The planners at Urbis state, “The proposed development is an important part of the revitalisation of the north quarter precinct. The development involves two iconic gateway towers into the precinct and provides a highly active and publicly accessible ground plane. This will contribute to the creation of an active and vibrant precinct around the new Roma Street Cross River Rail Station, Brisbane Metro Station and Brisbane Live”.

“The proposed development will provide for a new pedestrian arcade through the site connecting May Street to North Quay. This will complete the future pedestrian link from the ‘front door’ of the new Roma Street Station to North Quay and the William Jolly Bridge and Southbank. This will provide significant pedestrian connectivity benefit for the public”.

The proposed development seeks to significantly improve the pedestrian connections around the site by introducing planting and streetscape improvements that create safe and pleasant spaces to traverse. The development also delivers the pedestrian connections that are envisaged in the Roma Street Precinct Renewal Strategy.“

The proposal seeks 66,240sqm of gross floor area, with 3,214sqm (49.9%) in site cover across the 6,436sqm development site.
