Fortis, a prominent development firm from Sydney, has announced the successful development application approval for River House, a luxury 14-storey project along the Brisbane River in Kangaroo Point. This marks a significant addition to the evolving landscape of Kangaroo Point, highlighting the firm’s contribution to the area’s changing development scene.
Riverside Opulence Unveiled
River House stands as a testament to opulence, presenting an ensemble of 14 three-bedroom full-floor residences that command an unobstructed panorama of the Brisbane River. Offering residents exclusive views of the riverside spectacle and the iconic Story Bridge, the project promises an unparalleled living experience. Beyond the lavish interiors, residents will have access to an array of wellness facilities, including an infinity-edge pool, sauna, state-of-the-art gym, expansive riverside gardens, a communal lawn designed for entertainment, and a private pontoon.
Collaborating with Mim Design and Plus Architecture, Fortis has meticulously designed these expansive homes to showcase breathtaking riverfront views. Notably, River House introduces the first northeast-facing aspect to Kangaroo Point in over a decade, ensuring that residents of the New Farm-facing apartments are greeted by the mesmerizing morning sunrise over the Brisbane River, framing the world-renowned Howard Smith Wharves in the distance.


Kangaroo Point’s Unstoppable Transformation
The unveiling of River House coincides with Kangaroo Point’s rapid transformation, becoming a hub of activity within Brisbane. The area is witnessing the completion of several high-end projects, coupled with the ongoing construction of the Kangaroo Point to Botanical Gardens Green Bridge, a pivotal infrastructure development led by Mayor Adrian Schrinner.
Surpassing the halfway mark of its construction, the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge is set to enhance connectivity in the peninsula, further amplifying the appeal of high-end properties in the district. The strategic location of River House positions it to become an even more coveted residence, especially considering the accelerated preparations for the 2032 Olympics.

Fortis’ Strategic Move into Brisbane
Dan Bowman, the Associate Director at Fortis, expressed his excitement about the group’s expansion into Brisbane, underscoring the firm’s commitment to delivering excellence in every facet of the River House project.
“We are thrilled to be bringing the same level of quality and reputation synonymous with our Sydney Eastern Suburbs projects to this remarkable destination,”
In collaboration with Pallas Capital, Fortis aims to set new standards of luxury living with River House. The grand unveiling of this extraordinary project is slated for mid-late November 2023, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Brisbane’s riverfront landscape.
