Originally a farming area and later an industrial hub with boat moorings and commercial wool stores, Teneriffe has undergone an urban resurgence and where apartments have sprung up, restaurants, cafés and boutiques have followed. New Farm encourages an outdoor lifestyle, with tree lined streets and unique spaces such as Brisbane Powerhouse and the heart of the suburb, New Farm Park. Nearby, fashion mecca James Street offers high end fashion boutiques, trendy watering holes, cheeky cafes and a movie theatre that screens fabulous foreign films.
