Brisbane Skytower is one of two buildings in the 111+222 development; the other being a 42-storey, five-star Westin hotel at 111 Mary Street which was sold in September 2015 to the Felicity Hotel Group and now known as Mary Lane.[5]
The residential tower includes 1,138 one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as sub-penthouse and penthouse apartments. A recreation deck, on the 90th floor, features Australia's highest infinity-edge swimming pool.[6] An eight-level basement car park is included in the project, containing a total of 980 spaces.[7]
The project was developed by Billbergia and AMP Capital with US funds giant Invesco providing debt funding.
History
Two skyscrapers proposed for the site by the Billbergia Group and AMP Capital with heights of 270 and 131 metres (886 and 430 ft), were approved by Brisbane City Council in October 2014.
Hutchinson Builders were appointed to construct the project in early 2016.[8][9]
In 2017, residents were permitted to begin moving in, before the rest of the building was completed.[2]
Design and location
The building is located in the south of the central business district close to the City Botanic Gardens and Brisbane River. The site was the location for the cancelled Vision Brisbane project.
The structure is designed around an equilateral triangle.[10] It features double-glazed, full height windows and a podium on level Three.[10]
