#Completed: Green Square (Valley) - 13st/50m/mixed/urban renewal

SoulvisionQ1 · June 23rd, 2006, 05:03 AM

Site> Here
Mixed use - Urban Village, Located in the Valley.

Green Square, developed by Leighton Properties, is the largest mixed use Corporate Office Park developed in Brisbane over the last 15 years. Green Square has been designed to accommodate over 49,000m2 of A-Grade Commercial office space, High Tech Utility facilities, community facilities and a residential precinct. These buildings will surround a Pocket Park and retail plaza providing food outlets and services for staff and visitors.

The site is located within 250 metres of all public transport and a public car park. The continuation of Alfred Street provides vehicle access to the site and easy pedestrian access to Brunswick Street Railway Station and the Valley Metro Retail Centre. Access will be further enhanced by the completion of North South Bypass Tunnel.

It looks very good, as long as the CBD and Valley can merge more. Therefore, we can have a huge City area. The specific CBD can be "downtown", with the Valley connected to "downtown" between light rail and major pedestrian access. We should not have a City that you can explore in two hours.

Would still prefer Emerald Tower than this, but Green Square is a great stepping-stone

wow a 13storey up there. great stuff. ill add to emporis.

***Oriolus*** · June 23rd, 2006, 05:58 AM

Wow, 49,000 sqm of A-Grade office space!! That's massive. I'm not sure if that'd be gross floor area or net lettable area? I'm guessing net lettable area? By comparison the 32 storey tower at 400 George will only have a NLA of 41,893 sqm (GFA 49,617 sqm).

The masterplan deson't have any legend?? But I think "1" is the top right pic in SoulvisionQ1's post - groundscraping 5s office building. Then "2" must be the 13 storey tower, "3" is this:

And building "4" is this:

Then building "5" is shown on the edge of the previous sketch - about 5 storeys. Took a while to nut that out.

Cool, it's a little seedy around there so this will help. It's a huge site, I drove past there last week and wondered what's going on.

***BrizzyChris*** · June 23rd, 2006, 12:08 PM

Wow, awesome development. This will hopefully tie in very nicely with all the redevelopments happening within the RNA grounds.

Danubis · June 24th, 2006, 07:34 AM

its near those awful pigeon holes behindside the centro carpark exit/entry... anyone seen them? hideous.

KJBrissy · June 24th, 2006, 07:34 AM

They're fantastic! I love them, (and happen to live in them)!

Just a change for Emporis, the suburb listed there is Spring Hill, and it's actually Fortitude Valley!

neilo63 · June 24th, 2006, 07:45 AM

Thats a very nice mixed use development. I like the Architecture going up on this end of town of late.

Brissy4me · June 25th, 2006, 09:48 AM

Wow, should be excellent for the area. Great location. We desperately need the office space in Brisbane, I am guessing that once approved, this should be constructed fairly quickly.

oh, sorry to be critical then... but they do look like little pigeon holes from the street... I half expect to see 1000's of little gay boys squawking their little lungs out from the balconies... shitting on the passer byers below. thats just my impression tho.

Danubis, there are young forumers on here. Don't really think there is any need for that at all.

neilo63 · June 25th, 2006, 12:01 PM

hahaha this is gold... um does anyone happen to have a picture of these "pigeon holes", might jerk my memory?

SoulvisionQ1 · June 25th, 2006, 12:07 PM

What the hell are these "pigeon holes" anyway?? what are we talking about here? I have never seen them...

KJBrissy · June 26th, 2006, 05:10 AM

Here is a hand drawing of them

SoulvisionQ1 · June 26th, 2006, 05:13 AM

There cool! we need more of them...space is getting harder to find so lets just drop the typical Queenslander attitude about space and the "veranda" and move forth into the future successfully.

KJBrissy · June 26th, 2006, 05:16 AM

I'm going to enjoy watching these baby's go up!!!

Brizzy-Mike · June 29th, 2006, 05:38 AM

I quite like that new development, came as bit of a surprise.

The urban renaissance has opened the door for a generation of café-dwelling, scooter-riding, European-city-breaking out of a diverse population to live the urban lifestyle without needing to be a stock exchange high flyer. Has no one ever heard of regeneration chic? Suburbia is so 20th Century.
