“The proposed mix of dwelling typologies and sizes with contribute to further diversification of housing stock in the local area and will support housing choice,” the project consultant Urbis noted in their planning documentation.
The proposal has been designed to embody subtropical design principles, including taking advantageous of Brisbane’s enviable climate, extensive provision of landscaping throughout the development, providing open spaces which encourages indoor-outdoor living, and striking an appropriate balance between solar access and protection.
Located on the corner of Crosby Road and Burdett Street, the Albion site amasses nearly 2,700 sqm, with the residences taking up 1,562 sqm of the site.
A welcoming, highly-landscaped entry with sub-tropical planting by Dunn + Moran Landscape Architects and a residential courtyard, addressing Burdett Street and the Crosby Road frontage.
Each residence is provided with a private open space, with the upper levels benefiting from balconies, and the ground level dwellings with courtyards, complimented by lush subtropical planting.

The eight-storey tower is crowned by an activated rooftop level, that allows residents to enjoy Brisbane’s subtropical climate and benefit from amenities including a sundeck/lounge, daybed area, and a pool.
“The proposed design has taken a sensitive approach in respecting the industrial heritage significance of the existing site. The distinct angular roof form and brick palette of the existing industrial building have been reflected in the proposal by incorporating brick feature walls and overclad elements along the street frontage within the planting areas.”
The area is well serviced by public transport, parkland, and retail.
