A development application has been submitted by Kokoda Property for a three-tower residential and hotel development located on the Riverside Industrial Sands site at 17-27 Skyring Terrace, Teneriffe.
Designed by Cottee Parker, 381 residential apartments are planned between three separate towers, each varying in height, scale and materiality, from 12 to 30 storeys high.
The tallest tower 1 would include eight levels of hotel / short term accommodation. A total of 160 rooms are planned from level 6 to 13.
Kokoda Property, the developer behind Newstead’s Chester & Ella plan to build the development in four stages with stage 1 which comprise of shorter buildings on Skyring Terrace and Commercial Road (tower 3 & 4), with stage 2 (tower 2) followed by stage 3 & 4 (being tower 1).
Tower’s 1 and 2 would be connected by a distinctive sky bridge located on level 14 and offers connection to the hotel VIP lounge located in Tower 2, which is accessed by hotel guests only via the hotel lifts in Tower 1.
Additional hotel amenities on level 14 include a 350m2 day spa and 437m2 restaurant and bar. The hotel, which is yet to be named will also boast a 179m2 Brisbane River facing pool and deck, meeting rooms, three ballrooms with pre-function area and 556m2 outdoor terrace lawn with another lounge on level 5.
A small amount of office space is provided on ground, level 1, 2, 3 & 4, across the buildings while loft style and terrace housing is planned for a building fronting Skyring Tce.
According to planners Urbis, the public realm offering would be immense and represent more than 50% of the site area.
Included in the development is the construction of a new lane which would run off Skyring Terrace called ‘Wool Lane’. The lane will help connect a newly created plaza at the end of Commercial Road where the City Cat terminal is located with Skyring Tce towards Gasworks.
The new riverside public plaza would be approximately 9,023m2 in area and looks over a new 220m riverwalk extension.
The extended riverwalk runs along the entirety of the site’s river frontage and provides a connection and ‘missing link’ between existing constructed sections of the Riverwalk.
Upon completion, the proposed Riverwalk will offer uninterrupted connections to the Teneriffe Ferry Terminal and Teneriffe-New Farm Riverwalk south of the site.
According to the development application, the scale of the project responds to the shortage of residential accommodation in Brisbane and allows significant investment into an extensive public realm, by relocating built form from the ground plane into the proposed towers.
