A 28 storey residential led mixed use development has been proposed for 17 Hamilton Place and 26–28 Campbell Street in Bowen Hills, replacing a low rise commercial building on a prominent corner site within the Bowen Hills Priority Development Area.
The application, lodged on behalf of Landitude Bowen Hills Pty Ltd, seeks approval for a 28 storey tower comprising 148 apartments above an activated podium containing retail, community space and resident amenities. The 1,803m2 site pre resumption occupies a strategic position near Bowen Hills Station, the RNA Showgrounds and King Street, within Precinct 1 of the Bowen Hills PDA where higher density development is already emerging.
The proposal comprises 148 residential apartments across a mix of one, two and three bedroom layouts, including eight one bedroom dwellings nominated as affordable housing.
The built form is defined by a curved brick podium with a sculpted tower rising above. According to the architect Plus Studio, the design draws from Bowen Hills’ industrial heritage while delivering a contemporary sub tropical architectural language.
The podium is articulated into vertically broken brick volumes incorporating hit and miss brickwork, vertical battens and deep planters. The curved brick façade addresses the intersection and introduces a softer, human scaled interface at ground level.

Ground level activation includes two retail tenancies of 113m2 and 78m2 fronting Hamilton Place and Campbell Street. These are set back from the street edge to enable outdoor dining and pedestrian movement. A publicly accessible, privately owned plaza anchors the corner, providing additional open space within the precinct and strengthening the intersection as a civic focal point.
At Level 2, a 222m2 community use space fronts Hamilton Place and is designed to accommodate flexible uses such as meetings, workshops, exhibitions or shared work functions. Above this, the podium rooftop at Level 3 contains the primary resident recreation deck, including a resort style swimming pool, sauna, steam room, fully equipped gym connected to an outdoor yoga deck, a residential lounge that can function as a library or work from home space, and multiple outdoor barbeque and dining areas. These facilities form a social hub within the building while introducing elevated greenery into an increasingly dense part of Bowen Hills.
Two basement levels provide 62 resident car spaces and 20 visitor car spaces, with basement access from Hamilton Place. Bicycle facilities total 117 resident spaces and 37 visitor spaces, reinforcing proximity to Bowen Hills Station and surrounding active transport routes. Dedicated residential and retail waste rooms are located at ground level, and irrigation tanks are incorporated within basement areas.
Landscape design by Urbis integrates elevated planters and sub tropical species into the podium façade and recreational levels, aiming to soften the built form and contribute to urban cooling. The street frontage treatment along Campbell Street includes a temporary landscape solution within a future road resumption zone, comprising turf and asphalt finishes designed as a short term make good outcome pending future upgrades.
The proposal reaches RL +115.3 metres at Level 28. Surrounding approvals in the immediate context include 19–25 Campbell Street at 34 storeys, 35 Campbell Street at 31 storeys and 37 Mayne Road at 28 storeys, indicating the site sits within an emerging cluster of taller residential and mixed use buildings.
Notably, the development does not include any rooftop amenities at the top of the 28 storey tower itself. All communal facilities are concentrated on the podium rooftop at Level 3, with no sky deck or elevated resident space above the upper residential levels.
Given the building’s height and its potential to capture expansive views toward the city and river, the absence of a rooftop amenity level is somewhat surprising and may be seen as a missed opportunity to further differentiate the project within an increasingly competitive Bowen Hills market.

The conundrum created by a disproportionate number of resident car spaces to apartments, is the target buyer and the assumption that most people are happy to ride bikes, catch an Uber, walk or ride public transport, even in the worst weather conditions. It also raises the question that a reduction in the use of private vehicles may not suit older residents/owners unless for investment purposes only. And those who wish to escape the city on weekends or days off, are reliant on third party and Govco services. This will require cost outlays and offer less freedom of movement. It will potentially create classes of residents, those that have a car space, and attract more immigrant purchases supported by tax payer funded Govt assistance schemes. This doesnt appear to be ‘affordable housing’ just expensive way of living for people who believe they can afford the ‘convenience’ but tolerate a significant reduction in privacy and personal freedoms.
What is this telling us about the planned future of residential living in the Brisbane city area and how does this fit with Agenda 2030, Digital ID and the new communist Australia?
Mate you give them too much credit by assuming some malevolent agenda. It’s just developers cutting costs and the council permitting it
