The eight-storey tower is crowned by an activated rooftop level, that allows residents to enjoy Brisbane’s subtropical climate and benefit from amenities including a sundeck/lounge, daybed area, and a pool.

“The proposed design has taken a sensitive approach in respecting the industrial heritage significance of the existing site. The distinct angular roof form and brick palette of the existing industrial building have been reflected in the proposal by incorporating brick feature walls and overclad elements along the street frontage within the planting areas.”

The area is well serviced by public transport, parkland, and retail.
