Construction Update - August 2025

20 August 2025

Construction at Parkside Yeronga is continuing to progress well with the first of JGL’s Town Homes recently completing and the first new residents moving in. The balance of the JGL Town Homes will complete later this year. Find out more here.


RetireAustralia will soon begin marketing and selling premium independent living apartments in its Arcadia Retirement Living community from a temporary sales suite located at the corner of Park Road and Villa Street. Construction is progressing well, and building on this momentum, RetireAustralia has contracted with EDQ to purchase the final remaining development lot at Parkside Yeronga.

This site was originally planned and approved for a large commercial/health facility for Children's Health Queensland. However, Children's Health Queensland has decided to redevelop its existing facility at the corner of Park Road and Dublin Street, and the original project will no longer proceed. RetireAustralia plan to expand its Arcadia Retirement Living community to deliver an additional 58 apartments, this is in addition to the 159 premium independent living apartments, 10-suite care hub and resident amenities currently being constructed.

RetireAustralia will also continue its delivery of the Parkside Yeronga Green Spine parkland. Once completed, this publicly accessible garden will connect future residents with the Yeronga Community Centre and Villa Street. The development application for this project has now been lodged with EDQ Planning. Find out more here.


This week another important milestone has been reached with Brisbane Housing Company completing their basement structure of the 75 affordable and social housing units. Once complete, these units will assist in boosting housing stock for people eligible for social housing and local essential workers. Find out more here.
