With retirement bringing with it the pleasure of spare time, you’ll be in the perfect location to see as many games as you want.

South City Square embraces Woolloongabba’s dynamic identity and is recognised as a residential and community destination unlike anywhere else in Brisbane and has put Woolloongabba on the map. The master plan includes the delivery of Hyatt Place Brisbane Hotel, Woolworths supermarket, health & wellness precinct, childcare centre, Reading cinema complex, restaurants and boutique cafes.

Residents of South City Square Woolloongabba enjoy the convenience of meeting friends and family at one of the boutique cafes located right on their doorstep without having to travel.
Close to Amenities
While Woolloongabba residents have a more laid back and relaxed atmosphere, they do still benefit from their close proximity to the Brisbane CBD and soon with access to Brisbane’s new underground rail. Woolloongabba is surrounded by some of Brisbane’s largest health precincts, including the Princess Alexander and Mater Hospital, as well as leading universities, and of course, is very well connected with transport options providing easy access into the city or out to the Gold Coast.
A Prime Location
With such amazing connectivity to all Brisbane has to offer, it’s no surprise that new residential developments are springing up in this prime location. Apartment buildings – or vertical living communities as they are now called – are small enough to be constructed in areas usually financially off-limits to retirees, first-home buyers, and beginner investors. Don’t let their limited space fool you, these apartments are filled to the brim with luxury inclusions, from entertaining spaces, gardens, pools, cinemas, and more!
