The next chapter of East Village is officially underway and the response has been decisive.
Vila, the latest residential release within the long-awaited East Village precinct, has achieved more than 70% sales in 90 days, marking one of Brisbane’s strongest apartment launches of the year. The result reflects a growing appetite for well-considered, design-led homes backed by experienced delivery teams, particularly in locations primed for long-term growth.
Developed by Anthony John Group, Vila represents the beginning of a multi-stage vision for one of Cannon Hill’s most significant sites. Over time, East Village will evolve into a connected urban precinct combining residential living, retail, commercial spaces and lifestyle amenity — carefully planned to grow with the city around it.
Comprising 137 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, Vila has attracted strong interest from both owner-occupiers and investors. Buyers are drawn to the balance of proximity and liveability — close to the CBD and major transport links, yet grounded in a neighbourhood designed for everyday ease. Remaining residences are priced from $1,099,000, positioning Vila as a premium yet accessible entry point into the East Village vision.
Confidence in the project has been reinforced by Anthony John Group’s established track record. With more than four decades delivering mixed-use and residential projects across Queensland — including the award-winning Emporium precincts — the group is known for creating places that endure beyond initial delivery.
Anthony John Group CEO Daniel John says the early momentum reflects both the strength of the product and the broader trajectory of Brisbane as a city.
“As Brisbane continues to grow and prepares for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, demand for high-quality, well-connected communities is increasing,” he says. “Vila represents the next step in delivering the East Village vision, and the market response has been extremely encouraging.”
Designed in collaboration with Bureau Proberts, Vila places a strong emphasis on architecture, functionality and liveability. Floorplans and shared spaces have been thoughtfully designed to support a range of lifestyles, while the building’s position within the broader masterplan ensures residents will benefit from future amenity as East Village continues to take shape.
Sales are being led by YPM Group, with managing director Bryce O’Connor noting a clear shift in buyer priorities.
“Purchasers are seeking certainty, thoughtful planning and long-term value,” he says. “Vila offers proximity to the city, strong transport connections and a genuine lifestyle precinct forming around it — combined with a developer people trust to deliver.”
As the latest residential expression of East Village, Vila sets the benchmark for what’s to come. With limited residences remaining and strong interest continuing, it marks an important milestone in the transformation of this landmark site in Brisbane’s east.
