TIME FOR A GREASE AND OIL CHANGE?

Try the clever solution to problem skin. Detox Aromatique Did you know pollution, excess oil and sweat as well as exhaustion can result in problem skin? And did you know it can take up to six months to reverse the damaging effects of topical treatments used to shrink and dry out blemishes? Laura from Ella Bache Hamilton says your skin can react so badly to the shock of the severe dehydration, it tries to flood the damaged surface with more oil and so the blemishes return again and again.

“Detox Aromatique, Ella Baché’s new purifying system, coaxes blemishes away by absorbing the flow of oil from the inside out without weakening your skin’s surface,” she said.

“Book an aromatique detoxifying facial and you’ll see that inflammations and blemishes will reduce, leaving your skin texture smoothed, detoxified and healthy.”

Experience the aromatique detoxifying facial at Ella Baché Hamilton and Laura will give you a bonus 25ml Extra-Matifying Cream valued at $34.50*.

Laura says make the grease and oil change now and commit to a solution for problem skin that is as individual as you are.

CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES ON NEXT STAGE OF PORTSIDE WHARF THE PROJECT WILL GENERATE MORE THAN 200 CONSTRUCTION JOBS OVER THE NEXT 18 MONTHS Portside Wharf is undergoing its next phase of development with construction officially commencing on the latest residential stage Pinnacle at Portside Wharf.

The Lord Mayor and Portside Wharf Project Director Lee Butterworth turned the first sod on the 16 level luxury apartment building along the riverfront in Hamilton, which will generate more than 200 construction jobs over the next 18 months.

Pinnacle has chalked up more than $54 million in off the plan sales with apartments selling for between $390,000 and $2.4 million. Once complete, Pinnacle will feature 162 one, two and three bedroom apartments, terrace homes and penthouses, and to date is the only absolute riverfront building at Portside Wharf.

The Portside Wharf development, which includes the Brisbane Cruise Ship Terminal and a lively waterfront restaurant and retail hub, is already home to some 300 residents across the first four residential stages - Promenade, Flare, Loft and Infinity.

The development is the first stage of the greater Northshore Hamilton redevelopment which plans to rejuvenate the Brisbane waterfront with new retail precincts, residential options and green space.

Portside Wharf Project Director Lee Butterworth said the recommencement of construction at Portside Wharf was a major milestone, signalling the start of a new era in the property market.

“Pinnacle will be the first residential building constructed at Portside Wharf since works began on Promenade in late 2010, proving we have weathered the global financial crisis and are ready to move forward with the development of this iconic address,” he said.

“Portside Wharf welcomes in excess of 250,000 visitors each year via the Cruise Ship Terminal and is a vibrant social hub for those living in the luxury apartments atop the precinct as well as those who gather from across Brisbane to enjoy the location, boutique shopping, fine dining and relaxed atmosphere.

“Our vision for Portside Wharf is to be the beating heart of the entire Northshore Hamilton development. We have so far achieved that vision and established Portside Wharf as a Brisbane landmark and a vibrant community that has reinvented this once overlooked part of the Brisbane River.”

With completion set for early 2015, Pinnacle at Portside Wharf will house luxurious apartments, delivering an array of residences ranging in size from 58sqm to 241sqm, with more than 70 per cent boasting stunning river and city views.

Residents of Pinnacle will enjoy the privilege of exclusive access to the building’s rooftop terrace with pool, barbeque, entertainment area and gymnasium, as well as the peace of mind of full security with onsite guards and onsite management.

“Pinnacle will be of rare status and style - with luxurious apartments and penthouses,” said Mr Butterworth.

“Its location between key economic areas, six kilometres from the CBD and 15 minutes to Brisbane’s domestic and international airports, makes it prime real estate for high flyers and executives, while the relaxing lifestyle afforded by a riverfront address makes it ideal for retirees or empty nesters, and the vibrant precinct makes it popular for young couples.

“Essentially, Portside Wharf offers a unique lifestyle opportunity that buyers of all ages are taking advantage of.”

“With Pinnacle’s strong off the plan sales, it is clear that confidence is returning to the market, with total sales at Portside Wharf now reaching more than $83 million.

Portside Wharf is home to retailers such as Dendy Cinema, IGA supermarket, Jetts Fitness, Ella Bache, Urbbana Men’s Style Studio and Bou’s for Men barber as well as restaurants and eateries including Sono, Byblos, Gusto da Gianni, The Burrito Bar and Bamboo Basket.

“Pinnacle will be of rare status and style - with luxurious apartments and penthouses”

Apartments in Pinnacle are available from $435,000 with a partial sales display now open in the sales centre.

For further information, visit the Portside Wharf Sales & Information Centre in the Portside Wharf Plaza, at 39 Hercules Street, open between 10am and 4pm daily, call 07 3630 1666 or visit www.pinnacleportside.com.au.
