17 Storey Residential Building Proposed for Portside East

Brookfield has submitted a development application for a 17 storey residential tower known as Portside East building 17 located at Macarthur Avenue, Northshore Hamilton.

Designed by Cottee Parker, the proposed development comprises of 151 one-bed to four-bed residential apartments.

The building would also have eight ground-floor retail tenancies, podium landscaping, and a rooftop recreational deck comprising of a pool, bbq and kitchen area as well as a private bookable dining room.

According to the development application, building 17 aims to complement and help shape the larger masterplan vision of the 304-hectare Northshore Hamilton precinct.

The Architectural Vision for Building 17: Conveys a distinct architectural language driven by strong horizontal banding, fluid curving forms and layering of texture and materials. The use of inboard balconies creates natural indentations in the length of the facade, provides articulation and breaks down the bulk and scale of the building.

The layering of vertical feature elements creates an expressive design response that connects the tower to the podium and ground. – Development application
