Plans have been filed for a twin tower project in Brisbane's south side suburb of Stones Corner.

Peter Gartshore from the family-ran Idec Group are behind the plans on the 3,846 sqm site at 73-85 Cleveland Street, which will feature a striking skybridge connecting the two recreational rooftops designed by NMDS Architecture.

&nbsp;

The submitted town planning report highlights the strategic importance of the proposed site in Stones Corner, stating that it falls within a growth node on a selected transport corridor identified under the City Plan. It emphasises that areas within these nodes offer opportunities for more intense urban forms that cater to the needs of the local community.

Despite exceeding the prescribed eight-storey height limit, the report argues that the proposed development is appropriate for the site and aligns with the desired outcomes of the high-density residential zone.

The report also emphasises the housing crisis in the southeast Queensland region, with low rental and housing stock levels, and states that the project will provide 226 additional housing opportunities in close proximity to centres, community services, and transport options.

Stones Corner, located just over two kilometres from Woollongabba, the home of the 2032 Olympic Games, is undergoing significant urban transformation with the aim of residential and mixed-use densification.

&nbsp;

The towers will boast a design incorporating extensive use of planter boxes adorned with climbing and cascading plants.&nbsp;&nbsp;NMDS Architecture have designed the project.

The skybridge, spanning the gap between the north and south towers, will link a spacious 1273 sqm of communal rooftop recreation space. The recreational area will include amenities such as a pool, spa, terrace area, gymnasium, sauna, showers, change rooms, alfresco and indoor dining areas, a theatre, community garden, and a dedicated dog walking area.

The proposed development will prioritise green spaces and landscaping. The landscaping design by Wild Studio includes vertical green walls extending the full height of the building, feature trees at the main entrance on Cleveland Street, raised garden beds, and planter boxes with climbing and cascading plants.

The integration of greenery aims to create a vertical, subtropical micro-climate that enhances the building's appearance, provides cooling to residents, and contributes to the overall streetscape.

The development will include three basement levels with space for 330 cars. While the area is well-serviced by public transport, alternative transportation options will also be provided to residents. A car share system will enable those without vehicles to access ten electric vehicles, and there will be ample bicycle parking spaces, 283 in total, supported by an on-site bicycle workshop.
