Huon Property Group lodge plans for Stones Corner apartment tower
Australian-based developer Huon Property Group are gearing up for their next residential development, lodging plans for a site in Brisbane's Stones Corner.
Seeking to take advantage of the 2032 Summer Olympics hub in Woolloongabba, Huon are seeking to build a 15-level tower at 22 Cleveland Street, comprising 114 apartments.
Geared toward the owner-occupier, the building will be a mix of just two and three-bedroom apartments. There will be 78 two-bed units, 20 with multi-purpose rooms, and 41 three-bedroom apartments, 15 of which will also have a multi-purpose room.
There'll also be a collection of 10 double-storey sky homes, with the upper floor sky homes benefitting from their own private space on the rooftop.
Designed by Z Architects, the tower will give the appearance of two separate towers, with a substantial central recess along the north-western elevation, a larger form on the eastern part of the site towards Logan Road, and a more narrow and slender tower form on the western part of the site towards Cleveland Street.
While the rear part of the commercial character buildings along Logan Road is to be partially demolished, the intent is to protect the original shop front, street entrance and awning over the pedestrian environment, maintaining activation along the street frontage.
Significant allocation of landscaping has also been included, with deep planting and containerised planting above the podium level to enhance breathability and reduce the heat load of the building, while also contributing to the subtropical character and microclimate of the site, along with planting across the rooftop terrace.
Each apartment has been designed with modern living in mind and boasts high-quality finishes throughout. Residents can expect open-plan living areas that flow seamlessly onto private balconies offering views over the city skyline and surrounding neighbourhoods.
While the sky homes will have private access to a portion of the rooftop terrace, the other section has been reserved for communal facilities, designed to capitalise on views and vistas to the Brisbane CBD and Hanlon Park, with a swimming pool and subsequent pool deck, barbecue area, co-working space, a cinema, and a formal dining room.
Communal facilities will also be featured in the podium level, with a function room, a gym and a communal lounge with terraces.
A total of 327 car parking spaces provided for residents and visitors within two basement levels, ground level and podium car parking areas, utilising a stacker system where possible to maximise utility of the space
A cross block link has also been proposed, providing direct pedestrian access between Logan Road and Cleveland Street, along the north-western side boundary. The link will help break up the 220 metre long stretch of Cleveland Street between the corner of Logan Road and the proposed Arcade on the northern boundary of Stones Corner Village.
Residents will be within four-kilometres of the CBD, with the site also within proximity to Stones Corner Busway Station, Buranda Train Station and a range of retailers.
Huon are also currently developing a 170 townhouse project in Oxley. Set to be built over three stages, Arabella will comprise three and four-bedroom homes, with stage one currently under construction.
