Dual-Tower Midrise Plans Filed for Moreton Bay’s Booming Redcliffe
Plans for a dual-tower midrise residential development have been filed for Moreton Bay’s rising Redcliffe Peninsula, north of Brisbane.
The proposal is slated for an amalgamated 1859sq m site spanning 39 Marine Parade and 28 Sutton Street.
Lodged by Primecrest Developments, an entity led by Hoh You Tan, the scheme designed by DKO Architecture would deliver 44 apartments across two eight-storey towers.
Tower 1 fronting Marine Parade would comprise 16 mostly three-bedroom units, while Tower 2 facing Sutton Street would accommodate 28 two-bedroom apartments.
According to a planning report prepared by Radian Planning Group, the proposed development has been designed to “deliver a diverse mix of housing forms, dwelling sizes, and tenure options, thereby responding to the varied needs of the contemporary community”.
“The scale of the development enables a critical mass of dwellings that supports genuine housing diversity, including a range of two and three-bedroom apartments suitable for singles, couples, families, downsizers, and elderly residents,” it said.
“By incorporating a mix of dwelling configurations, the development promotes greater housing choice and improves accessibility to the housing market for a broader demographic. The inclusion of varied tenure opportunities—such as owner-occupier and rental accommodation—further contributes to a balanced and inclusive residential environment.”
The code-assesable proposal is a pure residential play that does not integrate any commercial uses.
Under the plans, the residential component is complemented by lifestyle amenities. Tower 1 would include 113sq m of upper-ground communal space with a swimming pool, sun terrace and lounge. Tower 2 would incorporate an 89sq m lower-ground garden courtyard and social lounge.
Both towers would integrate two levels of basement parking with a combined 75 car spaces and storage for 33 bicycles.
A submitted design statement said the proposed development “celebrates its location, maximises amenity for future residents, and makes a meaningful contribution to the surrounding community”.
Its design draws inspiration from both “the distinctive vertical form of the Norfolk Pines that characterise the adjoining foreshore” and “gentle waves that lap the bay”.
“This project represents a thoughtful response to its context—a built form which reflects and builds upon Redcliffe’s rich natural surroundings, diverse heritage, and distinctive coastal character,” the documents said.
