A development application has been lodged for a residential building in Toowong, proposing a 15-storey mixed-use tower at 22–24 Sylvan Road and Landsborough Terrace.
Prominent Toowong Site Set for Change
A residential-led development has been proposed for a site spanning 22–24 Sylvan Road and part of Landsborough Terrace in Toowong. The project centres on a 15-storey building designed to respond to its three-street frontage and the area’s established mixed-use setting.
The proposal includes a total of 88 apartments, made up of 11 one-bedroom, 44 two-bedroom and 33 three-bedroom dwellings. Ground-level uses are incorporated to support activity along both Sylvan Road and Landsborough Terrace.
Podium Design Addresses Site Conditions
The development features a four-level podium forming the base of the building, accommodating parking and active frontages. This design responds to flood-affected conditions while maintaining open and accessible ground-level areas.
Above the podium, 11 levels are dedicated to residential use. The building includes screening elements and horizontal articulation to integrate the podium and tower into a cohesive structure.
Landscaping is distributed across the site, including ground, podium and rooftop levels, accounting for 37.6 per cent of the total area. The ground level is designed to remain largely open, allowing for pedestrian access through the site.
Street-Level Retail and Access Arrangements
The ground floor includes approximately 272 square metres of space allocated for shop and food and drink uses, supporting street activity within the precinct.
Vehicle access is provided via Landsborough Terrace, with two entry points. A total of 165 car parking spaces is proposed, including 150 for residents, 14 for visitors and one for commercial use. Bicycle parking is also included, with 38 spaces planned.
Rooftop Amenities for Shared Use
A communal rooftop area is proposed as part of the development, covering 563 square metres. The space includes a range of shared facilities such as a pool, spa, plunge pools, barbecue and dining areas, along with lounge and wellness spaces.
These amenities are intended to support shared use among residents and provide spaces for recreation and social interaction.
Application Progress Continues
The application seeks approval for building work and a material change of use, covering multiple uses including residential dwellings, retail, office space and short-term accommodation.
The site is located within a medium density residential zone and the Toowong–Auchenflower precinct. The application remains in progress, with assessment stages ongoing.
