Cedar Woods Properties has lodged a revised application for two apartment towers within its Greville community in Wooloowin, increasing the project to 232 apartments.
Upscaled Plans for Greville Precinct
Cedar Woods Properties has submitted updated plans for its 4,178-square-metre Chalk Street site within the 2.5-hectare Greville masterplanned community in Wooloowin. The new proposal outlines two residential towers of 12 and 14 storeys, replacing the previously approved eight-storey limit.
The development, designed by Ellivo Architects, will deliver 232 apartments in one, two, and three-bedroom configurations, set above a shared two-level podium with resident amenities and basement parking.
Building Design and Sustainability
The design integrates with existing Greville townhomes and parkland, balancing low-rise surroundings with the higher-density corridor near Wooloowin station. Both towers will feature landscaped podiums, communal rooftop areas, and deep balconies, using brickwork, precast concrete, and metal cladding for long-term durability.
Sustainability features align with BCC’s Buildings that Breathe framework, incorporating passive ventilation, solar orientation, and deep planting. The project also includes active transport facilities and EV charging readiness.
Project Details and Facilities
The plan includes 68 one-bedroom, 120 two-bedroom, and 44 three-bedroom apartments. Each has a private balcony between 10 and 51 square metres. Communal areas make up 26.43 per cent of the site, including a rooftop pool, BBQ, and green space.
A total of 297 car parks and 290 bicycle bays are proposed, with vehicle access via internal precinct roads instead of Chalk or Bridge Streets.
Greville’s Broader Development Context
The new towers will expand the $300 million Greville masterplan, which has transformed the former Holy Cross Laundry site since 2023. Earlier stages include 84 townhomes and the six-storey Vera Apartments, currently under construction and due for completion between December 2026 and February 2027.
Devcon Building Co. is constructing the townhomes, while Emacen Projects is delivering Vera. The precinct features a recreation area, 4,000-square-metre park, and restored heritage elements.
Outlook for Wooloowin
Positioned five kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD and beside Wooloowin train station, Greville continues to grow as a transport-linked community blending heritage and modern design. The proposed towers represent the final major apartment phase in the precinct, adding further housing options in Brisbane’s inner north.
