Luxury tower with 161 units planned for South Brisbane

TRK Property Group's $20 million development will add 161 apartments to a booming inner-city area.

A 20-storey tower is planned for Montague Road in South Brisbane. The tower will have 161 apartments of various sizes.

The developer bought the site for $20 million. Plans include a rooftop pool, spa, dining and gardens.

Across the road, Lendlease is rebuilding the Visy site. It will have over 4000 apartments and public waterfront spaces.

Building height and growth worry residents and school officials. West End State School's Parents and Citizens group plans to appeal approval of a separate tower.

It says classrooms are already overcrowded. Services have not kept up with growth.
