Mirvac Propose Stage 2 at Brisbane Racing Club

A development application has been submitted by Mirvac for stage 2 (buildings C and D) of the Brisbane Racing Club redevelopment.

The two new towers are located next to stage 1 of the racecourse redevelopment precinct with heights of 14 storeys for building C and 15 storeys for building D.

According to planners Urbis, the buildings comprises a podium and tower typology that represents a modern and sophisticated built form of the iconic ‘Queenslander’ style homes, which evokes a sense of nostalgia.

Each tower is raised above a two (2) storey podium that sits over a common basement comprising of two (2) levels.

The proposal provides extensive communal open space to support recreational activities of residents. The elevated tower form allows for increased visual connectivity from Lancaster Road to Nudgee Road and through to the Eagle Farm Racecourse.

Designed by Mirvac Design, the towers feature curved edges and have facade separation of the higher levels, giving the towers a slight Parisian shape and feel.
