Aria Proposes New Residential Tower For Kangaroo Point

- Advertisement -

Aria Property Group has submitted a new development application for the construction of a new 13 storey residential development located at 470-480 Main Street, Kangaroo Point.

An architectural design competition process was undertaken between Bates Smart, Richards & Spence and Koichi Takada. The winning design proposal which was selected was from Bates Smart.

According to the development application, the Bates Smart design was the most considered from a site context perspective. It was said to encompass ‘striking architecture’ and facade materiality as well as floor plan layouts which featured a very high percentage of naturally lit apartments.

Aria gave the nod to Bates Smart due to the design’s ‘innovative overall concept’ which resembles an urban resort.

“The winning proposal by Bates Smart creates a distinctive and highly innovative architecture that draws cues from the uniqueness of the site’s clifftop location and the endemic natural form of Kangaroo Point.” – Development application

  • x127 apartments total including:
