Award-winning luxury developer Kokoda Property has received a decision of approval for its $1.5b Skyring Terrace project – the largest private development in Brisbane. This project will bring a brand new, mixed-use global destination that represents the next evolution for Brisbane City by reinstating the riverbank for the future of Teneriffe.
Located at 17-27 Skyring Terrace, the 17,612 sqm project will feature five distinct, slender buildings that will become home to over 200 luxury residences, lofts and penthouses and the first The Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants is an international 5-star luxury hotel in Brisbane, including an expansive commercial offering including over 4,800 sqm of absolute waterfront dining and retail, and a redeveloped, purpose-built Community Hub.
To bring this new and unique global destination to life, Kokoda collaborated with partners Carr, Cottee Parker Architects and Urbis Town Planning and Landscaping.
The project’s architecture draws inspiration from Teneriffe’s iconic brick woolstores and structural remnants of the suburb's river industries, and was designed with the subtropical Queensland climate in mind, maximising opportunities for outdoor and semi-outdoor active spaces.
Kokoda Property Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens emphasised the importance of enhancing public accessibility to the Brisbane River as a key motivation for acquiring the Skyring Terrace site.
“Our vision for the project is to reignite the Brisbane riverfront for a new generation, with 9,331 sqm of the Skyring Terrace development dedicated to being open, lush green public spaces with sprawling laneways and a 220m riverwalk extension.”
“With 53 per cent of the site being open, green and for public use, our vision sees this reconnection to the Brisbane River in a unique and creative way,” said Mark.
“What Kokoda Property and our project partners are creating is not just a global destination in Brisbane, we are breathing new life into a currently underserved yet highly coveted piece of land,” said Mark.
Kokoda Property will soon unveil the Skyring Terrace project in greater detail, highlighting the unique blend of heritage and modernity that defines this new globally-inspired waterfront landmark.
