Mirvac lodges DA for $1 billion Waterfront Newstead community in Brisbane
Mirvac has lodged a development application for the next stage in its $1 billion Waterfront Newstead community.
The DA significantly expand's the area's signature waterfront parkland, along with offering quality apartments, lifestyle amenities and retail.
Described as a building 'sculptured in the green', the new Sky Precinct features lush landscaped balconies matched with a ground-level tropical oasis of water, shaded enclaves and grassed areas, with 60 per cent of the 5,400sqm site, fronting Waterfront Park on the Brisbane River in Newstead, dedicated to open space.
Mirvac Queensland Residential General Manager Warwick Bible said the Mirvac team was 'tremendously excited' about the proposal for the Sky Precinct, which was set to follow in the footsteps of the previous landmark stages of Waterfront Newstead - Pier, Park and Unison.
Mr Bible said, "The proposed new building has been designed by the award-winning Mirvac Design team, who have worked hand in hand with landscape architects, RPS."
Mirvac Design’s Design Director, Michael Wiener, described the Sky Precinct as 'a park within a park' with green space providing the canvas for the built form.
Offering one, two and three bedroom apartments, with a limited collection of premium four bedroom residences, the Sky Precinct will boast views of the Brisbane River.
Mr Bible said, "at ground level, the Sky Precinct will boast a wellness centre for residents, complete with a gymnasium and yoga studio overlooking water features and tropical landscaping."
"Further up the building, a resident's lounge and private dining room offer the ideal space for special gatherings with premium finishes and panoramic views of the New Farm reach of the Brisbane River. Atop the building is a 25 metre infinity edge pool with views to the city and river, alongside a spa and barbeque terrace," he added.
Mr Bible said Mirvac's vision for the Sky Precinct was created following engagement with the local community.
The Sky Precinct, located at 58 Skyring Terrace, is being developed in-line with the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan.
