A development application has been submitted by RG Property for a 15-story residential tower located at 36 Warry Street, Fortitude Valley. The development proposes an integrated ground floor retail plane between the existing heritage buildings of Keating’s Bread Factory and the newly built form.
Comprising of a total of 118 one, two, three and four-bedroom residential apartments, the development would also include a landscaped retail laneway running from Kennigo Street. Designed by Blight Rayner, a rooftop recreation deck is proposed which would include a spa, pool, BBQ area. A gym and yoga terrace is proposed for level one.
According to the development application, the proposal represents an exciting opportunity to repurpose and enhance the existing heritage site into a new lifestyle precinct that borders Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley with a key public benefit of the development is the integration of the heritage place into the heart of the redevelopment, with an integrated historical ground floor plane which has been repurposed as a lifestyle destination.
The siting of the tower has been guided by the existing heritage values and the desire to ensure a compliant side boundary setback into protect the adjoining development potential. According to planners Urbis, the proposed scheme does not alter nor impact upon any of the heritage buildings, and the footings of the proposed building are set well away from any heritage foundations.
