Akin by Tallis Property Group construction update video in South Brisbane

Akin, the newest apartment project from the Brisbane developer Tallis Property Group, has been strategically located to take advantage of all the burgeoning South Bank has to offer.

The Merivale Street tower is just around the corner from Fish Lane, the recently developed&nbsp;laneway-style town square,&nbsp;which is the hub of Brisbane's art, culture and entertainment scene. At Fish Lane there's&nbsp;16 restaurants, 11 bars and six cafés, including Julius Pizzeria, Gauge, Hello Please, Maeve and Maker.

Akin has been built within a cultural precinct, becoming a neighbour to a hub of galleries and performance spaces, including the Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Museum, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Queensland Theatre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185113]

The 30-level tower, designed by DBI,&nbsp;sits near Musgrave Park and Park Avenue at South Bank, as well as Brisbane Streets Beach and Queens Gardens.

Brisbane State High School and West End State School are in the area, with TAFE Queensland just down the road.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185114]

With the area under development across a range of areas, South Brisbane&nbsp;will continue to see growth in the years to come.

Construction is currently under way on a number of projects including the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane, Neville Bonner Bridge and New Performing Arts Venue (NPAV), which will all be well-connected with the developing Brisbane Metro.&nbsp;

Queen’s Wharf Brisbane is a $3.8 billion integrated resort development that will put Brisbane firmly on the map as a global tourism, leisure and entertainment destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=192735]

Spanning more than 270 meters across the Brisbane River, The Neville Bonner Bridge will be an important&nbsp;link between South Bank and the Queen’s Wharf precinct.

New Performing Arts Venue is a $150 million theatre which will amplify the thriving performing arts precinct in South Brisbane.

Akin, which has just released its collection of sky homes, has a number of five-star amenities, such as the resident’s lobby, business hub, rooftop terrace, gym, resort pool, wellness centre and outdoor dining space.

Only three and four-bedroom apartments remain the tower, which is currently under construction by DESCON. Prices start from $1,399,950.

South Brisbane's liveability and lifestyle driving buyers to Akin apartments

With its cascading entrance, soaring lines and integrated greenery, Akin makes a striking addition to the South Brisbane streetscape.

Soaring 30-storeys above one of Brisbane’s most sought-after precincts, the Merivale Street site straddles the urban environment of West End and the artistic, educational and commercial hub of South Bank.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185118]

Designed by DBI Architects, Akin offers a diverse selection of one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments, along with sub penthouses and penthouses boasting world-class design with intuitively integrated smart home functionality.

Five-star amenities like the resident’s lobby, business hub, rooftop terrace, gym, resort pool, wellness centre and outdoor dining all help to create a sense of resort-style living within the residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185117]

Tallis Property Group noted the location of the development as the main influence on the outcome of the building artwork.

“The nexus between old and new, residential and commercial, work and play. In other words, the linking of contrasts," the team suggest.

“The result has evolved out of a process of collaboration with the architect and understanding how the building is to engage with the resident and the pedestrian alike.”

The developers said the scale of the building was integral to achieving their vision and creating an iconic building in Brisbane's South.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185115]

“Key to the work are the street level finishes, which, through tactility, richness of colour and sculptural materiality, activates the artwork, and kerbside on a pedestrian level. This materiality welcomes and encourages viewer investigation and involvement with the work.”

The street facade is an abstract landscape of contrasting shapes and undulations, utilising the light filtering through from day-to-day to add to the grandeur of the build. Concrete facades give the form a raw quality, while the introduction of greenery illustrates a contrast, furthermore, presenting the vision of the developers.

To the right of the main building, moss green tiles of a human scale create a textured wall, while also delineating the main built form. On the eastern side of the residential building the moss green tiles continue, where a third scale is introduced for a third artwork opportunity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185113]

Five configurations of two, three and four-bedroom residences are still available in the development, with the Sky-Home stage of the project released at the start of the year.

Construction is expected to be completed on the project by 2023.

Aspire Gold Coast to offer whole-floor apartments on Surfers Paradise beachfront

Azzura have kicked off construction at their $2.3 billion Imperial Square project on the Gold Coast&#39;s Southport.

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate turned the sod alongside Azzura founder and chief executive Robert Badalotti.

The $155 million first stage, to be built by the local construction company Descon Group Australia,&nbsp;will see the residential arm of Imperial Square,&nbsp;known as&nbsp;Regal Residences, soar 18 levels&nbsp;on the 1.34 hectare site at the corner of Meron Street and Ferry Road.

The 4.5 star hotel with 200 hotel rooms will also be part of the first stage.

Already around half of the 145 apartments in Regal Residences have sold, with Azzura&#39;s&nbsp;sales director Jason Paris pinning the strong sales on the pent-up demand for new product in the city&rsquo;s CBD hub.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29350 project_image_fid=154912]

&ldquo;Regal Residences represents incredible value with apartments selling for an average of $6000 per square metre, which is a third of the selling price of some beachfront locations on the Coast,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;

Regal Residences will also include a range of commercial&nbsp;spaces on completion, rooftop bars, and amenities such as rooftop infinity pool, steam room, sauna, gymnasium, spas, zen garden, BBQ and a residents lounge.

The Imperial Tower, which will rise 108 storeys, will be Australasia&rsquo;s tallest building. It will be flanked by Monarch Place, a 54-level spiral tower. 
 
Mayor Tom Tate said Azzura&rsquo;s landmark project was aligned perfectly with his &ldquo;upwards rather the outwards&rdquo; approach to future development on the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29350 project_image_fid=154906]

&ldquo;The only way is up for the sustainable future of our city,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We must plan for higher density along our key public transport corridors,&quot; Mr Tate said.

&ldquo;By building up, not out, means people can live where they want to, access public transport at their door and still enjoy the lifestyle and primary attractions that bring people to the coast &mdash; our beaches and open space.&quot;
