The Brisbane suburb of West End sits on an oxbow of the
meandering Brisbane River, directly linked by three
bridges to the CBD (including the aptly-named Go
Between Bridge which actually celebrates the ‘80s indie
rock band).
Like inner suburbs everywhere,West End is undergoing
substantial change, attracting young professionals,
academics and “empty nesters”, drawn by its proximity,
motorway access and lively street life.
Reach and Drift are the first stage of Pradella
Developments’Waters Edge, a $570 million, three hectare
development along Riverside Drive.When all stages are
complete, the site will blend residential living with retail
and commercial developments.
