First look: Stockwell files for new Vulture Street, West End apartment tower
Brisbane developer Stockwell is planning more apartments in West End.
The developer, who has delivered over 700 apartments in West End alone, has sought to add another 132 more.
They've filed plans to the Brisbane City Council for a 15-level tower on 33 Vulture Street, on the site of the former Queensland Can Factory. The proposal retains two of the 1939 factory facades along Paris and Turin streets.
The apartments will sit above two levels of retail that will activate the Vulture Street frontage. The first floor tenancies have an outdoor balcony which overlooks Vulture Street and are accessed by their own lift and staircase. The residential tower is set back from the character walls and the new brick façade.
Residents will have private access to the rooftop where there will be a 16m infinity pool, adjoining deck with day beds and a sauna, and a spa. The roof will also home several outdoor dining areas and barbecue spaces, as well as a multi-use function space and a gym. The rooftop of the car park levels will have a dog park and a herb garden.
The Design Statement by Mode said the Vulture Street residential façade is split into two distinct elements with a vertical planted break which also allows natural cross ventilation to the residential corridors.
"Each of the two elements of the façade has a different treatment in terms of color and balustrading to provide identity and reduce visual mass," the statement noted, adding that the architectural language and expression of the retail component is derived from the character factory walls and the brick façade of the West End State School.
Stockwell's latest development is in West End. They are currently selling Bankside, 78 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments.
Stockwell, which was founded in the early 1950s as a construction company, are also behind Cremorne on Fish Lane and Croft on Fish Lane, in the popular new precinct in South Brisbane.
