A development application has been submitted by Pikos Group for the reconfiguration of an existing approved three-tower development application located at 108 Lambert Street, Kangaroo Point.
The proposal is largely consistent with the existing proposal however, building heights and dwelling have increased from the previous approved proposal.
Designed by Kris Kowalski Architects, the proposed changes include x100 new apartment dwellings achieved through increases of heights from 10 storeys to 15 storeys in each highrise building.
The development would be delivered via a three staged program.

These towers are too close together. Not allowing light between them. Buyers will not be interested in being squashed in without any open spaces between buildings. Street parking will be an issue. It is now. Most people have 2/3 cars per lot.
Really a 50% increase in density and an expectation that this is good for the community. I’m assuming these are for overseas student units. seems a grab for money without any benefits to the local community.
Absolutely ridiculous! Talk about squashing buildings in to a small space for maximum $return. There is no parking now on the streets as council would know already and no room for Large trucks to manoeuvre. Residents are sick to death of the construction in this area. Dirt dust and noise 6 days a week ! The green building still has NO ONE living in it after 8 months of completion.
This is a great development, honestly they should go even taller. With the pedestrian bridge to the CBD from Kangaroo Point underway, it’ll be an attractive suburb to live in. Hopefully there will be some developments that include affordable housing, such as build-to-rent places with weekly rent under $300-400. Because to be honest, we have more than enough rich people housing in this city. Way too much, even.
On the dark side. Wouldn’t want to be jammed in the center part. I agree with Pamela. Far to close.
Very sad that that the developer has ignored the request to have the Riverwalk extension included as part of their proposal. What this effectively does is prevent the Riverwalk being extended from Kangaroo Point through to Mowbray Park along the Brisbane River. Big loss for the greater community.
I agree with Chris. River walks and bicycle paths are an integral part of most new develops – look at KSD, gateway bridge duplication, new development under Indooropillli bridge etc. Seems ludicrous not to insist that this development doesn’t extend the walkway required to be built in front of Castlebar and the other unit blocks down near Mowbray Park. That pathway would be a great asset for the community. It will need to be buit eventually – seems sensible to have the developer pay for it as part of its social obligation to the community rather than the rate payer in years to come who will have to foot the bill for a more expensive river based walkway.
It also seems inconsistent with other developments to have such a high building so close to the river as tower 1 appears to be. It should be kept at its original height and moved back in line with the other units in that stretch of the river down to Mowbray Park.
I would leave a reply if I thought it would make one iota of difference. I fought against the “green block” Lambert Street which sits empty to this day after all the uproar made by owners in the area it went ahead. You can’t fight ” City Hall ” I guess it must be the number of rates notices each of these “grotescue” buildings produce. Regardless of people harnessing their best effort these unsightly edifices will go ahead too. That the Developers and their architects have had the “cheek” to push their boundaries even higher is testament to how they are received in “City Hall” Save your ire until you can go to the ballot box as it is all that is left to us who are never consulted??
Sick of high rise development on lambert st. My front door is 20 meters from the existing current homes that will be demolished for this and it will be the 6th high rise within 200 meters of our home in the last 4 years. Just stop. Give the residents a chance to sleep, park and live peacefully. God knows we pay enough to live here!
This is a development that maximises density with no consideration for the adverse impacts on traffic and local community. It is inconceivable that the development does not impose a contribution to the extension of the walkway from Mowbray Park to Dockside. Already the hill creates a major issue for many residents in KP and encourages car usage, not what the community wants. How can a development of this type be increased in density with poor architectural components; 400+ car spaces make any sense on an already congested narrow road? This makes a mockery of the KP development plan of which so much work for community feedback was gathered. Russell Skinner.
This is a great development which will bring much needed more gentrification to the area whilst also establishing the inner city fringe as a bustling area. Like that it includes rooftop amenity to maximise the views.
There are already more than enough future high-rise slums in this area with out adding another 300.
Extending the Riverwalk and cycling infrastructure should be prioritised by the council rather than an application for cash-grab over-sized apartment buildings. I definitely think a development of only two towers spaced out and set further back from Lambert street with a more reasonable height would win public favour.
With the foot bridge being built between between KP and the city a more reasonable venture could still prove advantageous and adding some public green space at the front or rear of the property should be necessary for approval.
If the developers actually ingratiate the property into the neighbourhood and make that its selling point rather than another contentious cash-grab despised by the locals.
LAMBERT STREET THE DECIBEL HELL OF KANGAROO POINT
For four years this street has been subjected to the erection of multiple highrise, including one, Lotus Tower, 200 apartments completely empty not a single apartment sold, and other completed complexes half empty.
Developers are not even selling what they have currently built.
If this goes ahead I would recommend buying on the ground floor you might look at a retaining wall but you won’t be part of the permanent BIG BROTHER show that will be inflicted on the rest of the street
BET YOU DO NOT POST THIS…..THIS SITE DOES NOT ALLOW FREE INTELLIGENT COMMENT, WELL KANGAROO POINT RESIDENTS HAVE HAD EBOUGH
Given that the Senior Urban Planner has only now requested the developer to test for acid sulfate
soils it is timely to refer to the Queensland Acid Sulfate Soil Technical Manual : Soil Management
Guidelines page 18
Determining whether or not ASS is present at a site and managing ASS appropriately if it needs to
be disturbed can involve major costs. These costs may compromise a project’s design or
economic viability. As such, a thorough ASS investigation (in compliance with the latest sampling
guidelines and soil analyses according to the latest Laboratory Methods Guidelines, Ahern et al.,
2004, or AS4969, Standards Australia, 2008) is an essential component of a broader risk
assessment before making any land use decisions. The ASS investigation is needed to provide
information on the environmental setting, location of and depth to ASS, existing and potential
acidity present in the soil, and other soil characteristics. The sampling guidelines contain further
information on ASS investigations. Successful ASS management depends on the results of the
investigation – and results from the investigation help to determine the most appropriate
management strategy for a site. Project design and construction methodology can also determine
project viability. Multiple development scenarios should be considered, and methodologies should
not be left to contractors to determine alone.
KANGAROO POINT IS GOOD FOR A MEDICAL NURSE THAT FINISHES WORK AT 5AM GET HOME 6AM HAVE DINNER GO TO SLEEP 6.30AM JACKHAMMER STARTS 7AM OF CONTINUAL NOISE UNTIL 3PM I CAN NOT SLEEP GO TO WORK LIKE CRAP SORRY MY GIRLFRENIEND DOES THIS CRAP IN KANGAROO POINT THANKS BRISBANE CITY COYNCIL
How can the council have in this “code accessible” planning act in place to allow this monstrosity!! Absolutely no consideration for the well being of the current residents,the community of KP and the unsuspecting renter or owner of this inappropriate build. NO privacy, NO sunshine, NO breezes, NO green space, NO amenities, NO infrastructure, NO safety to cyclists and pedestrians, NO haven from noise and pollution from a proposed 6 year construction period, NO protecting our pre 1911 cottages, NO residential character, NO river walk provision, SAY NO to this development.
The only good thing about this development is that it rids the community of the nasty old dude at 110 lambert street. He has been harassing the tenants at castlebar units to the point of throwing a rock through the bedroom windows. This guy is unhinged and a danger to the KP community. He needs cultural rectification.
WHAT A JOKE I LIVE ACCROSS THE ROAD GEE NO PRIVACY NEW BUILDING BALCONY SO CLOSE I CAN THROW A BALL AND PLAY CATCHEE GEE NO MORE WIND FROM RIVER GEE ITS ALSO A HEAT BOX NOW GEE ITS ALSO CONFIRMED NOW ITS A CEMENT CITY THE CURRENT LORD MAYOR HAS DONE WRONG TO LOCAL RESIDENTS THE CURRENT LORD MAYOR SHOULD MEET THE LOCAL RESIDENTS OF LAMBERT AND CASTLEBAR ST KANGAROO POINT IF HE HAS THE GUTS TO DO IT PS I WANT ALL PEOPLE WHO READ THIS TO COME DOWM TO CORNER OF CASTLBAR ST AND LAMBERT ST KANGAROO POINT TO HAVE A LOOK ALSO 108 LAMBERT ST WHO WILL BE NEXT OF THIS GARBAGE DEVELOPMENT PS THE NEXT BRISBANE CITY COUNCIL ELECTION WILL PROVE HOW GARBAGE THIS ONES IS.
Brisbane’s most hated highrise project canned
A three-tower Brisbane high rise that sparked street blockades has been rejected by Council.
Does “Go tall, not sprawl” on the masthead of this website mean to stand your tins of sardines vertically? Totally detrimental to the wellbeing of people who already live in inner city areas and to the amenity of the city. BCC regulations are way too lax and favour developers over residents.
The whole Kangaroo Point Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan needs to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch. THE COUNCIL NEED TO LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTS NOT THE DEVELOPERS TO MAKE THIS PLAN.
This block of land 108 Lambert Street does not have the capacity to cater for this development. No block of dirt in this precinct has the capacity for 15 storeys. STOP BEFORE THE WHOLE PENINSULA SINKS UNDER THE WEIGHT OF CONCRETE!!
This is an obscenity. It flouts the neighbourhood plan on so many levels. It’s effect on traffic flows will turn Lambert St into a bottleneck. What happens when the moving trucks arrive? With so many units there will be continuous turnover of tenancies and continuous truck movements. The setback from the river is not adequate nor in keeping with neighbouring properties. The “Schrinner Council” is intent on stripping Brisbane of its unique laid back charm and any claim to be a livable city.
