Connecting South Bank and Queen’s Wharf Brisbane via a Grimshaw beautifully designed pedestrian bridge further enhances the connectivity of Brisbane’s CBD and its key surrounding features. Destination Brisbane Consortium has already appointed an independent panel of Queensland art community representatives that will select artwork to be featured throughout the precinct’s public spaces. The tower features 667 premium one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, accessed via a dedicated lobby and in-house concierge at 8 Margaret Street. YPM Group Managing Director Bryce O’Connor says Queen’s Wharf Residences represents more than just a place to live; it is a lifestyle unlike anything Brisbane has seen.
