The proposal, designed by architecture firm Jackson Teece, calls for 52 apartments across a 1,012sqm site. The building would deliver 48 two-bedroom apartments alongside four top-floor sky homes, with three basement levels providing 66 car parking spaces (58 for residents and eight for visitors) as well as bike storage.

The applicant is Brisbane-based developer Keylin. Managing Director Louis Cheung said the project is aimed at addressing a gap in mid-market apartment supply, noting that well-designed apartments at that price point have been largely absent from the suburb.

Mr Cheung said the suburb’s population growth profile supported the case for the development, with the two-bedroom-heavy mix intended to serve owner-occupiers and downsizers.

According to the planning documents lodged with the application, “The focus for the development is the delivery of a residential product that contributes to the supply and diversity of high-density living units in an inner-city, well-located area, in close proximity to employment nodes, public and active transport, mixed use centres and public open spaces.”

Design and Amenity

The design is described as drawing from the area’s natural surroundings. The building’s facade features elevated and staggered platforms forming recessed balconies, with vertical and cascading landscaped planting. The articulated slab edges and precast detailing are intended to echo the character of the nearby Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

Rooftop amenities are planned to include a pool, gym, spa, yoga lawn, and communal lounge and dining areas, with views across the city skyline, Story Bridge, and river.

If approved, Keylin will partner with builder CoStruct on the project. The two companies are currently working together on Oria Spring Hill, a 143-apartment development in Spring Hill, and Lakeside Apartments in Helensvale, comprising 85 residences across two buildings. 

The application (A007007696) is currently before Brisbane City authorities for assessment.

A developer has submitted plans to build a contemporary, five-storey commercial building for 180 Main Street. The site is located near two heritage sites in Kangaroo Point — Carroll House and the Story Bridge.

Plans (A005764320) lodged by Crete Investments Qld Pty Ltd ATF Raptis Property Trust No.2 indicates that the ground floor will be used to accommodate bar and centre activities whilst the remaining levels would be dedicated to commercial spaces.

The subject site is around 1.2 km away from the Story Bridge and a stone’s throw to a row of 1870s shops known collectively as “Carroll House.”

Highlights

  • The subject site is near two heritage-listed sites: the Carroll House and the famous Story Bridge
  • The five-storey building will house a cafe/bar and commercial spaces
  • Proposed development is for a 662sq m site at 180 Main Street at Kangaroo Point

Carroll House has continued to operate on this corner block for more than 130 years. Between 1878 and 1930, it operated as a general store, a butcher’s shop, and a grocer’s shop, most likely with the owners or lessees living in the residences above. In the 1930s, the shop underwent some alterations which still characterise much of the present facade.

According to the pre-lodgement minutes held in December 2020, the initial plans were not sympathetic enough to the heritage-listed Carroll House.

However, a report prepared by VAULT Heritage Consulting states that the development will not generate any adverse impacts on the cultural heritage significance attributed to either this locally significant, Colonial era commercial / residential complex of buildings or the iconic piece of transport infrastructure extant on the sites adjoining the subject site.

Designed by Jackson Teece, the building would have two basement levels, a ground floor cafe or bar and retail tenancy, and four floors of commercial space. The elevation would be similar to that of Story Bridge and another adjacent property.

“It is suggested that this redevelopment proposal for the subject site should be favourably reviewed by Council in relation to the relevant provisions of the Heritage overlay code within City Plan 2014 and/or State code 14: Queensland heritage,” the report says.

Currently, vehicular access to the subject site is provided through the existing access points, with one being located on Wharf Street and one on Main Street. The proposed  development seeks to remove the existing crossovers and establish one new crossover on Wharf Street. The basement levels would also accommodate 23 car parking spaces, five motorbike spaces, and five bike spaces that would be accessible by the new crossover.
