Development rundownPlans

Designed by Cavill Architects, the proposal seeks to retain the corner commercial character building while establishing a new building that incorporates contemporary architectural and sub-tropical design elements.

As part of ground floor activation plans, a new open space is planned to be built within an ‘outdoor city room’ as well as two large new retail spaces on the ground level.

According to the development application, the proposed development has been designed to prioritise pedestrian access with activity focused around James Street.

    Love the bricks. The columns look glorious and earthy bricks seem incapable of dating. Beautiful fusion of the contemporary, heritage, and subtropical elements that make up the beautiful city of Brisbane. This one is a winner for me

    Is this ugly brown lump already approved? As long term residents do we have a say?

    The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and so out of context next to workers’ cottages.

    Yep looks pretty ugly. Does it comply with Town Plan? Not mentioned so presumably not. 32 car parks? Their brochure says 91 car parks – includes street parking? Going by the brochure it seems 32 parks might be available to visitors and the rest are for tenants.
    Strongly recommend Council insist on compliance with Town Plan and suggest a new architect might be in order,
