The national construction firm Descon has been appointed to build Tallis Property Group’s $180 million South Brisbane apartment development, AKIN.
CDI Lawyers was retained by Tallis to draw the construction documentation.
Construction will soon kick off on the 30-storey tower at 35 Merivale Street, with design plans from architecture firm DBI, who has installed some of the most advanced technologies on the market, from number plate and face recognition, to pin code apartment access and home automation.
There will be 190 apartments across the building, with 80 per cent of the apartments on the low and mid-rise levels sold out. The upper floor sky homes will be launched to the market in January 2022.
Two of the levels in AKIN are reserved for residential amenity, which will include a health and wellness centre with heated pool, spa, gym, yoga studio, and steam and sauna rooms, and a business centre with hot desks, lounge and meeting rooms.
The rooftop features private dining rooms and outdoor barbecue and dining spaces, commercial kitchen, wine cellar and cinema.
Work is expected to take around two years, with completion expected for early 2024.
