Joseph has also worked extensively throughout Asia and now brings his wealth of experience to Belvedere where he intends to develop new menus using the freshest ingredients from home as well as abroad, complemented with fusion touches. Welcome to Portside Wharf Joseph!

Melbour Fashion &

OUR RESIDENT MEN’S’ STYLE GURU, SAM ABI OF URBBANA MENSWEAR, HAS GIVEN US SOME TIPS AND ADVICE ON PUTTING TOGETHER THE PERFECT OUTFIT FOR THE RACES…

1. When making a decision on what to wear to the Melbourne Cup or any spring racing event, always stick to spring colours. Be sure to keep your business suit in the wardrobe for weekdays and dress for the occasion.

2. Make sure your shirt is made of natural fabric like pure cotton which allows skin to breathe.

3. A good pair of shoes is a must to complete the outfit. Make sure they complement your suit or accessories and make sure they are comfortable.

4. Hats are definitely back this season. Choose a hat to complement your suit but remember it doesn’t have to be the same colour. White, beige or blue are most suitable for spring racing.

5. Accessorise! Pocket squares and boutonnieres are another type of accessory that could be used to complete your race day look. They don’t have to be the same colour as your shirt or suit - mix it up a bit for some added flare.

6. Most importantly...have lots and lots of fun!

Got some wild facial hair you’re not willing to part with but still want to look slick for Melbourne Cup? No dramas!

Bou’s for Men now stocks Milkman Bear Oil so you can tame that Ned Kelly beard and look groomed and sophisticated for the big day (also good for weddings!).

Stop in and see Simon who will tidy up those edges with a cut-throat razor then smooth it all down with some of this magic beard-taming potion. Your girlfriend will be thrilled!

THE LADIES AT HUNT & GATHER HAVE PUT TOGETHER THEIR HOT TIPS FOR THE RACING SEASON

7. Don’t forget to wear your most valuable asset...your smile!

STYLISH AND SUN-KISSED Want to look sun-kissed for the Melbourne Cup without damaging your skin with the sun’s harmful rays? Ella Baché has a tanning lotion with a unique tinted formula that gives an instant tan once applied. The tint also helps to guide in application for a more even tan all over. The next-to-no-odour formulation reduces the unwanted odour of fake tan without affecting its colour.

RIVER TERRACES

THE EXCLUSIVE RIVER TERRACES AT PORTSIDE WHARF ARE NOW 50 PER CENT SOLD AFTER SAVVY BUYERS SNAPPED UP MORE THAN $6.5 MILLION WORTH SINCE PINNACLE’S RELEASE. The 14 terraces occupy the first two levels of Portside Wharf’s latest luxury residential building, Pinnacle, which is currently under construction and due for completion early next year.

Boasting huge outdoor terraces of up to 76sqm, some with direct private access to the wharf and river walk, the two-storey residences feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms plus powder room and two car spaces with prices starting from $795,000.

Monica Bradley, a Brisbane-based company director who recently purchased a River Terrace at Portside Wharf, said she was drawn to the precinct because she could “walk to wine and walk to coffee”.

“I spent eight months looking at all the riverfront developments from Bulimba to Northshore and settled on Portside Wharf because it ticked all the boxes,” she said.

“The River Terraces have enough living space indoors, but what really appealed to me was the incredible pop-up living space the terrace gave me.

“I come from a large family so I wanted a home I could expand out of for entertaining. The terrace gives me that space - it’s a unique place where we can eat and celebrate around a table that can sit 30 people overlooking the city I love.”

Ms Bradley will relocate from her Queenslander, also in Hamilton, which she has owned for 15 years, and is happy to swap some living space for views.

“I decided if I was to downsize on floor space, I wanted a really fabulous outlook and my River Terrace gives me river and city views that can never be built out,” she said.

“My corporate career has taken me to New York and Dubai, so when I relocated back to Brisbane I wanted an outlook that rivaled the NYC skyline or the world’s tallest building views and I found that at Pinnacle.

“I’m looking forward to not having to mow a lawn or tend to large gardens, although it was important for me to have room for a vertical vegetable garden which the River Terrace gives me. It’s a great feeling to be able to eat things straight from your own garden.”

Ms Bradley said she was excited to be moving into somewhere that was sparkling new and didn’t need touch-ups.

LIVING SNAPPED UP at PORTSIDE WHARF “I have a five metre void at the entrance of my terrace, which is one of the things that really drew me to that particular one.

I can work with that space and make it my own with feature pendant lighting and art. “

Brookfield Residential Properties Regional Director Lee Butterworth said Pinnacle buyers were predominately owner occupiers from surrounding suburbs who were drawn to the lifestyle at Portside Wharf.

Ms Bradley said finding the right home in the right development was an exhaustive process.

“River Terraces, two and three bedroom apartments

“I’m a strategist and analyst by profession so I do that in other parts of my life as well, which often drives my friends and family insane,” she said.

take advantage of the thriving Portside Wharf precinct

“I approached finding a new house in the same systematic way I’d deliver a merger, acquisition or transformation project.

“It’s like dating - make a list of all the things you’re looking for, then determine what’s the most important and work out what gives you the best mix.

“I love the little village of Hamilton and Ascot so I really wanted to stay in the area and Portside Wharf provided me with that opportunity.”

have been snapped up by owner occupiers looking to and avoid the maintenance headaches of owning a large home,” he said.

“Our exclusive River Terraces have each been individually designed to create a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living, and with direct access to the wharf and vibrant Portside Wharf precinct, they really are an entertainer’s dream.

“Portside Wharf’s location along the river in Hamilton is prime real estate and gives residents easy access to the CBD, airports and Gateway Motorway, and public transport including the City Cat.” Pinnacle’s remaining River Terraces range in size from 92sqm to 171sqm with outdoor living spaces ranging from 11sqm to 64sqm.

Pinnacle is the fifth residential building at Portside Wharf, with Promenade, Flare, Loft and Infinity now complete, and Link also under construction.

Sales in Pinnacle have reached over $70 million with more than half of the 162 apartments now sold.
