Lendlease Australia CEO Dale Connor managed to have Treasurer Dr Jim Chalmers help break the ground and commence the building of Exhibition Quarter, Lendlease and QuadReal Property Group’s first Build to Rent residential apartment building at Brisbane Showgrounds, QLD.
The 37-storey tower will feature 443 residences in a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Exhibition Quarter will include a 25m lap pool, gym, outdoor spa, yoga room as well as podcast and music recording studios, BBQ pavilion, co-working amenities, dog wash facilities and resident lounges.
Residents will also have access to a 24-hour first class concierge service, as well as 225 car parks and 471 bike spaces on the podium level.
Exhibition Quarter will be fully electric with no gas, enabling it to be 100% powered by renewable electricity, and will target a 5 Star Green Star Buildings Version 1 rating.
Lendlease has been building Build to Rent towers overseas since 2019. Exhibition Quarter is its first in Australia.
