Designed by Woods Bagot, the application details future stages 2 through to 5 of what is a completely mixed-use project consisting of four new towers of varying heights and would complete the Buranda TOD.

Stage 2 of the development is referred to in the development application as ‘The Terraces’, which would be a new residential tower of 287 apartments and resident’s recreation deck on the podium level. This tower is proposed to be 28 levels high.

According to the development application, the project represents a significant investment in Stones Corner and the Woolloongabba area that aims to bolster the livability of the area, provide employment opportunity, housing choice and somewhere to age in place.

“The proposed development represents a quantum shift in the traditional TOD offer, with public benefit being a cornerstone of the development ethos.” – Urbis

The site which is wedged between two major transit hubs, the Buranda Train and Busway Stations, is built on top of the Eastern Busway itself and aims to encourage the incorporation of Stage 2 into the existing Stage 1.

Architects Woods Bagot plan to do this by creating new cross-block linkages, contributing to direct pedestrian connectivity between the two precincts.

    Generally looks like a good development for this location. Though I want to check the plans again for walking access and permeability, especially to the train station.
    Though given it’s location next to a train station, 100m from a bus station, and a quality bikeway leading to the city, why so few bicycle parking spaces and why so many car parking spaces?

    Sadly Brisbane is faced with more of these Ikea Flat Pack style future Slums……My only interest is the effect on Heritage within the area….EG; The Broadway Hotel 7 the full restoration of one o f Brisbanes FEW remaining iconic historical buildings.

    That Roundabout intersection is going to need a major overhaul. It is a complex 5-way intersection with several blind spots, limited space and high throughput. It is so over-capacity for the intersection type already that there are going to be some major accidents here if we shuffle any more people into the area. Right turns from Junction St onto the roundabout, and right turns from Logan Rd onto Cleveland St absolutely need to be addressed.

    Such a great idea, to develop that vacant piece of land to give the area a boost

    Don’t think Wee Hur is a reliable developer. Judging by its previous performance, it will tell us one story and then do nothing for a decade, to come up with some other, even more monstrous monstrosity…
