A 42-unit, eight-storey residential development with units dubbed “the townhouses in the sky” will soon rise in Albion.
The news comes following a recent approval granted by the Council to boutique property developer Pyco Group, who is set to develop the 2,114-sqm site located at 8-12 Anstey Street and 16 Lever Street in Albion.
“Nouveau” comprises 42 sub-tropical residential units across eight levels with each unit containing three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open plan living area, kitchen, dining area, and an outdoor balcony/terrace. Units 37 – 42 will have an outdoor private roof terrace.
Designed by DAH Architecture, the “townhouses in the sky” will have two basement levels that can accommodate 95 car parking spaces: 84 resident spaces and 11 visitor spaces. Also, 87 bicycle parking spaces will be provided along with a dedicated bike storage area located at the ground level.
The development will feature arched terraces and a brick foundation with a landscaped communal open space at ground level and on the roof with a total of 200sqm and will include seating areas, outdoor dining, and a pool.
“The proposed development has been designed to respond to Brisbane’s subtropical climate and lifestyle. All units benefit from being oriented to the street frontages and well-proportioned living areas and private open spaces that create an indoor/outdoor living space and maximise access to natural light and ventilation. The development also includes naturally ventilated foyers,” the assessment report noted.
With a portfolio of developments in West End, Chermside, New Market, and Cannon Hills, the developers are targeting downsizers and professionals for their Albion project.
Pyco Group also has a project underway in West End called “The Bailey” which comprises 26 boutique apartment units as well as other upcoming developments on Vulture Street; 36-residence, two-storey townhouses also in West End; and 2-storey maisonette homes in Sydney.
