Huon Property Group secure approval for Stones Corner apartment development
Huon Property Group has received approval for their new residential development project in Brisbane's Stones Corner.
The approved plans involve constructing a 15-level apartment tower at 22 Cleveland Street, which will consist of 114 apartments. This development is part of Huon's strategy to capitalise on the 2032 Summer Olympics hub in nearby Woolloongabba.
The tower, designed by Z Architects, will feature a mix of 78 two-bedroom units, including 20 with multi-purpose rooms, 41 three-bedroom units, with 15 also having a multi-purpose room, and ten double-storey sky homes, with the upper-floor sky homes offering private rooftop spaces.
The architectural design gives the appearance of two distinct towers, separated by a central recess on the north-western side.
The larger tower form will be located on the eastern part of the site towards Logan Road, while a narrower, more slender form will be on the western part towards Cleveland Street.
The design aims to preserve the original shop front, street entrance, and awning of the commercial character buildings along Logan Road, although parts of these structures will be partially demolished.
Landscaping is a significant aspect of the project, with deep planting and containerised planting above the podium level to enhance the building's breathability and reduce heat load.
These efforts are intended to contribute to the site's subtropical character and microclimate, with additional planting across the rooftop terrace.
The apartments are designed for modern living, featuring open-plan living areas and private balconies with views of the city skyline and surrounding neighbourhoods.
The sky homes will have exclusive access to a portion of the rooftop terrace, while the remaining rooftop area will offer communal facilities, including a swimming pool, pool deck, barbecue area, co-working space, cinema, and formal dining room.
Additional communal facilities will be available on the podium level, such as a function room, gym, and communal lounge with terraces.
The development also includes 327 car parking spaces for residents and visitors, distributed across two basement levels, the ground level, and podium car parking areas. A stacker system will be used where possible to maximise space utility.
A proposed cross-block link will provide direct pedestrian access between Logan Road and Cleveland Street, running along the north-western boundary.
This link aims to improve pedestrian connectivity and break up the long stretch of Cleveland Street between Logan Road and the proposed Arcade on the northern boundary of Stones Corner Village.
The development site is located within four kilometres of Brisbane's CBD and is close to public transport options, including Stones Corner Busway Station and Buranda Train Station. The area also offers various retail amenities.
Huon Property Group is concurrently developing another project in Oxley, comprising 170 townhouses under the name Arabella.
