The development is proposed to be constructed and operated in two stages. It is highlighted that the timing and staging of the development will be dependent on future office tenant commitments.

The proposed development also includes retail tenancies within the ground levels of the each tower. These retail tenancies are “verandah rooms” that are openable to ground floor on all sides creating a permeable ground plane between the building footprint and the public realm.

    Shame. One super tall tower would have better with more green space at ground level. Being in it’s position I would have thought that would have been a better outcome.

    This 2 buildings shouldn’t be approved as it’s blocked the building of Park Regis hotel, 293 north quay Brisabne city.

    This developer should buy off park Regis hotel building (293 North Quay ) , and build 1 big building with these 3 blocks . But it can have part A, B and C, it’s maximise using the space and no construction noises for the hotel and block the sun and view.

    Just bot an intelligent development idea.
