A massive 199-apartment residential precinct spanning three towers is set to transform the local landscape of Upper Mt Gravatt following a formal development application for a nearly 7,000-square-metre site on Hertford Street.
A New Chapter for Hertford Street
The proposal involves three separate buildings ranging from two to seven storeys in height, positioned at 30, 34, and 36 Hertford Street. If the plans move forward, the project will replace existing lots with a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom homes.
Tower B is designed to be the largest of the trio with 84 units, while Tower A and Tower C will house 40 and 75 units respectively. This layout aims to distribute the population across the site rather than concentrating everyone into a single high-rise block.
Balancing Density with Nature
Developers have focused on keeping the ground level accessible, with roughly 20 per cent of the total site area dedicated to deep planting and landscaping. While the buildings will cover about 75 per cent of the land, the inclusion of significant greenery is intended to help the project blend into the surrounding neighbourhood.
Residents will also have access to various outdoor areas, including individual rooftop recreation spaces for each tower and a large shared garden located on the central podium level.
Infrastructure and Neighbourhood Fit
To manage the influx of new residents, the plan includes two levels of underground parking providing 370 spaces, with 50 of those specifically set aside for visitors. The planning team from Urbicus has indicated that the scale of the towers fits within the current expectations for the area’s growth and infrastructure.
They suggested that the extra height and size are supported by a genuine need for more housing and economic activity in this part of Brisbane. Access to the entire complex would be managed through a primary entrance on Hertford Street to keep traffic flow organised.
