What's happening
A new proposal for Kangaroo Point aims to bring larger, family-sized apartments to inner Brisbane. Plans for a nine-storey building at 16 Hamilton Street, opposite CT White Park, were received by Brisbane City Council on 1 October 2026.
The applicant, Feel-J Properties, is seeking a development permit for 13 apartments designed by Bureau Proberts. Every apartment would have at least three bedrooms, offering an apartment alternative for households that might otherwise look for a house.
The key details
The 756 square metre site would hold around 2,752 square metres of gross floor area.
- Eleven half-floor three-bedroom apartments on levels 2 to 7
- Two full-floor four-bedroom apartments on levels 8 and 9
- Rooftop garden with pool, deck, barbecue and dining area, about 296 square metres of communal open space
- 28 car parks (27 resident, 1 visitor) and a bike space inside each apartment
- Glazing on at least three sides of each apartment, with operable screens
The application (A007125076) is for a material change of use for multiple dwellings and is impact assessable. The project value was not disclosed.
The landscape plan by Wild Studio includes about 745 square metres of planting, including a deep planting zone along the southern boundary, and wave-shaped balcony edges with planter boxes on every level. Bureau Proberts' urban design report says the building responds to the contrast between the Story Bridge and Kangaroo Point cliffs and the river setting. The consultant team also includes Sinclair Planning, Colliers, Robert Bird Group and heritage adviser Ruth Woods.
Timeline and next steps
As an impact assessable application, the proposal will go through public notification, giving residents the chance to make submissions before council decides. Council may also request further information. No construction timeline has been published.
What it means for Gold Coast property owners and developers
The proposal reflects interest in apartments designed as genuine alternatives to houses, with more bedrooms, larger floorplates and generous outdoor space. The same idea of fewer, larger homes in well-located pockets is relevant to boutique projects on the Gold Coast.
Smaller-scale projects of this kind can add supply without the heights and yields of major towers, although they still face notification and assessment risk. Developers watching the outcome may get a useful read on how Brisbane City Council treats boutique family apartments. This is general information, not financial advice.
