Clarence Property Plots 28-Storey Tower in Olympics Hub

A 28-storey brick and glazed facade apartment tower has been proposed for a site close to the Olympic Athletes Village proposed for Northshore Hamilton. Developer Clarence Property has put forward plans for a 189-apartment development at 9 Hercules Road, a site the group bought for about $12 million in 2018. The 1841sq m site sits within the State Government’s priority development area of Northshore Hamilton, where it plans to house athletes during the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Jackson Teece-designed tower comprises a mix of apartment types across 28 storeys with food and beverage at the ground plane, and a rooftop pool and residents’ lounge. Place Design Group’s town planning documents outline the site’s proximity to major road arterials in an area that is identified as a “growth node” within the Brisbane City Plan. “The proposed residential-led mixed-use development capitalises on the highly desirable location and provides a significant contribution to supply of housing within the PDA area,” the report said. “The development has been creatively designed by Jackson Teece to promote sustainable inner-city living on a well-located site capitalising on access to essential services, key transport infrastructure, recreational areas, and the 2032 Olympic precinct.” ▲ A slender 28-storey tower would rise on the 1841sq m site at Hamilton. The tower stack comprises three podium levels, which according to the report have been designed to address, activate and provide visual appeal to the street frontage. Setbacks from the podium levels optimise the views to the CBD, Brisbane River and local open spaces, while staggered planters and vertical greenery contribute to the articulated built form of the tower. The planters have been designed to represent cabbage palms and incorporate varieties of ferns that are historically linked to the area. The design has focused on three distinctive principles for the development, being native landscape identity, community creation, and a slender and subtropical built form. Clarence Property mid last year inked a $119 million deal to buy 120 Edward Street in the heart of Brisbane City. The funds group acquired the A-grade office tower from global real estate investment manager DWS, at a $24-million discount.
