Andrew and Rob Gray of Graya, with Frank Licastro of Frank Developments, are set to create a multi-residential development called ‘Maison’ in New Farm.
LUXURY Brisbane home builders Graya™ and Frank Developments are delving into the world of multi-residential development.
Teaming up with friend and industry peer Frank Licastro, brothers Rob and Andrew Gray are set to create ‘Maison’ — a landmark building in New Farm, comprising just five exclusive sky homes.
The trio say they have naturally transitioned into the multi-residential space as they saw a gap in the market to create considered residences with the same characteristics of a home in addition to the lifestyle apartment living offers.

The property moguls spent two years scouring for perfect the site to bring their vision to life before finding 60 Moray Street.
‘Maison’ will have five, full floor, four-bedroom residences with direct lift access, an abundance of natural light and cross ventilation plus sweeping views of Brisbane’s skyline, river and New Farm.
The development has a private recreational deck for residences 1 to 4, which includes a swimming pool, sunbeds, a barbecue and alfresco and lounge spaces.
The penthouse will have its own private rooftop with a pool, barbecue area and open space for the owner to furnish to suit their needs.
It’s not the first time the three of them have worked together.
Frank Developments also collaborated with Graya to create the luxury home ‘Laurent’ in Paddington, which sold for $4 million last year.
“We have known each other for over a decade, since we started in the construction industry,” Mr Licastro said.
“We had been looking for the right site for well over two years and we found it on a beautifully square corner block in Moray Street, which allowed for three sides of light in our sky homes.”

Graya™ director Rob Gray said Maison’s location and design would make it a landmark building that people would recognise for years to come.
“We were so happy when we found our site,” Mr Gray said.
“The corner lot makes the floor plans extremely efficient and liveable, unlike many of the dark and compromised floor plans you see time and time again.
“We feel many people are missing the market by not truly delivering what their end occupant wants in regards to design and lifestyle. We have long careers ahead of us, but we know this will be a flagship project that we have put everything we have into.”

Lead agent Matt Lancashire of Ray White New Farm said the developers had chosen one of the best river roads in New Farm.
“Moray Street is such a sought after address that people will pay a premium for,” Mr Lancashire said.
Designed by architect Joe Adsett, Maison is set to offer apartment living with the same spatial qualities and character of a home.
The nature-inspired development has landscaped planting wraps, which cascade along the curved façade, providing privacy for each residence.

Development approval for the project was granted by Brisbane City Council last month without appeal within the Planning and Environment Court, which Mr Gray said was a reflection of the extensive community consultation undertaken in the lead-up.
Maison will be launching to the market in the coming weeks.
And we can expect more where that came from, with Mr Gray revealing Graya plans to go down the multi-residential path more often in the future.
Graya has built homes for Broncos captain Darius Boyd and his wife Kayla, former Wallabies captain Stephen Moore and rapper Example and his model wife, Erin McNaught, among other high-profile names.
