A development application has been lodged with Brisbane City Council for a 23 storey residential tower at 355 Coronation Drive and 6 Lang Parade, Auchenflower, with the project being both proposed and designed by Joe Adsett Architects.
The proposal seeks approval for a material change of use for multiple dwellings, comprising 90 apartments, along with building work assessable within the Flood Overlay. The site occupies a highly visible corner at the bend of the Brisbane River and is positioned between Coronation Drive and Lang Parade, adjacent to the Bicentennial Bikeway and within walking distance of the Milton ferry terminal.
According to the planning assessment prepared by Mewing Planning Consultants, the development would deliver a high density residential outcome supported by an activated ground plane, publicly accessible landscaped areas, and communal rooftop facilities. The application is impact assessable and subject to public notification.
The architectural response, according to Joe Adsett Architects, draws inspiration from the movement of the Brisbane River and the subtropical character of Coronation Drive. The tower is expressed through curved balcony edges, layered facades, and integrated planting intended to soften the building’s scale while maintaining a strong presence along the river corridor.

At ground level, the proposal includes a landscaped lobby, publicly accessible outdoor garden areas, and a corner dedication to improve pedestrian and cycle connectivity. The landscape concept prepared by Andrew Gold Landscape Architecture outlines a layered subtropical planting strategy, incorporating canopy trees, understorey planting, and deep planting zones along both street frontages to reinforce the boulevard character of Coronation Drive.
Residential apartments are oriented to maximise river, city, and Mt Coot tha views, with generous balconies and full height glazing. The building incorporates a rooftop terrace providing communal recreation space for residents, positioned above the main tower form.
From a planning perspective, the site is located within the High Density Residential Zone and the Dunmore residential precinct. While the precinct typically anticipates development up to 15 storeys, the site is specifically identified as a landmark site, allowing for consideration of greater height where supported by architectural quality, context, and public realm outcomes. The planning assessment notes nearby developments ranging up to 37 storeys within the broader Auchenflower, Milton, and Toowong area.
The proposal would deliver 90 apartments, consisting of 36 two bedroom units and 54 three bedroom units. Car parking is provided across four basement levels, with resident and visitor parking accommodated onsite, along with resident and visitor bicycle parking.
Plans
Love the design, and it will be good to see this site redeveloped. It would have been good to include some retail, there is a lot of redevelopment in the area but not much retail that residents can walk to
It’s too large for that land with the zoning for 8 stories and 50% land coverage. Local residents will be completely overshadowed and many won’t have any sunlight in their apartments anymore. Exceeding height should be compensated with lesser land coverage. There is a 100% lack of consideration for residents for the sake of maximising profit which is nothing nice to be looking forward to. This development is ruining the lives of a lot of people.
You are blocking the river views of all other apartments.
River view? How about sunlight and the view of the sky? It is absolutely ruthless what they are trying to do. There is a 100% maximising profit at the expense of the locals. By sticking to zones and regulations there would be no problem. It is possible to build beautiful landmarks without breaking the rules. What are we having zoning regulations for?
Nearby residents, particularly those between the two Linear Towers are clearly overlooked. They will be completely overshadowed and will not have any light in their apartments as even the view of the sky will be gone. This proposed building is on a land with zoning regulations for 8 stories and land coverage 50%. Surely the developer could compensate for the height exceeding almost 3 times the regulations, with a more narrow development to let residents have access to some sunlight. Beautiful buildings can create a ghetto as well if they are just about on the top of the others. What are the zoning regulations for? Please keep Brisbane liveable. It is possible to build amazing landmarks without ruining other people by decimating the value of their properties for the maximum profit of others.
