History Has a New
Front Door

Follow Cobbler’s Lane past The Federal Boot Factory’s original brickwork and arched openings, where Newstead’s working past steps into a new chapter.

Once home to bootmakers and skilled hands who took pride in every stitch and seam, The Federal Boot Factory is being reimagined as part of a new residential and lifestyle precinct.

Genuinely boutique in nature and crafted by Ellivo, The Federal will introduce 46 oversized three and four bedroom residences and penthouses beside the revitalised heritage factory. This is your opportunity to be part of a landmark address before the full story is released.

Step into a piece of history

There’s a quieter rhythm to life in Newstead North. Here, mornings begin with leafy streets and gentle river breezes, where neighbourhood cafés know your order and stepping outside feels a little more relaxed. Offering the rare balance of tranquillity and connection, just moments from the energy of central Newstead, yet comfortably removed from its bustle. It’s a place where you can enjoy the convenience of one of Brisbane’s most highly regarded suburbs while coming home to a true residential neighbourhood, defined by space, greenery and an enduring sense of community.
