[ NEWS ] BRISBANE’S NEXT ICONIC LANDMARK: PLANS UNVEILED FOR TALLEST TOWER OUTSIDE THE CBD 🏙️ A bold new vision is set to transform South Brisbane as developers propose a 50-storey residential tower, making it the city’s tallest structure outside the CBD. Positioned near the iconic Skyneedle, this ambitious project by Aria Property Group promises to redefine urban living with its innovative design and community focus. Spanning an expansive 7,295m² site, the development will feature three towers (50, 40, and 24 storeys), offering 678 residential apartments, a 216-room luxury hotel, and world-class retail and dining precincts. At its heart will lie 3,650m² of publicly accessible green spaces, including a central 1,600m² community park—a gift to Brisbane’s residents and visitors. Architecturally, the project embodies sustainable design principles with vertical gardens, rooftop landscaping, and open-air courtyards, creating a “Buildings That Breathe” experience. Beyond just height, this project signals Brisbane’s rise as a global city, joining Sydney and Melbourne in hosting record-breaking towers outside their city centres. The tallest Tower C, housing the luxury hotel, is designed to cater to Brisbane’s growing tourism demand as the city prepares for the 2032 Olympics. With a vision for sustainability, connectivity, and community, this development will be a neighbourhood-transforming precinct.
