ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods is progressing its plans for its Southbank arts precinct site.&nbsp;

The developer has filed plans, which are now with the&nbsp;Department of Transport and Planning, for a new 20-level tower at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/141-151-sturt-street-southbank-vic-3006">141–151 Sturt Street</a>, a 2,718 sqm block opposite the Habitat Filter sculpture.

The proposal seeks to demolish the two-level&nbsp;commercial building, including a small supermarket and medical tenancies, and create a new building with 180 apartments and a focus on an&nbsp;active public realm and arts integration.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Southbank site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="76a72db6-91ef-43ae-827d-a9cfa72893d2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Site.png?VersionId=DZgtB4K6BswVh0QtCs3iLjXaLp0CbcEb" />

&nbsp;

There will be a full mix of apartment configurations, including 28 studio apartments, 16 one-bedroom, 104 two-bedroom, and 32 three-bedroom units.

Retail, creative arts, and residential amenity functions are integrated across the lower levels. A food and drink tenancy is planned to front Dodds Street, while a retail tenancy fronting Sturt Street will be accessed via an elevated walkway. The first floor includes a substantial 734 sqm creative arts space, envisioned to support Melbourne’s growing cultural and digital industries.

Architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has put together the plans. In their&nbsp;Urban Design Report they highlighted the project’s ambition to embed itself within Southbank’s evolving cultural fabric.

A central feature of the design is a through-block link connecting Sturt and Dodds Streets, landscaped with native plantings and embedded with universal access ramps.

“The ramp has been thoughtfully integrated as the primary access point, ensuring universal accessibility for all users,” the report noted, with the link offering “a direct response to the urban planning scheme of creating more green spaces within our communities”.

<img alt="Southbank podium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4d24b1b2-d69c-4a11-a11d-ec6df432221c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium.png?VersionId=geWoJyZDmPSLODZ_.PNJ0LvpOmyyCdpo" />

The building’s podium form responds to the mandatory height limits along Dodds Street and maintains a fine-grain interface to adjoining developments. Above the podium, the tower is articulated with recessed balconies and a focus on views toward the CBD and surrounding arts institutions. A communal rooftop recreation deck and indoor lounge are positioned on level four, adjoining seven apartments and providing over 900 sqm of resident amenity space.

Vehicle access and loading will be provided via Dodds Street, with 155 resident car spaces located across two basement levels and the first three above-ground floors. Bicycle storage is more generous, with 226 spaces distributed across resident, staff and visitor needs.

Rothelowman describes the architecture as “humanist,” with ground-level interfaces designed to encourage social interaction and provide a dignified entry for both residents and passers-by. “All street interfaces are crafted to invite and nurture human connections,” the design report states. “The façade transitions to a human scale, providing an approachable and engaging streetscape”.

Cedar Woods, while well-known for its large communities it develops outside of Australia's capital cities, they have recently developed in Melbourne's inner-ring before. They are approaching completion at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/88-leveson-north-melbourne-88-leveson-street-north-melbourne-vic-3051">88 Leveson</a>, just 15 townhouses in the heart of North Melbourne.

Cedar Woods progresses with new apartment plans in Southbank arts precinct

Brisbane developers Core Property Partners and Vector Property Australia has teamed up for Brisbane's newest apartment development.

The duo identified <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as their preferred suburb, on the fringe of the Gabba Precinct, where they've just revealed BANKSII, 72 apartments opposite Raymond Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5481]

The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will sit in a glass-wrapped building that will also feature a rooftop with an&nbsp;infinity-edge pool, a BBQ area and alfresco dining spaces, sun lounges, and a sauna, as well as a resident-only gym and a ground-floor cafe.

Rhett Williams, Director of Vector Property Australia, said the project will lift the quality of the East Brisbane community and set a new benchmark.

"In Brisbane’s current property landscape, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/banksii-east-brisbane-169-wellington-road-east-brisbane-qld-4169">BANKSII</a> stands out through its emphasis on lifestyle-oriented living, connectivity and sophisticated design," Williams says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5479]

The 10-level building has been designed by MAS Architecture. Their designs were inspired by the native Banksia flower, with the architecture and interiors reflecting the organic symmetry of its namesake flora. MAS has interpreted this throughout the building’s curved form, façade detailing and interior palette.&nbsp;

The building’s flowing geometry and natural tones are complemented by large balconies and floor-to-ceiling glazing, maximising cross-breezes, daylight and views over the city, parklands and river.

“Having a strong narrative for a building helps us architecturally,” MAS noted. "We can choose colours that come off that species of flowers. The trunk and the trees and the flower elements all are now visible in our joinery on the inside and in our architectural finishes on the outside."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5485]

Apartments will feature timber floors, soft porcelain tiles, brushed bronze fittings, and stone benchtops with warm veining.&nbsp;

Kitchens feature premium SMEG appliances and generous storage, while bathrooms have been designed as calming retreats with curved cabinetry and twin sinks in the master ensuites.

The building will feature a suite of rooftop and wellness amenities. Residents will have access to an infinity-edge pool, BBQ and alfresco dining areas, sun lounges and a rooftop sauna.&nbsp;

A residents-only gym will be located on the podium level, while a ground-floor café and landscaped laneway will further activate the site and improve neighbourhood connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5488]

BANKSII will rise from a prime Wellington Road site, with the building oriented to overlook the adjacent Raymond Park and take in extensive city views. It is also on the doorstep of key&nbsp;lifestyle infrastructure, including the future Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, The Gabba stadium, and the planned Brisbane Live arena.&nbsp;

Public transport options, including ferry, bus and rail - including the future Cross River Rail Woolloongabba station - are all nearby, supporting a car-optional lifestyle just minutes from the CBD.

Williams said the team spent over a year searching for the ideal site before securing this location.

"We were attracted to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as it is a vibrant and growing community that offers a perfect balance of urban convenience and natural beauty with the parklands and river on our doorstep.”

The project is part of the broader Woolloongabba Games precinct, which is undergoing significant investment in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. This urban renewal, coupled with infrastructure upgrades, is expected to enhance long-term liveability and capital growth in the area.

Given the wide max of configurations, BANKSII is expected to suit everyone from first home buyers and investors to families and downsizers.

BANKSII sales launch in booming East Brisbane apartment market

The Minns Labor Government will deliver Sydney’s first new heavy rail station in more than a decade – enabling up to 10,000 new homes by rezoning land around Woollahra and Edgecliff stations, right next to the CBD, to tackle the housing crisis and rebalance growth across the city.

Recent reports by the NSW Productivity Commission have warned that Sydney is losing twice as many young people as it is gaining, while also finding that Woollahra is the most feasible Local Government Area (LGA) in New South Wales to build new housing.

Despite this, housing approvals in Woollahra consistently lag well behind other LGAs, and the population has declined by 11 per cent over the past 50 years while Greater Sydney as a whole has grown by 74 per cent.

The new station that will be an eight-minute trip from Sydney CBD, will be located on the Eastern Suburbs train line in Woollahra, where a station build was started in the 1970s but never completed.

To enable the delivery of new homes the NSW Government will lead a rezoning of Woollahra and Edgecliff stations similar to other state led rezonings to allow additional homes to be built around the stations.

Affordable housing will also make up a proportion of development on the site with the final amount of affordable housing required, to be determined as part of the rezoning process.

The area surrounding the new station is within walking distance of major green and recreational space including Cooper, Trumper, Rushcutters Bay and Centennial Parks.

The Eastern Suburbs train line between Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD also has the lowest passenger usage rates during the AM peak of any line on the Sydney network, with only 43 per cent of operating capacity during the AM peak currently being utilised by passengers.

Sydney Water and Infrastructure NSW have confirmed there is capacity in the water and wastewater systems to accommodate the proposed 10,000 dwellings without major upgrades.

The rezoning is expected to take around two years and will further support the Government’s housing targets that rebalance the delivery of new homes around existing infrastructure.

Fresh off completing its mixed-use Malvern project Malvern Collective, Kokoda Property Group has acquired a prime site on Richmond's Bridge Road.

They are planning a mid-rise residential development with&nbsp;integrated wellness amenities and a vibrant ground-floor retail and dining offering.

The site, at&nbsp;487–495 Bridge Road, spans&nbsp;1,650 sqm with 50 metres of dual frontage across Bridge Road and Palmer Street. It is currently leased to Adairs, and has a large retail building and 20 onsite car parks.
</section>

<section data-element_type="section" data-id="534a164">
Kokoda Property Group’s acquisition forms part of a broader phase of growth in Melbourne, building on momentum from the completion of Malvern Collective and the recent purchase of a Burnley Street site for the developer’s first commercial project.&nbsp;

Mark Stevens, Kokoda Property Group’s Founder and Managing Director, said that the company’s Bridge Road site acquisition signals confidence in a city that is re-accelerating.

“Melbourne is regaining momentum,"&nbsp;Stevens said.

"After a cautious period post-COVID, we’re seeing buyer sentiment stabilise and capital leaning back into well-located, quality projects. Victoria now benefits from deep builder capacity and competitive delivery pricing, creating a rare opportunity to bring design-led inner-city developments to market without compromising on craftsmanship.

“Richmond ticks all the boxes for us – connectivity, culture and everyday amenity – making Bridge Road the perfect address for an amenity-rich, multi-use development."

<img alt="Kokoda" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9a8de51d-8092-480a-8b7e-e081816692c2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-29%20at%208.54.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VRHpV5.6beOu2cieKHWrw3ErMPuVOAuj" />

Envisioned as an “urban lantern” the building will bring a distinctive new presence to Bridge Road with a sculptural retail frontage, designed to honour the street’s heritage character while contributing to its renewal.

Stevens said the acquisition reflects the developer’s commitment to design-led addresses in Melbourne’s inner city.

“Drawing on Richmond’s rich heritage and dynamic character, we’ve envisioned a contemporary building that respects the past while elevating the way people live today. With dual frontages, curated ground-floor spaces, and a focus on wellness, this project will contribute to the neighbourhood’s evolution, appealing to both downsizers and a new generation of professionals.”

Kokoda Property will now progress concept design ahead of a future planning process.

First look: Kokoda secures Richmond site for new apartment development

Gold Coast developer Drew Group is fast approaching sell-out at its Main Beach apartment development, Lagoon Main Beach.

In the last nine months, Drew Group and sales partner Pezet Matheson have secured 31 sales totalling over $75 million, as the two-tower development advances towards completion under the expert eye of Hutchinson Builders.

“Today's buyers are more discerning than ever," Drew Group Managing Director Jon Drew says.

"It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=193023]

Just over 50 per cent of recent&nbsp;sales have been to local buyers, reflecting the deep trust and connection within the Gold Coast community that Drew Group has developed over the years.

Demand has been particularly robust at the top end, with two of the three exclusive penthouses already sold, alongside five sub-penthouses. Only seven apartments remain in Lagoon's Signature Series — one&nbsp;penthouse and six sub-penthouses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=284864]

Drew Group has also removed the much-maligned sunset clause from all contracts at Lagoon. The sunset clause — although rarely invoked, yet on occasion known to have been — allows developers to take back contracts on apartments should the building not be completed within the timeframe specified in the contract.

Pezet Matheson Co-Director Jayde Pezet says the fact Lagoon is&nbsp;within a year of completion, and has no sunset clause in contracts, provides certainty to buyers.

"This is paramount in the current market," Pezet says.

Drew Group has committed to providing the highest level of security inclusions — none more impressive than the Ubiquity Access Control System, a cutting-edge facial recognition technology that is one of the most state-of-the-art keyless entry systems on the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=190743]

One of the biggest drawcards to Lagoon has been the size of the apartments.

"It is unlikely that any future new development in Main Beach will be able to offer such spacious living at this price point," Drew says.

"Today's buyers are more discerning than ever, carefully evaluating amenities like gyms, spas, workspaces, and beach lockers, along with quality finishes. It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

Lagoon is set to complete construction in mid-2026.

Offering thirteen full floor residences and incredible views of the Brisbane river and CBD, the building will be an iconic addition in <a href="/developments/kangaroo-point-qld-4169">Kangaroo Point</a>. Each four bedroom residence will also offer three parking spaces and a first for Brisbane - charging provisions for every vehicle.

<a href="/buildings/thornton-11-thornton-street-kangaroo-point">Thornton</a> has also collaborated with some of Brisbane and Australia’s most admired and celebrated visionaries, Architect Liam Proberts; Australia’s distinguished art dealer and patron Philip Bacon AM; Artist Ralph Wilson, and renowned chef and restaurateur Thierry Galichet to bring their expertise and personal touch to the project.

<a href="/developers/alceon" target="_blank">Alceon</a> and development partner Core Property Partners have lodged plans with council for massive overhaul of the Tatts Group site in <a href="/developments/albion-qld-4010">Albion</a> which includes a new 15-storey residential tower, 6-storey commercial tower and refurbishment of the existing brutalist 10-storey commercial building.

Designed by <a href="/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a> and <a href="/architects/arkhefield" target="_blank">Arkhefield</a>, the proposal also includes a public plaza connecting the three buildings and almost 5,000 square metres of retail space which includes tenancies for a childcare centre and 1,500sqm supermarket.

As part of the application, the existing brutalist tower which has often been heralded as one of the city’s ugliest buildings, will receive a drastic renewal of the facade whilst the iconic side-cores are refurbished and maintained.

The residential tower features 77 dwellings across its 10 habitable floors, with a double height showroom fronting the corner of Sandgate Road and Gore Street, as well as a double-storey bistro tenancy. The building is capped off by a rooftop garden, pool and barbecue terrace offering city and river views.

Thornton Kangaroo Point is also a collaboration with some of Brisbane and Australia’s most admired and celebrated visionaries;

<a href="/developers/pikos-group">Pikos Property Group</a> have lodged a minor change DA at Banyan Tree Residences - 8 River Terrace, Kangaroo Point.

The change includes a slight height increase from the previous approval, and 63 x 3 bed apartments across three buildings, rather than two. The new DA, designed by <a href="/architects/arkhefield" target="_blank">Arkhefield</a> also includes a rooftop bar and restaurant, with a glass lift providing views on the way up top. Situated on top of the <a href="/developments/kangaroo-point-qld-4169">Kangaroo Point</a> cliffs, the western-facing apartments and rooftop would certainly offer excellent views of the river and CBD.

The development would also be widely seen due to its highly eminent location, and the new <a href="/architects/arkhefield">Arkhefield</a> design undoubtedly meets the high standard in which the prominent site demands.

<a href="/developments/maroochydore-qld-4558">Maroochydore</a> is set to become the business and employment hub of the <a href="/developments/sunshine-coast-qld" target="_blank">Sunshine Coast</a>, with the bold Maroochydore City Centre Development Scheme beginning early construction recently. The massive priority development area aims to create a new central business district for the Sunshine Coast through a masterplanned, 60 hectare space situated on council owned land and the former Horton Park Golf Club. 
As part of the masterplan Sunshine Coast Council are currently building a stunning new city hall, designed by <a href="/architects/cottee-parker-architects" target="_blank">Cottee Parker Architects</a>, and being built by <a href="/developers/mcnab-developments" target="_blank">McNab</a>. The new council headquarters will feature 10 floors totalling approximately 9,400sqm of GFA, a rooftop recreational area and 156 car parking spaces. The building is also targeting both a 5 star NABERS and Green Star rating as a model of sustainable design. 
Sunshine Coast Council aimed to incorporate natural elements in the building’s form, and take occupation of a landmark building with smart, creative and innovative design principles. It’s clear from the renders that <a href="/architects/cottee-parker-architects" target="_blank">Cottee Parker</a> have done an excellent job in delivering on these requests. 
Council is set to occupy their new city hall building in July 2022.

How incredible is this?

Kelly Slater Wave Company, Consolidated Properties Group &amp; <a href="/builders/hutchinson-builders" target="_blank">Hutchinson Builders</a> have all teamed up to present Surf Ranch Sunshine Coast - an unmatched surfing experience proposed for construction in <a href="/developments/coolum-beach-qld-4573">Coolum</a>.

The application for the exciting project is currently with the State Government for approval, and it would be incredible to see a project like this delivered in South East Queensland. If approved and constructed, the Surf Ranch would undoubtedly be a hot tourist attraction in the region.

The Surf Ranch would anchor a broader development precinct including a 6 star eco-lodge, event and training facilities and much more.

There's a lot happening in Brisbane at the moment, so here's a round-up of the latest construction milestones in the city. 

Tour of The Eminence

Recently, Build Brisbane had the pleasure of touring Pellegrino Group Australia and <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group</a>’s stunning new $40m joint venture commercial development ‘<a href="https://www.mosaicproperty.com.au/design/the-eminence/">The Eminence</a>’ in Fortitude Valley thanks to Paul Pellegrino.

Located on McLachlan Street, the six-storey, A-grade building features a gorgeous design from <a href="/architects/oneill-architecture">O'Neill Architecture</a> which embraces Brisbane’s climate by maximising natural light and including leafy balconies and a huge rooftop breakout space.

The addition of the rooftop deck is an excellent, though, ill-included aspect of most commercial developments which hopefully, we see more of in the future. The lush space features meeting rooms and ample space for the tenants to eat lunch, make a call or take in the city views over some well-earned Friday arvo drinks.

The Eminence’s lobby is also a sight in and of itself to behold, featuring magnificent curves, elegant Italian tiles, and a ground floor café. The six-storey development certainly has plenty on offer for its tenants and is a fantastic addition to the Valley.

The building is almost fully leased with only one floor remaining.

In late July, <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group announced</a> the construction of their two-tower project ‘<a href="/buildings/the-sinclair-by-mosaic-150-toohey-street-east-brisbane">The Sinclair</a>’ in East Brisbane which will begin next month. The eight-storey towers designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> will be joined by a sky bridge and a total of 122 apartments, with an ever-so-important rooftop recreation area capping off the development and making the most of the gorgeous city views.

The site on Wellington Road has sat vacant for some time with Brisbane-based Blue Sky Alternative Investments previously owning the site, which also featured a similar development application.

With The Sinclair reportedly over 75% sold, Mosaic are confident in the <a href="/industry-news/demand-for-brisbane-property-soaring">Brisbane market</a> and have bumped the construction timeline as a result.

<figure><a href="/buildings/the-sinclair-by-mosaic-150-toohey-street-east-brisbane"><img alt="" class="image-article_full_width_580px" height="380" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2020-09-02_at_1.28.57_pm.png?itok=NFDvnsrb" title="Source: Built Brisbane/Linkedin" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Source: Built Brisbane/Linkedin</figcaption></figure>The Valley’s Tallest Building Lodged

Now, this is something different! <a href="https://www.cpltd.com.au/">Cornerstone Properties </a>have lodged massive plans for a 19-floor commercial office tower designed by bureau^proberts at 251 Wickham Street in Fortitude Valley.

The proposed building would top out at roughly 115 metres tall and features full floor glazing with a striking exoskeleton and stepped profile, somewhat reminiscent of Sydney’s <a href="/news/part-approval-for-macquarie-banks-unsolicited-proposal-in-martin-place-irks-city-of-sydney">Deutsche Bank Place</a>. Each office floor features a south-facing balcony looking back towards the city, capped off by a roof terrace.

The<a href="/news/5-of-australias-top-apartment-gardens"> landscape plans</a> come from the team at Lat27, though the building certainly isn’t as lush and green as some of the proposals we’ve seen in recent months. The ground plane does include new greenery (which would be a great addition to this section of the Valley), with an engaging first floor featuring a gym space, infinity-edge pool and end of trip facilities.

If constructed, the building would be the Valley’s tallest building unless Cornerstone gets its previously approved 301 Wickham Street commercial tower underway.

Brisbane's latest construction milestones: Featuring Pellegrino, Mosaic + Cornerstone Properties

<html><body>
There's a lot happening in Brisbane at the moment, so here's a round up of the latest construction milestones in the city. 

<h2>Mirvac commence construction on Ashford Residences</h2>

<figure><img alt="" class="image-article_full_width_580px" height="393" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2020-08-26_at_6.53.03_pm.png?itok=_fBMruWu" title="Source: Built Brisbane/Linkedin" width="580">

<figcaption>Source: Built Brisbane/Linkedin</figcaption></figure><a href="/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a> have now commenced construction on their $81 million Ashford Residences community at Everton Park which includes the creation of a one-hectare eco area alongside the Kedron Brook.

Civil contractor Pensar Infrastructure have been engaged to begin work on the initial stages which will form part of the Ashford Residences project. On completion, Mirvac Residential's new community will feature 124 residences, including 43 freestanding homes and 80 three and four bedroom terrace homes, along with the newly restored heritage Queenslander, 'Murphy's Dairy Residence' and as pictured; The Ashford Club.

<h2>Cavcorp connect retail precinct to Luminare</h2>

<figure><a href="/buildings/luminare-newstead-20-festival-place-newstead"><img alt="" class="image-article_full_width_580px" height="313" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2020-08-26_at_6.59.13_pm.png?itok=XWzaKQ8C" title="Source: Built Brisbane/Linkedin" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Source: Built Brisbane/Linkedin</figcaption></figure><a href="/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> have lodged a proposal to expand their award-winning Long Island retail precinct with a new four-floor fitness and wellness centre. The new development will be the second stage of Long Island and will be built around a central public piazza which will also connect Lucent and the future <a href="/buildings/luminare-newstead-20-festival-place-newstead">Luminare</a> building.

The building highlights Cavcorp’s commitment to health and wellness for their residents and locals alike, through the inclusion of two full floors for gyms and a top floor featuring a 25 metre pool, yoga pavilion, magnesium spas, infrared saunas and float tanks. The rooftop even features a vegetable garden.

<h2>West End’s Tree House includes over 1000 trees</h2>

<figure><a href="/buildings/tree-house-111-jane-street-west-end"><img alt="" class="image-article_full_width_580px" height="247" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2020-08-26_at_7.01.01_pm.png?itok=RA-ftrLf" title="Source: Aria Property" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Source: Aria Property</figcaption></figure>One of West End’s most exciting developments currently under construction is <a href="/developers/aria-property-group">Aria Living's</a> "Tree House" at 111 Jane Street, opposite Davies Park. Designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, the 12 storey, 90 apartment residential building aims to merge lush greenery with an architecturally striking form, featuring more than 60 mature trees throughout.

Using an earthy colour palette and incorporating some gorgeous curves, <a href="/buildings/tree-house-111-jane-street-west-end">Tree House</a> is a prime example of Aria’s ability to go well above and beyond Brisbane City Council's Buildings that Breathe guidelines with landscape designers RPS at the helm. The capacity to adequately maintain the intense amount of vegetation at Tree House will likely have some impact and dictate future decision making for Aria’s bold new Urban Forest proposal, which is proposed to contain over a thousand trees.

And what’s an Aria development without a stunning rooftop? Tree House certainly doesn’t buck the trend featuring; a 2 storey rooftop with river and city views, an infinity pool, spa, private dining rooms, BBQ facilities and even a playground for the kids.

The development is on track for completion towards the end of the year.
