ICON gets approval for Brisbane's Northshore Hamilton
The mixed-use development, ICON in the Northshore Hamilton precinct in Brisbane’s inner north, has been granted approval by Economic Development Queensland.
The project features 567 residential apartments; a five-star 227-room hotel, retail and restaurant precinct as well as a civic plaza, Hamilton Place.
Approvals were obtained by the private property trust Wentworth Equities.
It is a $650 million luxury mixed-use development will be built on the 7637 square metre site at 19 Hercules Street, which was purchased from Mirvac for $19.8 million.
It sits within Economic Development Queensland’s 304 hectare master planned community, Northshore Hamilton.
Wentworth Equities executive chairman Sameh Ibrahim says ICON will be the jewel in the crown of Australia’s largest waterfront urban renewal project.
Wentworth Equities directors Simon Slavin and Ruven Laps were involved in the transformation of a large industrial waterfront site at Sydney’s Homebush Bay at Fairmead Pty Ltd's bayside community now known as Wentworth Point.
Architectural firm Custance designed the four tower ICON development located seven kilometres from Brisbane Airport and 100 metres from the Brisbane Cruise Ship Terminal.
Custance design director Craig Shelsher said ICON’s design was based on four key principles - water, people, place and connectivity.
