Redcliffe’s famed foreshore is set to change again with plans unveiled for a “transformative addition” along the waterfront. 

Here’s a guide to that huge development and others being proposed, likely to start, already underway and expected to finish in 2025.

One Redcliffe: Gardner Vaughan Group’s (GVG) debut project in the Moreton Bay region will have 214 apartments in two main sections on the corner of Anzac Ave and Redcliffe Pde.

One Redcliffe will be a mixed-use precinct combining residential living, 11 tenancies for dining and retail, as well as social spaces.

GVG says One Redcliffe will be "a transformative addition to the Redcliffe community", a “catalyst” for economic activity, support small business and attract new investment.

“This project reflects our vision to deliver spaces that not only offer stunning homes but also enhance the identity and livability of the communities we serve,” GVG director Sam Gardner says.

"One Redcliffe represents more than just a new development; it’s a commitment to the growth and vibrancy of the Redcliffe community."
