Chester & Ella, one of Newstead's newest apartment developments, offers its residents the best of both worlds - exclusive amenities within its walls and endless entertainment just beyond its doorstep. 

The completed two-tower complex by national apartment developer Kokoda Property, which is all sold out but the Penthouse Collection, is ideally located at 7 Chester Street, a stone's throw from the likes of James Street Market, Gasworks Plaza and the popular Calile Hotel.

There are just a handful of penthouses remaining at Chester & Ella. Each have four bedrooms, four bathrooms and four parking spaces, and start from around 260 sqm.

The penthouses have a big focus on outdoor living. Sliding doors from the open plan kitchen, living and dining area open the apartments to a large entertaining terrace, extending the living space. The terraces have built-in outdoor kitchens set in sub-tropical landscaping.

Beyond the penthouse, residents are within walking distance from designer boutiques to numerous dining options. Whether indulging in Nodo's guilt-free pleasures or exploring the cultural treasures at QAGOMA, Newstead promises many lifestyle, commercial, education and entertainment hubs.

James Street Market, a fresh produce, dining, and homewares retail pavilion, is 400 metres from Chester & Ella, offering residents a variety of fruits and vegetables, pastries, meat, and seafood options all in one place.

The nearby shopping and dining precinct Gasworks Plaza offers even more stylish choices of restaurants and cafes, combining boutique retailers with a fresh produce market and gourmet restaurants.

Newstead seamlessly merges culture, entertainment, and lifestyle with tranquil parklands and tree-lined streets. Chester & Ella residents are just one stop from the Brisbane Riverwalk and a walk from Teneriffe Park.

Connectivity is also key at Chester & Ella. There are a number of bus stops on Ann and Chester Street, while the Fortitude Valley train station is around 1.3 kilometres away, providing easy access to the city's rail network. The Teneriffe Ferry Terminal, 1.1 kilometres away, also offers alternative transportation to and from the area. 

As the largest non-CBD white-collar office market in Australia, the rapid growth rate of Newstead Commercial Precinct has attracted several national and international companies to establish offices and headquarters in this extension of the CBD. 

Professionals, singles and more young families come to Newstead for these work opportunities and proximity to lifestyle amenities. With excellent schools such as New Farm State School, All Hallows' School, Torrens University Australia, and the University of Queensland within 500 metres of Chester & Ella, families have access to quality education right at their doorstep.

Beyond the urban buzz, the area hosts numerous festivals and cultural events, adding yet another charm to Newstead's tapestry. The Gasworks Lorna Jane Festival, Brisbane Comedy Festival, Laneway Music Festival, New Farm Moonlight Cinemas, and James Street Resort Festival are just a few of the vibrant events hosted in the area.
