A development application has been submitted by Silverstone for a mixed-use residential development at 260 MacArthur Avenue, Hamilton.
The proposal, located on Lot 6, sits within the Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area (PDA) and includes a two-tower apartment complex with ground-level retail and publicly accessible open spaces.
The project, designed by Carr Architecture, consists of two residential towers rising above a landscaped podium. The taller of the two towers would reach 12 storeys, while the second would be 9 storeys, both featuring extensive greenery, communal areas, and biophilic design elements. The architectural design integrates textured masonry at the podium level to create a human-scale street interface, while horizontal façade articulation and recessed balconies define the upper levels.
The development would deliver 176 residential apartments with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations. Approximately 13% of the dwellings would be three-bedroom units, meeting the diversity and affordability objectives outlined by Economic Development Queensland (EDQ).
A series of private and communal open spaces, including a rooftop terrace, pool, gym, and landscaped courtyards, would enhance the resident experience.
At ground level, the proposal includes 784m² of retail space spread across five tenancies. The project’s design also features a cross-block link aligned with an adjacent site to improve pedestrian permeability between Karakul Street and MacArthur Avenue. This privately owned yet publicly accessible space would incorporate deep planting, shaded seating areas, and active frontages to encourage activation and community use.
