Highlights
  • x3 50-storey towers
  • 5,400m² of landscaped riverfront parkland
  • 620 apartments across the triplet towers

A development application has been submitted by Heidelberg Materials Australia (formerly known as Hanson) for the transformation of their site at 14 and 19 Nott Street, South Brisbane.

Project RundownPlans

The proposal, designed by fjcstudio, features three iconic 50-storey towers complemented by 5,400m² of public parkland, retail spaces, and community amenities. If realised, this development would become a prominent addition to Brisbane’s skyline, ranking as the second tallest outside the CBD, surpassed only by Aria’s recently proposed Melbourne Street tower application.

The triplet towers adopt a “towers-in-plaza” arrangement, integrating subtropical architectural elements such as deep balconies, vertical greenery, and dynamic shading devices to suit Brisbane’s climate. High-performance glazing and strategic tower separations ensure natural ventilation, privacy, and maximised views toward the Brisbane River and CBD. Each tower features rooftop recreation areas, communal sky gardens, and shaded outdoor areas, with pool areas on podium levels.

The ground-level design emphasises public connectivity with landscaped streetscapes, retail tenancies, and pedestrian-friendly forecourts. According to the architectural statement by fjcstudio, “This project creates a new benchmark for mixed-use developments in South Brisbane, seamlessly integrating residential density with vibrant public spaces.”

The development would deliver 620 apartments across the triplet towers, offering a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom configurations. Communal facilities include ground and podium level pools, outdoor gyms, barbeque areas, and dining spaces. Specialty retail offerings at the podium and ground levels, combined with landscaped public spaces, aim to enhance the livability and connectivity of the area​​.

Situated within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct, this proposal seeks to align with Brisbane City Council’s Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) by delivering high-density residential living alongside significant public benefits.

These include a 5,400m² parkland featuring pedestrian walkways, lush green spaces, and recreational facilities, designed to foster an inviting urban environment. Additionally, the development will incorporate a percentage of affordable housing, further enhancing its contribution to the community.

The triplet towers are part of a broader urban transformation of this Kurilpa area of West End. Alongside other planned developments such as the neighbouring Brisbane 2032 Olympic International Broadcasting Centre, this project will contribute to the area’s evolution into a vibrant, high-density community​.

Want to get notified if purchase opportunities in this project become available?

Are you interested in receiving future sales and marketing information about this project? While we don’t know exactly when sales for this project will commence, your details will be added to a database of interested Brisbane Development buyers. If the developer chooses to access the database, you could be among the first to be contacted by their team when sales begin.

No commitment—just the opportunity to secure your place at the front of the queue for Brisbane’s next great address. 

Heidelberg Materials Australia, the owner of the site, is not a property developer but a prominent supplier of building materials, including aggregates, concrete, and cement. Given this, and the lack of detailed information in this application it is likely the project will be sold to a developer after securing development approval.

While it is improbable that the towers will be constructed exactly as depicted in this application, the overall scale of the project would be expected to remain similar.

    This is appalling! Firstly, the park needs to be master planned to be part of the entire reach, not stand alone linked (wishful thinking) pockets.
    The tower designs are bulky, imposing and rather cookie cutter repeat with little aesthetic interest.
    AND 50 stories fronting the river? what about those behind? This whole reach should have buildings of an appropriate scale with height graduating back from the river. This will be nothing but a wall along the river, which will be repeated through precedent.
    This is not a good outcome for anyone in the City let alone that area.

      I agree that buildings closer to the river’s edge should be lower height than those behind: it’s the “tapering down to the shoreline” concept implemented in other major cities (e.g. Sydney.) Despite Brisbane River being much less of a showcase compared to Sydney Harbour.

      You’d have to take that issue up with Council though: they’re the ones implementing the building height restrictions within the Kurilpa zoning. It’s probably going to mean higher tower buildings will be allowed further away from the shore line.

      The tower design is a concept only; it may not end up being so cookie-cutter in appearance.
      As per the article:
      Heidelberg Materials Australia, the owner of the site, is not a property developer. Given this, and the lack of detailed information in this application it is likely the project will be sold to a developer after securing development approval.
      While it is improbable that the towers will be constructed exactly as depicted in this application, the overall scale of the project would be expected to remain similar.

      I hope in the near future Brisbane CBD can have Skyscrapers over 300 meters I mean keeping it at 274 meters is so 2008 let’s build taller. Sydney is now allowing Skyscrapers up to 320 meters and Melbourne is literally the first city in Australia to have a Skyscraper of 100 stories that being the Australia 108 which topped out in 2020 and the new Skyscraper called 30 Pitt street which has a high of 309 meters. Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia and it is under a major tourist boom plus population is soaring to Greta Heights got to mention the Brisbane Olympic GAMES in 2032 so I guess having some towers going over 300 meters in the CBD would be a new and strong foundation for the skyline . The airport of Brisbane needs to change the way they control the Brisbane height limit it seems that there are issues having the tower cranes ️ changed so it doesn’t impact the airport. I just want Brisbane City to have more taller buildings has it has been trying for decades like 340 meters as the new height limit in the CBD is a lot better then 400 meters like is was planning on from the beginning.

      If you were to buy an apartment for an exorbitant amount of money, wouldn’t you like to have a designated carspace in the building? Just one such space is being provided. Mind you, it’s looking like BEV charging in basements is going to be outlawed due to catastrophic battery fire risk.

    Three 50 storey buildings on the riverfront – what is good about this proposal? Is the plan to make the river front in South Brisbane another CBD? There can be no sympathetic development of riverfront land with the “profit before people” approach which appears to be the case here. The negative comments about the development already expressed are not simply about making or not, people happy. All development of this nature creates a legacy, a legacy that in this case, is more monstrous than creative, more greedy than public benefit, and simply satisfying a developer who comes up with a plan. How can anyone who cares about this city, support this design and height. We can do som much better than this, and we be happy to live with it. The current proposal does not meet the standards that the city should be demanding.

    Why does an apartment building so close to public transport, footpaths, cycleways, the city, supermarkets, etc need 841 parking spaces? If you want to create a liveable city, create it for the people, not for the cars. BCC is really letting developers control the market here.
