The CFMEU’s Nettleton Tribe-designed Brisbane development has been given the go-ahead by building authorities to commence construction.
The union turned developer is now poised to enter the build-to-rent sector after it put forward plans for a 29,000 square metre apartment complex across an amalgamated site at 19-25 Campbell Street in Brisbane’s CBD fringe.
The CFMEU acquired the site, which sits in a priority development zone in Bowen Hills, for $17 million back in 2020. A development application for the 30-storey building was lodged in June 2021.
The proposal indicates plans for a vegetable garden, a boules court, indoor and outdoor gyms, terraces and alternating gardens and balconies between floors.

Nettleton Tribe said it designed the building as a tower-on-podium form, with residential uses contained within the lower levels and retail uses incorporated on the ground.
“The use of concrete, glass, and bronze metal on the ground level are intended to create a strong base while maintaining a level of transparency with aesthetic details,” the practice said.
“Concrete, landscaping, bronze perforated sheet metal, and breezeblocks create a singular banded facade language to the podium levels along the three street frontages.”
The project site fronts Campbell, Hazelmount and Edgar Streets, with the podium edges designed to act as contours that “meader” around the street edge, moving in and out to create vertical space for street tree canopies to fill out.
Approval has been granted for 380 appartments instead of the proposed 377, with a combination of studio units and single and multi-bedroom apartments.
Amenities will also include co-working spaces, a private residents’ lounge, a pool and outdoor dining facilities.
The proposal indicates plans for a vegetable garden, a boules court, indoor and outdoor gyms, terraces and alternating gardens and balconies between floors.
The podium edges are designed to act as additional layers of site contours.

In its design statement, architect Nettleton Tribe said would emphasize the direct line connecting the Bowen Hills Rail and the route to Brisbane Exhibition showgrounds by providing a landscaped internal laneway through the site.
