a dramatic concrete spine, the home features four courtyards and a pool.

For years, tech entrepreneur Asher Waldfogel and his wife, Helyn MacLean, dreamed of building a modern house in Palo Alto, Calif.
The couple, however, worried about clashing with the Mediterranean-style architecture typically associated with their neighborhood of Old Palo Alto.
So they tapped architect Steven Ehrlich to create a design that paid homage to its surroundings with stucco, mahogany and titanium zinc cladding. They spent $20 million over several years building the house, completed in 2005.
Now looking to be closer to their adult daughter on the East Coast, they are putting the five-bedroom home on the market for $44 million—the most expensive listing in Palo Alto.
Waldfogel is an angel investor who co-founded Redback Networks, a telecommunications-equipment company. MacLean previously had a career in fundraising.
The couple purchased the roughly 0.4-acre site for $7.1 million in 2000 and demolished a circa-1930s Spanish Colonial home. The house they built pinwheels around a central staircase. It has 7,900 square feet of livable space, with four distinct courtyards and a pool.
A key feature of the home is a cast-in-place concrete wall, or spine, that is two stories high and about 80 feet long. “There’s a little bit of controlled chaos in what comes out of the form,” unlike a perfectly uniform surface, Waldfogel said. “If you want that, you do it in plastic.”
Waldfogel said he and his wife are thinking about the next phase of life now that their daughter is grown, although they have not decided where they will move. They also have a home in Sun Valley, Idaho.
“Right now we’re just trying to emotionally let go and decide what to do next,” he said.
Palo Alto, an epicenter of venture capital and tech startups in Silicon Valley, is home to some of the country’s biggest tech titans. Sales volume and prices are rising, with a median sale price of $3.5 million for the three months ending in August, up 5.8% year-over-year, according to real-estate brokerage Redfin.
Arthur Sharif of Sotheby’s International Realty—San Francisco Brokerage has the listing.
