A development application has been submitted for a 25-story residential tower by Anthony John Group located at 50 McDougall Street, Milton.

Designed by bureau^proberts, the tower has been inspired by the popular Melaleuca Paper Bark tree which is found throughout the Milton area and follows an organic ovular shape floor plate as the building rises.

The irregular shape of the tower, inspired by the organic growth of a tree would also feature green pockets of landscaping throughout as well as a veil that wraps around the building to assist with providing privacy and solar shading.

Consisting of only fifty apartments in total, the tower’s floor plates change configuration from four apartments per plate from levels 3 to 9 to two apartments per floor from levels 10 to 20.

A full level recreation deck is proposed for level 22 which would consist of a pool deck, spa, private dining, gym and steam room which would look out over the CBD. Above the recreation level on 23 and 24 will be a two-level four-bedroom penthouse apartment totalling 344 square meters (internal), 83 square meters (external).

This application supersedes a previously approved development application from 2016 for a 20-story mixed short-term accommodation and residential tower that did not feature any buildings that breathe design initiatives.
