A NEW ERA FOR ALICE STREET: MERITON'S TWIN TOWERS TRANSFORMING BRISBANE'S SKYLINE
Hi neighbours and friends! As local residents and real estate agents, Charlie and I are buzzing with excitement to share the latest development that's set to redefine our beloved Alice Street in Brisbane City. Meriton, led by the visionary Harry Triguboff, has finally unveiled plans for a groundbreaking twin-tower project at 204 Alice Street, right opposite our serene Botanic Gardens.
🌆 The Twin Towers: A Sky-High Transformation
This ambitious project is a significant leap from Meriton's recent focus on the Gold Coast. With an investment of $140 million back in May 2023, Triguboff acquired The Gardens Apartments, paving the way for this new venture. The proposed design features two striking towers, soaring at 70 and 79 storeys, making them a dazzling addition to our city's skyline.
🏢 A Blend of Modern Living and Convenience
The 70-storey tower plans to house 262 short-term accommodation units, 456 apartments, and ground-floor dining options, offering a blend of luxury and practicality. The taller 79-storey sibling will comprise 544 apartments, along with a conveniently located childcare center on the first level. This mix of residential and commercial spaces speaks to the diverse needs of our growing community.
🚗 Parking Solutions for a Bustling CBD
Addressing one of the most pressing urban challenges, the development includes a generous provision of 913 car parking spaces, with a substantial 800 reserved for residents. This feature is a thoughtful addition, considering our city's growing demand for convenient parking solutions.
🏡 Replacing the Old with the New
The new towers will replace the aging 16-storey Gardens Apartments and adjacent townhouses. Spanning a 5485sqm area with frontages to both Alice and Margaret streets, this transformation is not just a change of structures but a rejuvenation of our neighborhood's spirit.
🌿 Embracing Contemporary Architecture
The development, crafted by architects DBI, showcases two contemporary towers above a five-level base, including five basement levels. The design is a testament to innovative architectural approaches, creating distinct facades that harmoniously blend with the street frontages.
🚶♂️ Enhancing Accessibility and Connectivity
A key highlight of this project is the planned pedestrian laneway through the site, which promises to enhance accessibility and connectivity within our precinct. This thoughtful addition ensures that the development is not just a standalone structure but an integral part of our community's fabric.
🌇 The Future of Brisbane's CBD
As we witness these towers rise, they symbolize more than just physical growth. They represent the evolving dynamics of Brisbane's CBD, blending modern living with the charm and history of our city. This development is poised to become a landmark, not just in its architectural grandeur but in its contribution to the vibrancy and liveliness of our community.
As your local real estate expert, I am eager to keep you updated on this exciting journey. Whether you're a long-time resident or considering making Alice Street your new home, the future here is as exciting!
Stay tuned for more updates as we watch our neighborhood transform!
