First look: Tocu Properties file West End apartment plans

Brisbane townhouse developer Tocu Properties is switching it up in West End.

Tocu, who has been developing townhouses across Brisbane's inner-ring suburbs, is moving into the apartment market. They've had Woods Bagot draw up plans for a seven-level apartment development on the corner of Beesley and Filmer streets.

Tocu secured the six-lot amalgamation, totalling 1,648 sqm at 28 Beesley Street, in mid-2022. It was marketed as one of the last remaining infill development sites within the highly sought-after West End precinct.

The proposal is for 42 two and three-bedroom apartments, 30 of which will have an additional multi-purpose room.

Crowning the building will be a 656 sqm rooftop amenity level with an infinity edge pool, hot and cold plunge pools, and open lawn and barbecue areas with views over Brisbane.

The Planning Report by Saunders Havill Group said the project represents an exciting opportunity to enhance the residential offerings in the vibrant West End community, combining luxury living with the convenience of urban life.

"This development aims to cater to the growing demand for residential accommodation in the area, whilst providing a modern and comfortable living environment to suit the needs of its occupants and the community."

There will be 56 resident parking spaces, so every apartment has at least one parking space, and a further three visitor spaces.

Tocu, led by developer Thomas Gray, has created several townhouse developments across Brisbane.

They were behind Fulcher Lane in Red Hill, completed a few years ago, while they are now working on The Archer Residences in Sherwood, 38 three and four-bedroom homes and townhouses at 60 Railway Terrace.
