This building appears to be very ambitious in design. The developer is throwing several different styles together that are very different for this area. It would be more suitable in the Gold Coast or Cairns.
Are these the same architects who did the Callie hotel on James St? It has a similar level of ugliness.
Philistine..
Nice design, the Longland St frontage is very good and will activate the street nicely
The large building in this street are creating a wind tunnel effect which makes walking and sitting out to dine unpleasant much of the time.
Height limits need to be on a more human scale. Up to eight floors.
The building has a middle eastern look to it which like many new buildings is not compatible with the Brisbane character.
How sustainable is this large building?
This is a terrible idea. Newstead is in danger of becoming a slum because there are far too many apartments available. This is too large and spectacularly ugly. It does not fit with the buildings around it, but exacerbates the worst of urban living. Longland St is already too crowded with people, pets and power vehicles. It used to be my impression that there was a limit of 14 floors for buildings in this area. Why is it that developers like to get cheeky and push that envelope. 14 floors might have been ok. But not 22.
