The subject site is on a 2365sqm corner site spanning four lots at 4, 6 and 8 Bailey Street and 10 Kurilpa Street. It’s currently occupied by warehouse buildings which will be removed once the application is given the green light. 

It would have a rooftop communal space, which would have a swimming pool, barbecue, recreational areas and pergola. 

Designed by MODE Design, the plan incorporates Buildings that Breathe principles, with landscaping and deep planting zones proposed “to ensure the interface contributes to an attractive streetscape.”

It would also feature two levels of basement car parking which will accommodate 138 car parking spaces including 12 visitor parking. 

The DA highlighted that residents of the proposed building will benefit from the ferry services, given the proposed ferry terminal at Victoria St. 

“The proposed development is an appropriate density and mix of dwelling types to achieve the dwelling targets to accommodate the future population for Brisbane City under the Regional Plan,” said planners at RPS.

Stockwell has a number of established properties in West End, such as Riverpoint, which was completed in 2016, Muse (completed 2018), and Virtuoso the River (completed 2019).

The company has many residential projects across Brisbane, including apartments along Fish Lane and Dutton Park. They are also behind the controversial Boggo Road Gaol development, which was granted approval in 2021.

The new West End development will be one of their projects for 2022 along with another one in Noosaville.

Stockwell Buys Bailey Street Property for Future Residential Development

A well-established developer of several apartment buildings in West End has acquired another property on Bailey Street for its future residential development plans. Stockwell now owns the 2,347 square metre industrial block that also provides access to Kurilpa Street and Tondara Lane.



Mark Stockwell, the company’s founder, negotiated with the investor who owned the property since the 1980s through Jones Lang Lasalle. After closing the deal in August 2021, Mr Stockwell said that this latest asset will allow his company to serve more retirees, downsizers, and young families or first homeowners with the construction of another apartment complex.

Development plans for 8 Bailey Street have not yet been filed with Brisbane City Council but since 1997, Stockwell has been transforming former industrial sites into sought-after residential and commercial properties.

The developer completed its first West End project in 2003 with the Regatta Apartments on Kurilpa Street.

To date, the company has built over 14 residential apartments in West End, including the upcoming Ferry Road apartments in conjunction with 3P Projects, the Muse with its twin boutique buildings in Tondara Lane, and the Riverpoint in Forbes Street.

Stockwell started as a Queensland construction company in the 1950s. Founded by William and Necia Stockwell and Tom and Norma Rumley, the cross-generational business prospered for decades as its partnered with local businesses for developments, leasing, property funds, and retail management.



Aside from its West End core projects, the company’s current projects include lifestyle and residential projects in South Brisbane, Dutton Park, Bribie Island, and Agnes Water.
