In the last 12 months there has been a dramatic increase in developers making use of building rooftops.

Since August last year there has been 13 proposals with some level of rooftop amenity, proving that there is a growing trend to place amenity such as pools, bbq areas, outdoor seating areas, gardens, gyms and other amenity on top of buildings as opposed to below on the podium.

Just some example proposals in the last 5 months where in some projects, the rooftop has taken centre stage:

  • 25 Bouquet Street, South Brisbane – Kilcor Properties
    • Pool, Sun Lounge, Outdoor Kitchen
  • Brisbane Riverside Restaurants, South Bank –  Katarzyna Hospitality Group
    • Rooftop bar
  • 144 Logan Road, Woolloongabba – Pellicano and Perri Projects
    • Landscaped gardens, gymnasium, residents lounge, pool, spa, bar, kitchen facilities, herb garden, elevated observation platform and children’s play zone
  • 12 Creek Street, Brisbane CBD – Dexus Properties
    • Potential 2 level restaurant & bar
  • Eldorado Redevelopment, Indooroopilly – Planning Initiatives
    • Bar, lounge, terrace
  • 300 George – Shayher Group
    • Pool, gym, theatre, games room, sauna, bar, lounge, cellar
  • 35 Merivale Street, South Brisbane – Backshall Group

    • Pool, outdoor lounge
  • 7 Chester Street, Newstead – Urban Construct

    • Lounge, bbq

Brisbane’s year round warm climate makes rooftop decks very appealing for apartment buyers as seen in recent developments.

City views as well as cool breezes also make rooftop decks a desirable place for pools, as opposed to on the podium level where too much shade sometimes render pools too cold to actually use.

Bangkok, known for it’s palatial array of rooftop decks had experienced a boom in rooftop decks over the past decade, with a recent edition of Vertigo and Moon bar, 61 floors above the Banyan Tree.

Brisbane isn’t there yet but is nevertheless experiencing a big surge in rooftop decks.

No doubt soon we will see proposals like the above in Brisbane’s CBD.

    Architects have been trying this for a long time but developers have been always been stingy with extra cost like that until now

    It is a great trend that I believe the Emporium Hotel started back in 2007 and it looks like the new Emporium will deliver unbelievable views of the city to match the amazing service they provide, can’t wait!!!!
