Every time we cruise across the Story Bridge from Kangaroo Point to The Valley, we marvel at the inner-city skyline and its twinkling majesty. A brand-new luxury apartment development from JGL Properties is looking to capitalise on this splendour, with a collection of private four-bedroom, whole-floor apartments planned for Thornton Street in Kangaroo Point.
