Mixed Use Development, East Brisbane
Mixed Use Development, East Brisbane
The Woolloongabba/East Brisbane locality is undergoing significant change from its industrial focus to a high density residential environment. Consequently, a number of changes are required in terms of built form, amenities, movement of people, and access to services. Accordingly, the development we put forward was a high density residential project, with ground level cafes, and shops with semi-public open space areas. The development also included parkland as part of Council’s urban design requirements to enhance local public open space, pedestrian access, and personal transport options (in this area). While the project generally met requirements for the area, the development intensity and height required relaxations to Council’s planning scheme.
Development particulars include:
- Three high density residential towers (420 units) developed across two separate stages
- Tower heights of 2 x 15 storeys and 1 x 12 storeys
- Ground level semi-public open space with shops, retail, cafes, & restaurants
- Dedication of and construction of public open space (parkland) to facilitate an improved east/west link for local pedestrians and cyclists
