Heidelberg Materials has put forward plans for three 50-storey residential towers for its riverside site at 14 and 19 Nott Street at South Brisbane.
The concrete and building aggregates company, which acquired Hanson in 2007, has filed plans with the Brisbane City Council for three towers comprising a total of 620 apartments.
FJCStudio has designed the development, which delivers significant public realm on the 12,921sq m site fronting the Brisbane River.
It sits at the southern end of the Kurilpa development precinct, which is subject to a temporary local planning instrument aimed at creating density on the inner-city peninsula.
The project would offer just one basement level with nine storeys above ground for car parking on the flood-prone site.
There will be 841 car parking spaces across the site, and 775 bicycle parking spaces.
According to the Urbis town planning report almost two-thirds of the tower offerings would comprise three and four-bedroom apartments.
The report said the overall building height of 50 storeys across three stages was “reflective of the density prescribed under the TLPI”.
“It also contributes to providing housing supply and diversity through supplying 620 apartments, catering for a range of housing types within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct area,” the report said.
The site is currently a mix of industrial and warehouse uses with at-grade car parking.
But the vision for the future of the site would include high-density mixed use towers with subtropical design, landscaped rooftops and 5400sq m of publicly accessible parkland along the Riverside Drive frontage of the site.
Prolific South Brisbane developer Aria Property Group recently lifted the lid on its latest project for the evolving suburb comprising three towers of 23, 38 and 50 storeys in Brisbane’s cultural heartland and the Brisbane City Council’s designated Kurilpa Growth Precinct.
The plans replace proposals for an office precinct of three 12-storey buildings for 23-29 Manning Street and 164-190 Melbourne Street and a 17-storey office tower that were filed in 2022.
Plans for a five-star hotel were also filed nearby in October of 2024 by Kinstone’s Tommy Hung.
Under the proposal, a second hotel tower rising 15-storeys and comprising 137 rooms would be delivered to “co-exist” with the Novotel Brisbane South Bank, which opened in 2018.
It is earmarked for a 3646sq m site spanning three lots at 70 Merivale Street and 38-40 Cordelia Street, South Brisbane.
South Bank 2.0 has also been mooted for industrial land along the Kurilpa peninsula, as part of Brisbane's 2032 Olympic Games plans, currently under review by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority board.
