Also, the hotel seems to be half built over the expressway... and another ped link bridge..

Building Description
The tower structure comprises a central concrete core
and concrete filled steel columns. The columns start
at seed points at the base and grow in a semi random
pattern up the building. The tower facade is a flush
clear skin which will enhance views and express the
internal steel columns when viewed from the outside.

The tower is being built over an existing basement.
Several of the columns from the ‘seed points’ will pass
through the existing basement. The other side of the
tower will be constructed over a basement which will
be excavated and constructed in a top-down manner.

High performance glazing combined with internally
fixed chilled louvers and automated reflective blinds
will decrease energy use and increase daylight
penetration without the need for external shading
devices. The suggested system coupled with an
efficient mechanical system (chilled beams and fresh
air supply) will help to achieve the desired 5 star ABGR
and Green Star targets.

What I notice:




- The proposed plans include to connect Fig Tree Plaza to the riverside by scraping the current road running to the left of the Plaza.

(Forecourt Potential: the CBD master plan
proposes to link Fig Tree Island with the plaza area
of the proposed building, Riverside Centre and
Riparian Plaza. While this is not proposed as part
of the development the proposal will not obstruct
this proposal. Preliminary discussions have been
held with Brisbane City Council in relation to this
proposal)


- Height 47 Storeys – 44 levels
RL 183.20m AHD to top of Level 44
RL 190.70m AHD to top of Plant (Level 2)
Total Height: 197.050 metres AHD


Eagle Street Pier (250m+)

Will be interesting to see how true this prediction is!

Get set for new housing boom

BRISBANE looks set for a fresh housing boom, with prices tipped to soar 22 per cent in the next three years.

And the entire southeast looks set to follow, with a key report predicting the region's price growth will outstrip the rest of the nation.

The BIS Shrapnel Residential Property Prospects Report 2001 to 2010 says Brisbane's market will grow by 5 per cent in the next financial year, before hitting its straps in the 2009-2010 financial year.

Report author Angie Zigomanis said the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast markets were also on the rise, but not at the same rapid rate as Brisbane.

Gold Coast prices are forecast to rise 16 per cent over the next three years, while the Sunshine Coast will rise by 15 per cent over the same period.

Mr Zigomanis said while Perth had given Brisbane a run for its money in recent times, the West Australian capital was now slowing.

Melbourne is tipped to achieve strong growth of 18 per cent, while Canberra (15) and Adelaide (16) are predicted to show some modest growth.

Perth and Darwin are tipped to begin to pull back as affordability becomes a major issue.

Mr Zigomanis said an easing of the resources boom would not affect Brisbane's price growth as much as Perth's because southeast Queensland's economy was more diverse.

"We have, I guess, seen the early stages of the pick-up coming through in the last six to 12 months in Brisbane," he said.

Sydney's price growth over the three years was forecast at just 8 per cent.

Brisbane's growth is underpinned by several factors, including underlying demand, more attractive affordability compared with other states, and strong economic conditions.

Mr Zigomanis said low vacancy rates and solid rental growth would attract more investors back into the market to compete with owner occupiers.

Prices will be pushed up as owner occupiers and investors compete for the same properties.

High employment growth in Brisbane had also made buyers more confident about investing in residential property.

The report forecast a slowing of the frantic price growth in North Queensland, but Townsville (17 per cent) and Cairns (16 per cent) would still achieve respectable rises.
