Development application wrap: What happened in Brisbane's off the plan apartment development market in July
July was a busy month for new apartment developments in Brisbane, as the apartment development pipeline continues to pad out ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
One of the most significant development applications came from veteran apartment developer Morris Property Group, who have sought to change their approved office tower development to apartments.
We've put together a list of development movements Brisbane's off the plan apartment market in July.
Forest-laden apartments set for Hamilton's riverfront
Architecture firm Myers Ellyett says living in subtropical Brisbane is an experience of living on a verandah. They say being half indoor, and half out, is a life that embraces living with gardens and greenery.
That was their design inspiration for the newest apartment development plans filed in Brisbane, a 14-level tower on a prime site at 92 Kingsford Smith Drive in Hamilton.
The project will have 62 apartments, a mix of two and three-bedroom units. It will be crowned with a 1,048 sqm rooftop with swimming pool and spa, gym with sauna and yoga lawn, private dining room, wine room, and barbecue area.

Morris Property Group swap Eagle Terrace office tower for apartments
Veteran developer Barry Morris has reacted to Brisbane's award of the 2032 Summer Olympic Games by once again pivoting plans for his prime Brisbane CBD site.
Having previously planned an apartment tower, and then pivoting to a $250 million commercial tower, Morris Property Group is now seeking to develop a 33-level residential tower at 19 Eagle Terrace.
The tower will have 179 units, a podium amenity level, and food and beverage tenancies.
Rare apartment development planned for Paddington
A striking bureau^proberts-designed development in Brisbane's Paddington is set to test the height limits in the affluent suburb near Suncorp.
The small-scale development at 298 Given Terrace is seeking to push the neighbourhood plan limit by one level, having made amends to the designs following a pre-lodgement council meeting back in late 2021.
The meeting minutes from a meeting held in late December stated the four-level, 12.5-metre proposal exceeds the acceptable outcome for building height in the neighbourhood plan, which is two levels and 9.5 metres.

L'Amour to deliver owner-occupier apartments to Albion
New plans have been filed for an apartment development in Brisbane's Albion, seeking to bring some much-needed owner-occupier stock to the inner north-eastern suburb.
The unknown developer, originating from China, is wanting to push the building height past what's permissible on the 809 sqm site at 417 Sandgate Road, acquired last year for $1,932,500.
The Assessment Report by DTS Group said the pursuing of the uplift is based on "strong urban design merit supported by significant evaluation of the site characteristics and context and planning parameters."
