Brisbane’s skyline is set to be reshaped, with construction of three huge new towers in South Brisbane given the go ahead.
The largest of the trio is set to be taller than any existing building outside the CBD, and the seventh-biggest in the city outright.
Covering 7300 square metres, the sprawling development will include 678 apartments, 216 hotel rooms, more than 2000 square metres of retail space and public gardens with an amphitheatre.

Two heritage-listed buildings – the former Bonds Sweet Factory, currently an EF International Language campus and Malouf’s Fruit Shop, currently the West End Garden restaurant – are on the block, which also backs onto the Expo ’88 Skyneedle.

A 205-metre 50-storey tower, 144.8-metre 40-storey tower, and 94.2-metre 24-storey tower are planned, fronting Manning, Melbourne and Edmondstone streets near Musgrave Park.
Across its hotel and private areas, the development will include several pools, a commercial gym, restaurants, a bar, private dining rooms, outdoor barbeque areas, function rooms and underground parking.
