#Completed: 400 George Street - 37st/150m/office

Malt · December 7th, 2004, 09:02 AM

The former site of the Georgian.

Theyre landscaping it atm (i saw some small construction/landscaping mchinery on the site yesterday, clearying dirt or soemthing)

Their application says "Landscaping of Vacant building site prior to subdivision as (Temporary) open space."

why are they doing that? what do they gain from making it into a small park?

That was always going to be an option after Devine let The Georgian go (shame about that - it was one of their better designs).

I didn't know it was going to be subdivided though.

What are they going to gain from it?

Not much in the near future, and neither Brisbane another 40-storey apartment building yet.

well it is a big block of land. You could divide it up and put multiple tall towers on it.

Muse · December 7th, 2004, 12:32 PM

Let's hope that it isn't subvided and the parcels sold off individually so all that ends up there are 8-12 storey commie blocks.

We'd hope that most of, if not all, are swooped up for the one grand development.

Splitting it too much will infact ruin it.

they could split it in 2 and fit 2 decent sized buildings (130-150m)

Muse · December 7th, 2004, 01:29 PM

The Georgian was quite a solid form with a huge footprint.

Its height before any spire to be added was to be 145m The Georgian. If the site can get 2 buildings of similar height, great!!

2 years have lapsed since Devine pulled the plug.

I heard that another developer was building a High-Rise Office Block on that site.

Malt · December 12th, 2004, 02:47 PM

whered u hear that

Muse · August 8th, 2005, 03:47 AM

Anymore on this dud of a site?

Maroon Grown · August 8th, 2005, 04:09 AM

that is PRIME land and a supertower should be built. Im so spewing about The Georgian.

Redress · August 8th, 2005, 07:46 AM

patience - something better and hopefully taller will evolve in time. The axeing of Georgian was a blessing in disguise my friend. Hopefully it will be resi tho. We need more people in the city to create vibrancy

CHapmaN · August 8th, 2005, 08:41 AM

we have tons of resis UC, approved and proposed. i want this to be a massive office tower. anything less that 200m will be a misuse

Here Here!!!!

Malt · August 8th, 2005, 09:58 AM

I concur =D

Ausilencer · August 8th, 2005, 10:42 AM

I have also heard about plans to subdivide the site and build a commercial tower on one of the subdivisions. However, I have also heard that the developers are interested in a mixed use tower for the site. This is all only hearsay really though > My guess would be that the overall site will be used for Commercial, Resi and Retail, but whether it will be as one big tower, or multiple smaller towers - we'll just have to wait and see (fingers crossed it will be one larger tower).

marty_k · August 8th, 2005, 11:05 AM

Mixed use is a fantastic way to drive up the height of a tower. I suggest it has retail, office and resi. And be 230m plus!

Or else... *shakes fist at developers*

Malt · August 8th, 2005, 11:15 AM

Or else we will charge at them in a furious battle .. charge wielding all manner of weapons.

marty_k · August 8th, 2005, 11:20 AM

Hey we could do what those hippies do to stop people logging in forests! We can all set up camp on the site and only move when a big enough tower is set to be built!

Malt · August 8th, 2005, 11:27 AM

LOL!

I like the plan. I like it alot.

But we would need to tap into the phone line and set up some comps for us to still access scc.

***BrizzyChris*** · August 9th, 2005, 10:47 AM

Anything under 200m is a total waste of this site, and ditto for the remaining land at Qld Place. 2 huge buildings in this area would help balance out the skyline finally.

Like i said, i was unsure as to why Orefo would label me a 13yr old and hence persisted with the alleged blood feaud, that and the fact that i find these little bickers entertaining to watch. So run along little boy ;)
