In one of Brisbane’s most vibrant suburbs, a striking new residential landmark will offer its residents the opportunity to live above all else.
Located at Longland and Kyabra streets, this luxury development in the heart of Newstead will soon become the tallest building in Brisbane’s vibrant inner city.
The name ‘oro’ means gold in Italian – a fitting title for a building whose Italian-influenced architecture and exceptional lifestyle set a benchmark for apartment living in Brisbane.
“ORO’s architecture is inspired by the greats of Italy, especially Carlo Scarpa,” says Max Panettiere of Panettiere Developments.
He explains that the stepped shape and refined details create a sense of depth and craftsmanship, while the use of travertine stone brings timeless warmth and texture associated with Italian design.
Why Newstead is Brisbane’s new lifestyle hotspot
Just outside the hustle and bustle of Fortitude Valley’s nightlife, Newstead combines a strong sense of community with an enviable connected lifestyle.
“Newstead is one of those rare places that really has it all: it’s vibrant yet sophisticated,” says Mr Panettiere.
“You have river walks, parks, great restaurants and shops, and a walkable lifestyle that feels almost European in energy.”
ORO will be part of a new Little Italy shopping district nearby, bringing a vibrant and culturally rich destination for residents and the wider community.
The precinct celebrates Brisbane’s strong Italian heritage, offering the best of Italian food, wine and craftsmanship in a contemporary setting.
“Italians have played such a defining role in shaping the character of Brisbane, and this precinct pays tribute to that legacy, bringing the warmth, creativity and everyday joy of Italian life back to the heart of Newstead,” Mr Panettiere said.
ORO is also close to Gasworks Plaza, the scenic Riverwalk and convenient public transportation options, making everyday life effortlessly connected.

Within the gold standard of apartment living
Designed by Carr, one of Australia’s leading architecture and interior design studios, ORO homes are designed to complement modern living.
Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views across Brisbane, while light palettes and carefully selected materials enhance natural light to make spaces feel even more open.
“Each home at ORO is designed with space, light and flow in mind,” says Mr. Panettiere.
“The layouts are generous and intuitive, with seamless indoor and outdoor living and sophisticated finishes throughout.”
The development offers 197 homes, ranging from one to five-bedroom apartments, as well as sub-penthouses and penthouses, catering for a variety of lifestyle needs.
“It’s luxury that feels effortless, a true benchmark for modern Brisbane apartment living,” Mr Panettiere added.
ORO homes are designed with luxury and Italian-inspired craftsmanship in mind.
How design and amenities are reshaping city life
ORO offers residents a range of world-class amenity spaces.
For wellness, there is an indoor swimming pool, hot and cold plunge pools, sauna and steam rooms, a salt therapy room, a Pilates studio and a fully equipped Technogym gym.
Other facilities include a media room, games and entertainment room, private dining room and bar, outdoor BBQ area, residents lounge and guest suite.
Dedicated co-working spaces, offices and even a podcast studio make working from home easy, with all the technology and facilities available.
The crown jewel is the rooftop pool.
“The rooftop pool will be something very special, high above the city with panoramic views,” says Mr Panettiere.
“It’s not just a space to relax, but a sanctuary in the sky. I think residents will love how it combines resort-style pampering with everyday livability.”
The rooftop pool is just one of ORO’s beautiful luxury amenities.
Built with durability in mind
ORO’s design incorporates energy-efficient systems, high-quality glazing and sustainable material choices to ensure comfort with a lighter environmental footprint.
From natural ventilation strategies to efficient water use, every element is expected to provide residents with a home that is both luxurious and responsible.
Tailored to a varied lifestyle
ORO homes are designed with flexibility in mind and can accommodate a mix of living arrangements.
Generous floor plans and varied apartment sizes meet a variety of needs – from professionals who prioritize location and amenities, to families looking for more space, and those looking to downsize while staying connected to vibrant city life.
With a range of layouts, including sub-penthouses and penthouses, ORO has something for every buyer.
