advertising feature Albion Mill Masterplan unveiled The essence of village living is set to be stepped up with the unveiling of the $330 million Albion Mill Masterplan. a design to carefully restore one of Brisbane’s most iconic heritage landmarks, and create a vibrant inner city village, the stunning plan signals a return to the ‘village’ conscience that founded cities in the first place. important in the overall design is the historic flour mill as the centrepiece around which life will revolve, according to fKP’s gary Kordic. “the albion Mill Masterplan is the vision for a dynamic, bustling inner city village; a beacon of modern living, modern transport and modern connectivity, one which completes Brisbane’s village jigsaw,” he said. “London and Paris are cities made up of a rich tapestry of villages; and of course new York City is a patchwork of villages. Brisbane too, is a jigsaw city of villages, and we are committed to ensuring the albion Mill completes the jigsaw, bringing a development with a sense of heart to the inner north. it will be a place people want 38 bmag.com.au i read Brisbane’s Best to visit, a place where people want to live. the Masterplan will be developed over three stages, delivering a community of residential, commercial and retail opportunities bonded together by a network of public spaces including streets, plazas and public transport. More than 2,000sqm of new open public space will be created, to be known as La strada, with the axis carefully aligned to pay homage to the existing historic flour Mill building. a vibrant mix of retail offers will line La strada, featuring a fresh produce market and wine emporium, restaurants, concept bakery and café, boutique stores across fashion, homewares and specialty services. La strada will be a shared zone for pedestrians and vehicles. the street narrows as it moves towards the plaza and the flour Mill building to create a focal point and sense of drama. as the signature building the historic flour Mill building will become home to retail and commercial space, and at the northern most end, a smaller two story iconicstyle building will mark the boundary – home to a flagship restaurant. the Hudson at albion Mill has been launched as stage 1 – a stunningly designed $87million building featuring 134 spacious one, two and three bedroom apartments.
