Highgate Hill

Postcode: 4101 | Distance to CBD: 3 km

Welcome to Highgate Hill

Highgate Hill, an inner city southern suburb, is instantly recognisable by Brisbane's first high rise building, "Torbreck" at 182 Dornoch Terrace.

Although built way back in 1959, "Torbreck" can still be seen from many vantage points around Brisbane.

Highgate Hill's views and close proximity to the city and West End precinct have made it a very popular suburb.
