Whilst having a look at the Edge Apartments site today, I noticed that the strip of eight houses in Railway Terrace between Walsh and Manning Streets (the two streets that front Edge) are the subject of a development application.

Can be seen to the right of the circled building in this photo (Railway Terrace is the street running diagonally across the photo).

Was it relating to apartments? Without knowing which side of the street you are talking about, maybe it has something to do with QR discussing the possibility of selling the air-space over Milton train station. Although I was under the impression that this was only in the very early discussion stage. Last I heard I think it was a 5 storey office building to go up over the station. Perhaps this development application links to that, or maybe it is just more apartments.

Its on the other side of the street to the station and it is definately units - no mention of mixed use or commercial.

Very close to approval now.

City News today reports that two 10 storey residential towers at 22-36 Railway Terrace Milton are likely to be approved this week.

The towers share a podium and have been designed by Kris Kawalski Architects. Will contain 56 units - 8 one bedders, 40 two bedders and 8 three bedroom penthouses. Construction is expected to start early next year.

The site is just 40 metres from Milton station and so will be very close to the commercial block proposed to be built above the station.

Apartments are well underway and the design looks similarish to the edge. A nice addition!

^^ Which? where? the ones on top of Milton station?

No it's next door to the Edge apartments (the one circled in the first post) between the edge and the station.

The building is called Elysees. Some photos.....

This guy, has either topped out or about to. Milton will be quite dense with this, the edge, the railways station tower and the railway terrace tower!

Brewery views saved in transit
5 April 2007 -The Courier-Mail

BRISBANE'S love affair with XXXX has seen developers change plans for the first transit-oriented development at Milton.

FKP had initially proposed a 30-storey building on a site it amalgamated on Railway Terrace, Milton in addition to a large-floor-plate, six-level building.

Concerns that the second building would block views of the brewery have moved FKP to change its proposal for the property.

The second building is now proposed for 11-storeys but with smaller 1200sq m floor plates. FKP has also moved the secondary building to the west of the site, to ensure uninterrupted views of the brewery.

FKP executive general manager Queensland Matthew Miller said the group was very conscious of not hindering views of the brewery for those driving from the city.

"It has always been an important thing (not to block views)," he said. "The building has certainly got an iconic status."

The changes come as another developer awaits a decision on its plans for a 20-storey building nearby.

Pro Vision Developments has lodged a development application to build a mixed-use development further along Railway Terrace.

It proposes a two-tower development with one 20 storey building and one eight-storey building.

Pro Vision Developments director Camille Rahme said the group was working with the council on its application and that it was an evolving proposal.

3 storey apartments (http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/masterview/modules/applicationmaster/default.aspx?page=wrapper&key=A001616320) have been approved on the corner of Railway Terrace and Walsh Street.
