The designs for The Star Entertainment Group’s new project have been revealed. The $3.6 billion, 71-storey Queen’s Wharf development will feature more than 800 apartments and will tower at over 250 metres.
Destination Brisbane Consortium, which is a joint venture spearheaded by The Star Entertainment Group, Chow Tai Enterprises, and Far East Consortium, awarded the construction of the fifth skyrise in the resort development to leading developer Multiplex in April 2019.
Chris Hinds, the Sales Director of YPM Group, an Australian-based project marketing company, revealed that the apartments would be up for sale in two months.
“We are so excited to announce Queen’s Wharf Tower, the tallest tower in the Queens Wharf Precinct is set to be released in April 2022. Market interest is strong, and we have started connecting with potential buyers who have been registered after missing out on the first time, Queen’s Wharf Residences,” he said.
“Queen’s Wharf Residences is the fastest-selling residential project in Queensland after attracting an unprecedented level of local buyer interest and selling 75 per cent of the 667 apartments within two months,” Hinds concluded.
Exciting Reveals
It has taken seven years for the project to reach this point. The process began when the Echo Entertainment Group (now Star Entertainment) beat Crown Resorts and Greenland Holdings Group to the punch.
The project’s retail component will be headed up by DFS, a luxury brand retailer that intends to construct a three-level Galleria Emporium within Brisbane’s 40,000 square metre shopping precinct.
Once the project is completed, Queensland residents will have access to a new casino, four hotels, and over 50 new bars and eateries, accompanied by more than 2000 residential apartments.
Simon Crooks, Destination Brisbane Consortium’s Project Director, advised that Queen’s Wharf Brisbane will be an impressive addition to the city skyline and that its early 2023 opening is sure to revitalise Brisbane’s CBD.
“With the main integrated resort reaching level 20 in parts, construction has spilled into the public space areas and heritage buildings, many of which will become the locals’ favourite new dining spots. The nine heritage buildings, dated back to the 1800s, are being carefully restored and transformed into new shopping outlets, restaurants and bars as well as spaces for events, entertainment and performance, Crooks commented.
“Further to that, sections of the SkyDeck will be installed mid-year as we start to form Brisbane’s newest and hottest venue in town come 2023,” he added.
