|  Approved» Southpoint Redevelopment - Southbank (18F/Hotel, Cinema, Office)  Quote:
  An artist's impression of part of the proposed $650 million South Bank development, which will include a hotel, cinemas and office and retail space. $650m facelift for South Bank November 13, 2007 - 2:13PM | link A $650 million development proposed for Brisbane's South Bank will blend heritage and contemporary design with "stunning" results, Queensland Premier Anna Bligh says. The Southpoint development is proposed for the site bounded by Vulture, Grey and Tribune streets and South Bank railway station. It will use the heritage-listed Collins Place as the entrance to a 144-room hotel, adjoining residential, office and retail space. An arthouse cinema and supermarket are also proposed. Ms Bligh said the development would be accessible by bus and rail. "Major developments based around major transport hubs like busways and train stations are an important part of planning for Brisbane," Ms Bligh told reporters in Brisbane today. "As we see more people wanting to live near where they work in the city, we need to make sure that they are near public transport so we don't contribute to further urban congestion." Ms Bligh said blending old and new buildings was a challenge, but could be done successfully. "We will see an architecturally stunning combination of very modern, and some of Queensland's oldest, architecture," she said. Ms Bligh said she expected Southpoint to be built around the same time as Northbank - a development proposed for the opposite side of Brisbane River. After public consultation, the government is in discussions with Northbank's developer, Multiplex, and expects to release plans soon. Southpoint is proposed by the Anthony John Group, best known for the Emporium building in Fortitude Valley. It will create 1,000 jobs in construction, and employ 3,000 people on completion. >>>> Youtube Video Fly through <<<< Last edited by SoulVision; 27th June 2008 at 04:15.. | ||||||||||||

|  Thanks for those Ladyjove!I think its a nice blend of old and new, and by using that old Collins Place building as an entryway to the Hotel is a fantastic idea! It would get more use too!  | |||||||||||

| There are offices just behind this that the developer was trying to buy out, s to extend this project over the entire area. but becasue 1 out of the 11 didn;t want to sell no one got brought out. They were being offered good money too. That render seems to depict that the offices on the corner are now sold though. so maybe the Anthony John Group were successful in the end. | |||||||||||
