Get ready – we’re bringing a new dimension to boutique, inner-city living. 

The countdown is on with just four weeks until the opening of Montague Markets & Residences. 

And testimony to the Pradella vision, buyers have already snapped up more than 80 per cent of apartments in first stage of the project. 

The outstanding response from customers has already prompted fast-tracking of the second stage, Ferry Residences, many months ahead of schedule. 

This will be a major milestone in our 60-year history of creating high quality properties and the 20th project delivered in the 4101 postcode, offering an unparalleled lifestyle as well as a much-needed lifestyle hub for the suburb. 

We are now in the final stages of preparations for our mid-September opening, with the finishing touches for internal fitout being applied to the apartments, as well as many of the shops within the Montague Markets retail precinct. 

We are also currently installing thousands of lush, subtropical plants to make the expansive landscaped spaces come alive. 

Stage 1 of Montague Markets features 89 luxurious one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with alfresco dining and a vibrant public plaza.  

A new full-line 3,400sqm Woolworths supermarket – the first for West End – will feature within the retail precinct along with a BWS and about 15 specialty retailers. 

Woolworths Queensland Property Manager, Phillip Peel, said the fit-out of the supermarket was well under way.  

“We are halfway through our four-week fit-out period. All the refrigeration is in and we are now setting up the cash registers,” said Mr Peel. 

“Within weeks we will have stocked the store so that everything will be fully functional when Montague Markets is officially launched.” 

Montague Markets will showcase more than 2,000 square metres of private recreational facilities including a lush rooftop skygarden with panoramic views of the entire city skyline. 

A lagoon pool and shaded lounge deck, outdoor cinema with sculpted viewing platforms, yoga space and lawn area with a waterfall backdrop will add to its ambience. 

Residents will also have exclusive access to a covered pizza terrace and outdoor oven, a private recreation room and lounge, as well as an outdoor bar and dining area.

Award-winning Tigerlamb hair salon will bring a sense of glamour and sophistication to women’s styling when it opens at Montague Markets this spring.

The design of the new 106 square metre salon will showcase Tigerlamb’s signature ambience with extensive use of decorative stencilling, calming spaces and stage lighting, offering customers a retreat from the world outside.

Tigerlamb owner Helen Owens

It’s a place for pampering and “a little bit of affordable luxury,” according to owner Helen Owens.

“The new retail precinct at Montague Markets represents an exciting opportunity for her business,” she said. “We’ve worked hard to build a name in Brisbane synonymous with beautiful styling and creating a phenomenal experience for our customers.

“West End is so progressive and we’re excited to be part of it all, and especially within this development by Pradella, who we are huge fans of.’’

With salons at Bowen Hills, Portside and Coorparoo, Tigerlamb has carved an enviable reputation for quality, and is a finalist in seven categories of the upcoming Queensland Hairdressing Industry Awards this year alone.

Celebrating a 30-year career in hairdressing, Helen’s eclectic passions for creativity, theatre and at one point – motorcycle racing – have shaped her innovative approach to the industry.

“The leathers I used to race in were named Tiger Angel.  To me it represented two sides of a personality and I carried that through to the naming of Tigerlamb,’’ she said.

“The name illustrates that we are available to all genres – masculine, feminine, strong, meek, funky, traditional wild, conservative, young or old.’’

“I also have a love for the theatre, which explains the creativity that envelopes the design of all our salons.

“When I started work as an apprentice, I shared a house with a group of actors at Petrie Terrace. We lived next to Crazies Comedy restaurant where I worked at night after hairdressing during the day.

I continued my love of the arts with the Queensland Theatre Company and was involved in La Boite Theatre Company for many years.

“I am blessed to have some of the heart of these experiences presented in the slightly theatrical stage we have created in our salons.”

Helen’s career has also taken her to London and Milan where she worked as a session stylist for high end brands, had a celebrity clientele in Hampstead and styled hair on production sets for music video clips.

The Tigerlamb team has also styled locks at Sydney, Brisbane and New York Fashion Weeks and Fashion Festivals.

Having cultivated an enviable reputation in Brisbane, Helen said Tigerlamb’s focus was on “creating beautiful healthy hair’’.

“Our thorough consultations allow us to understand and cater for all levels of investment our guests choose to make in their hair. I would describe our services as affordable luxury,‘’ she said.

“We specialise in blonde colouring and are experts in colour correction, with our services heavily geared towards cutting, colouring and styling whether for maintenance or a complete makeover.’’

Stencilling, stagelighting and calming spaces are part of the Tigerlamb look

With sushi one of the hottest trends in Australian dining, foodies take note.

At Montague Markets, you can soon be savouring steaming ramen or the delicate delights of Okonomiyaki – an exciting and growing new restaurant chain.

Wara Sushi, under the guidance of former civil engineer Tony Choi, is about to open its 11^th restaurant in Queensland in the space of six years, and has chosen West End’s Montague Markets as the location.

“I spent a lot of time at West End when I was working as a civil engineer,’’ said Mr Choi, who is enjoying the challenge of his relatively recent career switch.

“I like the vibrancy and the family demographic of the area and with the opening of our new restaurant at Montague Markets we are excited to be part of it all,’’ he said.

Mr Choi said that besides aiming to create the best-tasting sushi in Australia, Wara Sushi also owed its success to its vibrant store fit-outs, state-of-the-art kitchen equipment and IT systems.

The restaurant venture now employs more than 200 staff.

“We opened our first store at Logan in 2014. I chose to enter the restaurant industry because my mother was a shop owner and my father was a shopfitter,’’ said Mr Choi.

“It was an ideal foundation for launching a business. My father has been involved in all of the fit-outs and although now semi-retired will be looking in on Montague Markets as well.’’

Wara Sushi will feature a rotating sushi bar along with a tablet menu ordering system. The 150 square metre floorplan meanwhile has been designed to accommodate up to 70 diners.

The convenience of the sushi bar is perfect for office workers seeking a tasty, healthy lunch served up quickly. Diners can also sit at a table for a relaxed local experience.

It’s licensed – so you can order sake, among other beverages, as well.

While the menu changes with the seasons, among perennial favourites are The Lion King (a grilled scallop roll covered in a cheesy sauce and torched on top) and the Dynamite roll (featuring deep-fried chicken for lovers of spice).

When Sydney locals Bill and Kathleen decided to downsize, nothing compared to the apartment size, amenity and lifestyle offered at Montague Markets West End.

Bill and Kathleen Coote have been living in their current Sydney home and raising their family in a large house for more than 26 years. Like many retirees, they began thinking recently about their lifestyle and considering their living options for the future.

Regular visitors to Brisbane to see their daughter and grandchildren, on a recent trip to West End the couple decided to investigate what apartments they could find in the area that suited their lifestyle.

“We had been looking to downsize for a little while but couldn’t find anything in Sydney that suited our budget,” said Bill. “When we found our apartment at Montague Markets we were very impressed with the design, size and lifestyle offered.”

Having lived in a large family home in Sydney for many years, Bill and Kathleen wanted to downsize to something more manageable in a great location but didn’t want to compromise on the spacious living areas they had grown accustomed to.

With a large extended family of 12 children and grandchildren, the couple needed space for family BBQs and other get-togethers.

“Other apartments in the area couldn’t compare on size and quality,” Bill said. “What attracted us to Montague Markets was the generous size of the lounge, dining and master bedroom. The balcony is also very large at more than 100sqm which will be perfect for the grandkids.”

Apart from the size of their apartment, Bill and Kathleen were also attracted to the design of the apartments. The retirees opted for a light colour scheme for their apartment and were very impressed with the design and layout options.

Consideration for their future was also an important factor for Bill who said that the project offered everything they needed.

“We don’t have to go anywhere,” Bill said. “Everything is here that we need which is good as we are getting older. I don’t know anywhere else in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne that you can get everything you do here at Montague Markets.”

We look forward to welcoming Bill and Kathleen to their new home at Montague Markets this September.
