DA A003776704

Well, this was a lot more substantial that I was expecting! Blue Tower owner Dexus is proposing to demolish the little two storey annex building facing Elizabeth Street, and replace it with this larger sidekick.

 

[KJBrissy]

I love it. Particularly the 'floating' nature of the building and the chance for a rooftop restaurant/hotel.

 

[PeterJackson]

i like it,a business travel hotel plus ground and rooftop bars/restaurants in the golden triangle would be a smart investment

 

[nathandavid88]

^^ Wrong type of hotel. They mean hotel as in pub rather than short stay accommodation. The building is designed as predominantly office space, but the top two levels could be either office space or rooftop bar – it hasn't yet been decided. I really, REALLY hope for the latter.

 

[neilo63]

COOL!

 

[SoulvisionQ1]

Great use of a small site! Hope we get an awesome rooftop bar!

6,000sq.m of office space in the Golden Triangle hardly seems worth it. When BHP move to 480 Queen in the next year or so there would be a lot of vacant space in Riparian.

 

[Fyver]

I like that little annex

 

[BrisbaneROCKS]

Brilliant filler. I'm more than happy for quality fillers like this if we can't get height. Love the street activisation, and the facade reminds me of some of the stuff being done in Scandinavia.

I was waiting for McWhirters to chime in with that comment

Looks awesome, great little filler

Don't worry, I won't be losing sleep over it.

I'm sure it's worth it to the landlord: 6000sqm x $600/sqm = $3.6m p.a. in rent.

 

[BrizzyChris]

+ retail rent.

 

[Fyver]

Provided they get tenants..

 

[flipst3r]

The shop in that small building has been emptied as of this afternoon, will we see some action soon?

 

[nathandavid88]

^^ The DA hasn't been approved yet, so not just yet, but maybe too soon to bother finding a new tenant?

 

[McWhirters]

Well colour me predictable but I do like that little annexe.

 

[flipst3r]

Looks like next door (283 Elizabeth street) aren't happy with the proposal, especially in regards to the tenants in common laneway.

 

[nathandavid88]

^^ That certainly is a looooong list of concerns, and some of them do appear to have merit. That said, I hope they can be worked through.
