Heidelberg Materials proposes a major urban renewal project in South Brisbane, featuring three 50-storey residential towers and a new riverside park.
The owner of an inner-city industrial site long coveted by developers has asked Brisbane City Council to endorse its vision for urban renewal . Heidelberg Materials, formerly known as Hanson Australia, has lodged a development application for three 50-storey towers and a riverside park on a 12,921 square-metre site at South Brisbane.
Seizing on council’s push for taller, higher-density developments on the Kurilpa peninsula, the company has proposed 620 apartments be built in the Nott Street complex. Heidelberg Materials commissioned FJCStudio to design a new park and residential precinct for its riverside industrial site in Brisbane. Most apartments would have three or four bedrooms, and the development would be delivered in stages yet to be specified. However, the flood risk and land contamination has led designers to propose only one level of basement parking, with a maximum of 841 resident and visitor car spaces incorporated into the towers and above-ground areas.More than an acre of the site, along the riverfront, would be transformed into a park with gardens, footpaths and other amenities. “The proposed park significantly enhances the river edge, with multiple uses and areas including deep planting, terraced seating, and multiple lawn and planted areas,” documents state. “In addition to the proposed park, the development also provides generous shared spaces at the ground level between the three towers that accommodates a range of active uses such as retail and food and beverage.“Pedestrian connections are proposed from the existing Hockings Street and Nott Street, through the site, to the park and beyond to the riverside drive walkway and the Brisbane River.”If approved, the residential complex would be heavily reliant on public and active transport. The plans set aside roughly one residential car space for every two bedrooms, along with on-site parking for up to 775 bicycles and e-bike
