Vicinity Property Investment Trust, the owner of Buranda Village has lodged a development application for the construction of a new urban community at their Buranda Village Shopping Centre site.

Lifestyle precinctWorking PrecinctThe DepotProject rundownPlans

Under the proposed plans, Buranda Village shopping centre, which has remained largely unmodified since it first opened in 1978 would be completely demolished with a new ‘world-class’ mixed-use living, working and shopping precinct built in its place.

The three-stage masterplan will first involve the construction of four 15-storey build-to-rent residential buildings within a stage 1 lifestyle precinct, then two 15-storey commercial buildings and one 10-storey building within a working precinct.

Designed by Rothelowman and Hassell, the seven sub-tropical designed buildings would each have their own character and identity within the proposed development and according to the application, reflect all 31 principles of the New World City Design Guide: Buildings That Breathe.

“Buranda village will be a new benchmark in mixed-use development that places healthy living at its heart, exemplifying the environment and experiences that make Brisbane one the world’s most liveable cities.”

“The proposed development will result in a high-quality public realm and pedestrian experience along all
frontages of the site.”

– Rothelowman

Another two 15-storey commercial buildings are planned, C2 tower will accommodate a maximum of 27,000m² and C3 tower will accommodate a maximum of 18,000m². These two buildings will accommodate centre activities, hotels, bars and showroom tenancy with a total gross area of less than 1,500m².

“The palette of materials for the C1 tower will be simple and elegant, with a light green tinged glass panel with a white fitted band. The glazing suite will also be a matt white.” – Hassell

The Depot

Up until 1969, the site was used as a depot for Brisbane trams. The Buranda Village redevelopment plans to pay homage to that transit past by designing public amenities resembling the iconic Brisbane trams.

    Great to see the area cleaned up, hopefully this development will clean out the druggies and undesirables that plague the area.

    The green space is elevated and disconnected from street level and the building architectural design and colour scheme is not modern and reminiscent of gold Coast 80s architecture. Overall poor outcomes.

    A significant improvement on the existing shopping centre / car park.

    However it needs:
    – fewer car parks
    – better ways of addressing the street level on some aspects
    – better integration with public transport
    – probably a few more retail / restaurant options.

    Definitely an improvement on the existing centre. It does feel like a collection of buildings like a village which hopefully activates the currently suffering ground plane as described by the architect.

    That is an incredible amount of planting that will require both water and maintenance to remain healthy. I imagine the body corp fees with be astronomical.
    Nice if it can be achieved, but depressing if not well managed.

    MUCH better use of the space than the current, carpark-centric plan, but I wish we could keep a little of the daggy comfort of the existing Buranda – the Target, say, and that awesome middle-eastern takeaway that’s been there forever. And some affordable housing. But I guess it’s less commercially viable then eh?
