Three Residential Towers Proposed on Lambert and O’Connell Streets in Kangaroo Point

An application seeking approval to develop three 10-storey high residential towers over three stages on Lambert and O’Connell Streets in  Kangaroo Point has been lodged.

To facilitate the development, the application also proposes the relocation of the three existing pre-1911 houses on Lambert Street and the demolition of the existing dwellings on O’Connell Street and Lambert Street.

Designed by Kris Kowalski Architects, the proposal involves the development of 200 high-density residential units within three towers, each with a maximum building height of 10 storeys. To accommodate the three towers, the application also includes reconfiguration of a lot component to create three lots and access easements.
