Townsville, Queensland
The proposed 13-storey development marks a formative move by Laing O’Rourke into the North Queensland property market.
Located on a 2619m² parcel of land, the Palmer Street property was purchased by Laing O’Rourke in October 2007. It overlooks the Boat Club Marina, is walking distance to the city’s growing CBD, and has extended views across to Magnetic Island.
The planned 13-storey building comprises one level of underground parking, ground level restaurants and reception, nine levels of serviced apartments, and three upper levels of apartments targeted at the owner occupier market.
FEATURES:
Meeting the high standards expected for this growing waterfront precinct, the Laing O’Rourke development will boast a number of features including:
- 9 levels of serviced apartments
- 3 levels of owner-occupier apartments
- 1 level of underground carparking
- ground level restaurant and retail tenancies, reception and entry for serviced apartments
- alfresco dining
- conference facilities
- resort pool and landscaping for use by serviced apartment occupants.
The owner-occupier apartments will have access to a separate pool and recreation facility for exclusive use of the owners and their guests.
BENEFITS:
Laing O’Rourke is a solid and respected international construction and property entity. The entry of the company as a developer into the North Queensland marketplace will increase its activity in the region and provide a number of benefits for the local communities. The company’s existing building activities already support a strong focus in using locally based consultants, subcontractors and suppliers who will have an ongoing involvement in the company’s local activities.
