A New Era for Brisbane's Riverfront
Brisbane’s iconic Howard Smith Wharves precinct is set to undergo an ambitious redevelopment, bringing a fresh blend of luxury, entertainment, and public spaces to the city's riverside. This proposal includes the addition of a nine-story boutique hotel featuring 77 rooms, an overwater pool, and a state-of-the-art music hall. These upgrades will enhance the precinct’s status as a top-tier leisure destination, combining stunning river views, vibrant dining, and modern architecture.
The hotel aims to cater to both tourists and locals, offering a sophisticated yet immersive experience that complements Brisbane’s unique charm. Other key elements of the redevelopment include expanded public spaces, green areas, and retail hubs, creating a harmonious blend of relaxation and entertainment. Moreover, the addition of sustainable rooftop gardens and energy-efficient designs underscores the city’s commitment to green urban development.
This revitalised precinct will further position Brisbane as a must-visit location, particularly as the city prepares for the 2032 Olympic Games, which will highlight the area’s cultural and natural appeal.
The project is set to transform Howard Smith Wharves into a dynamic, multi-functional hub, where leisure, culture, and community come together.
