The proposed development, prepared by AEQ Architects, outlined a seven-storey residential building with ground-level and first-floor retail and commercial spaces, earmarked for 608, 612A and 618 Wynnum Rd. The development would deliver 48 residential apartments above a vibrant mix of businesses, designed to meet growing demand for urban living in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs.
The residential mix comprises 28 one-bedroom apartments, 18 two-bedroom apartments and two three-bedroom apartments. Each apartment will feature a private balcony, with sizes ranging from 17.9 square metres to 66.2 sqm.
Residents will also have access to a rooftop communal area of 390 sqm, which will include a swimming pool, landscaped areas, a gym, barbecue facilities and seating, offering a shared recreational space with elevated views.
The ground level and first floor of the building are dedicated to commercial tenancies. These tenancies have been planned to accommodate a variety of uses, including shops, food and drink outlets, office space, health care services and veterinary services. Pedestrian access to these commercial spaces will be available directly from Wynnum Road, promoting walkability and public interaction with the development.
To support both residents and commercial users, the development includes provisions for 112 car parking spaces and 89 bicycle parking spaces.
