City heart transformation

Albert Street station will be a catalyst for further mixed-use commercial, retail, and residential development, at the centre of Brisbane’s central business district.

The new underground station will dramatically improve connectivity to the southern end of the city, providing improved public transport access to more places of work, study and recreation.

A Transit-Enabled future

The new second rail path through the core of the South East Queensland rail network will not only deliver five new train stations in convenient locations, the rail corridor also links Brisbane’s two major hospitals and multiple precinct intiatives including Herston Quarter at Exhibition, the Gabba Entertainment Precinct at Woolloongabba, and the Boggo Road Innovation Junction (BRIJ) at Boggo Road.

In total, construction of the new underground line is releasing nearly 7 hectares of prime inner-CBD land, including large scale development opportunities at Roma Street and Albert Street.

As part of Cross River Rail, a new public realm on Albert Street between Elizabeth and Mary streets will realise part of Brisbane City Council’s ‘Green Spine’ vision for Albert Street.

The Green Spine forms part of Council’s Albert Street Vision and is a proposal to transform Albert Street into a tree-lined pedestrianised corridor, running from City Botanic Gardens in the south of the CBD all the way to Roma Street Parklands in the north.

Construction of a new public plaza connecting the Albert Street station main entrance on the corner of Mary Street with a second entrance nearer to Elizabeth Street will make this vision a reality for two whole city blocks.

Precinct Connectivity

As the first CBD train station built in more than 120 years, Albert Street station will become the main public transport access point to the southern parts of the CBD, creating opportunities for a new, vibrant city hub just minutes’ walk from major recreation and business precincts.

Pedestrian movements along the new corridor will be prioritised with wide open spaces designed to cater for the tens of thousands of people who will enter and exit the new train station on a daily basis.

Development status

101 Albert will be a new landmark commercial tower, comprising of A-Grade office accommodation, an enticing public realm, café, restaurant and retail shops. The development will become the front door for the more than 67,000 commuters expected to use Albert Street station every weekday by 2036.

Inspired by Brisbane’s climate and cultural heritage, 101 Albert will set a new standard for high-rise development combining a program that generates vibrant activity at street level while delivering commercial workspace floors above.

101 Albert will revitalise Brisbane’s midtown precinct, sitting at the centre of the Albert St Green Spine connecting city-shaping projects like Waterfront Brisbane, Eagle Street and Queen’s Wharf Brisbane.
