One of the challenges of building in Brisbane’s inner-city suburbs is that there’s not a lot of room to spread out. New buildings almost always cover their complete site area so until the ground floor is completed (and earthworks and basements can take months) builders are forced to take over footpaths and sometimes even whole lanes of their adjoining streets.
There’s currently a number of local construction sites with orange-vested people out the front. Slowing us down, directing us around and turning us back. Merivale Street is one of South Brisbane’s busiest roads, as the east-bound off-ramp from the Go Between Bridge. So the workers on “Station 16″ apartments (pictured) have a lot of traffic to contend with and 2 lanes get pushed back to 1. It’s annoying for everyone but impossible to avoid.

South Brisbane is a happening place. I snapped this crane on the way past the new Station 16 Apartments in Merivale St this morning, and this is just one of a number of projects underway in the suburb right now. Cranes are also towering over new apartment at the southern end of Cordelia Street and the apartment building for Common Ground Queensland in Hope Street.
Residential projects are also in early stages in Peel and Russell Streets along with the long-awaited South Point next to South Bank Rail. Add in the massive works on the Convention Centre expansion (due for compeltion this year) and the new ABC headquarters, both on Grey Street, and the new Children’s Hospital, and we’ve probably not seen this extent of works for many years.
It’s exciting stuff for South Brisbane property owners.
