Luxury Brisbane hotel reopens with new owners and a new name
Now branded InterContinental Brisbane, the hotel opened to guests on Tuesday.
The building at 190 Elizabeth Street, which backs on to Queen Street Mall, was designed by architect Harry Seidler and opened in 1987.
Across 25 floors, it comprises 319 hotel rooms, 19 meeting rooms, a ballroom, an outdoor lap pool and a gym.
The InterContinental website says stays now start at about $320 a night, with the most expensive suites in excess of $550.
'We are incredibly proud to now have a footprint in one of Australia's most dynamic and fast-growing cities,' manager Shaun Parsons said in a statement.
'To be part of Brisbane's transformation ahead of the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics is a privilege.'
The hotel is earmarked for a complete restoration – expected to take about two years – from 2026 as part of a wider upgrade of the Wintergarden complex, which is overseen by ISPT.

Brisbane 2032 powers ahead with mega venue funding deal
Brisbane's Olympic dream is now a step closer to reality, with billions in federal funds secured to fast-track critical Games infrastructure. A landmark funding agreement between the Australian and Queensland Governments has officially unlocked $3.4bn in federal contributions. The deal, announced on Thursday, will help deliver the infrastructure needed for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, setting the stage for one of the largest sporting investments in Australian history. The deal confirms a combined $7.1bn Games Venue Infrastructure Program, with both governments now committed to delivering 17 new or upgraded sporting venues across Queensland, including a world-class 63,000-seat main stadium at Victoria Park and a National Aquatic Centre. These venues will form the heart of the Games precinct and serve as lasting legacy infrastructure well beyond 2032. The Victoria Park stadium, set to host the Games' opening and closing ceremonies as well as athletics events, is designed to become the future home of major sporting teams like the Brisbane Lions, Brisbane Heat, and Queensland Bulls and will be capable of hosting major events such as Test cricket and international concerts. Early site works, including geotechnical and environmental assessments, are already under way, with the Queensland government also working on cultural heritage agreements with First Nations groups. Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie said while efforts were being made to reach an agreement with First Nations groups over the Victoria Park redevelopment, state laws 'will override' if consensus cannot be reached. Procurement for work to begin at four key 'minor venues', the Logan Indoor Sports Centre, Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre, Sunshine Coast Stadium upgrade and an upgrade of Barlow Park in Cairns, was also launched on Thursday. These projects will begin shortly, with the Queensland government promising shovels in the ground and fast-tracked delivery. The updated venue delivery plan replaces Labor's former proposal for a new indoor arena in Brisbane's CBD. Under the LNP government's revised approach, the private sector will deliver an arena at Woolloongabba, while taxpayer funds are redirected to other legacy projects, including a Toowoomba Equestrian Centre, a dedicated para-sport facility, and an expanded Queensland Tennis Centre. Speaking at a conference at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Mr Bleijie said the agreement represented the beginning of a new partnership between state and federal governments to deliver the 'best Games ever'. He confirmed that $5.15bn in state funds had already been allocated in Queensland's latest budget to support the delivery of the venues. Mr Bleijie also addressed recent speculation that a new Olympic Park train station could be built near the new stadium site, stating that while the idea may have been explored in early discussions, no such plan has been formally announced. However, he reaffirmed the government's broader commitment to infrastructure, including upgraded roads and rail networks. 'I'm not ruling anything in and out,' he said. Federal Infrastructure Minister Catherine King said the Games would be a transformative moment for the state, drawing comparisons to the legacy of Sydney 2000 and describing the investment as the largest contribution the Commonwealth has ever made to sporting infrastructure. In addition to Games venues, the federal government has committed $12.4bn to major transport upgrades across Queensland, including the Bruce Highway, faster rail to the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast Direct Rail project. Sport Minister Anika Wells and Queensland's Games Minister Tim Mander also reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring the Games delivered benefits for all Queenslanders, not just in the southeast but statewide. This includes investing in grassroots sporting programs and doubling federal investment in Australia's Paralympians ahead of 2032. Games Infrastructure Authority chairman Stephen Conroy said work was progressing across all 17 authority venues, with significant input from technical experts during the 100-day review. A new chief executive will soon be appointed to oversee the rollout of the delivery program. Mr Bleijie said the government also remained committed to include Rockhampton as the host location for Olympic rowing events. With legislation already passed to exempt Games infrastructure from major planning laws and procurement officially under way, both governments said the path was now clear to deliver a Games that would not only unite the nation but redefine Queensland's sporting and infrastructure landscape for generations to come.

New apartment tower bound for $64m Brisbane site as housing crisis worsens
A major developer has paid $64.5m for a Brisbane riverfront site with plans to build more than 200 apartments at a time when the nation's fastest-growing city is crying out for more housing. It comes as new figures show construction timeframes have ballooned by 58 per cent in Queensland, and the state is still about 100,000 homes short of meeting its share of the 1.2 million national target by 2029. Consolidated Properties Group (CPG) has bought the 9,368 sqm site, featuring 47m of direct river frontage, at 47 Skyring Terrace, Newstead, in an off-market deal from Mirvac Group. MORE: Theme park legend's crypto hideaway hits the market Zac Efron's Aussie long lunch haunt is on the market Zoned for mixed use, the site has potential for up to 42,000 sqm of floor space and a maximum building height of 25 storeys under the Brisbane City Plan. While many private developers are struggling to find a builder to take on their projects, CPG has managed to sign Hutchinson Builders to deliver the apartments. CPG CEO and Chairman Don O'Rorke said the Newstead site offered a rare opportunity to deliver a 'super-premium' luxury residential apartment building in a prime inner-city location. 'Sites like this are as rare as it gets,' Mr O'Rorke said. 'We thought Monarch might be a one-off, but at Newstead we've been fortunate to have the opportunity to create another iconic residential address right in the heart of the city on the Brisbane River. This will be something elevated in every sense — something truly special.' RELATED: National Housing Accord 60,000 new homes short in first year It comes as the federal government's National Housing Accord prepares to mark its first-year anniversary, with the latest ABS figures showing Queensland has only approved 34,301 homes in the past 11 months. Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) analysis of recent ABS data shows, on average, between 2014 and 2024, the time to build a home in Queensland increased from six months in 2014 to more than 10 months in 2024 — a 58 per cent jump, with housing construction material costs also rising by 58 per cent. Brisbane architect Nick Symonds, Director of MAS Architecture Studio, said the demand for high-density housing was high, but the delivery pipeline was struggling to keep pace. 'These aren't townhouses or boutique builds,' Mr Symonds said. 'We're talking about substantial residential projects with hundreds of apartments, and developers can't find a builder willing or able to take them on under current conditions. 'Tier-one contractors have stepped away from major residential developments — not because they lack interest, but because these projects take too long, carry too much risk, and no longer stack up commercially compared to government work.' Mr Symonds said Olympic-related infrastructure and major public works were absorbing much of the available construction workforce. 'The Olympics is creating thousands of jobs, which is great, but it's pulling trades away from residential construction at the worst possible time,' he said. CPG plans to lodge a development application later this year with award-winning architects, Woods Bagot, who are already working on concept plans. CPG head of residential James MacGinley said the development would include a mix of boutique riverfront villas and 2-and 3-bedroom apartments, with north-east views up the river towards Hamilton Hill. 'It is peerless and there is no better development site in Brisbane,' Mr MacGinley said. 'We plan to do it justice and deliver a signature building for the city.' Colliers Queensland residential director Brendan Hogan, who negotiated the offmarket purchase with Troy Linnane, said demand for prestige development opportunities in Brisbane was outpacing supply. 'Opportunities like this simply don't come up anymore. This is the last of its kind on the Newstead waterfront and arguably the best-located residential site in the city,' Mr Hogan said. 'We're seeing exceptional demand in the premium apartment market, with 'off-the-plan' riverfront apartments achieving prices over $35,000 per square metre of net saleable area. 'The surge in apartment prices is largely driven by the demand from owner-occupiers who are seeking premium and larger apartment stock, which has accounted for the majority of sales in the market over the past two years.' The site acquisition reflects broader supply-side pressure in Brisbane's residential pipeline. Population forecasts show Brisbane will grow by more than 500,000 people during the next decade — faster than both Sydney and Melbourne — and inner-Brisbane is expected to face a shortfall of over 14,000 new apartments in the next four years alone, according to SQM Research. 'We know Brisbane is the nation's fastest-growing city with unlimited potential and we're building for that future,' Mr O'Rorke said.

‘Desire paths': Where pedestrians rebel in Brisbane
'We have a bit of a driving culture in our city,' she said. 'As we shift towards the 2032 Olympics and try to get more people moving easily, we're going to have to start getting walking and riding.' Desire paths are a source of fascination for people who like to ponder how a city should work. On Reddit, a community devoted to desire paths takes great delight in highlighting often illogical examples of footpaths that have been subverted by walkers who refuse to be dictated to. Campbell hopes the council will heed the message from walkers as part of the Kedron Brook Vision and Master Plan project. 'This is a classic case where it's underestimated how many people are walking up here from across the creek, from the shopping centre, from across the road, and other local businesses as well,' she said. The Kedron Brook corridor that runs through 14 northern suburbs will be rejuvenated with flood-resilient bikeways and walking trails under the 20-year, $85 million master plan. Campbell pointed to another track worn through the grass outside Q Roasters leading down to a bridge over the creek as an example of urban planners not thinking about how people will actually move when designing footpaths. 'You can see exactly where people are wanting to go,' she said. 'A quick link can make a big difference.' Sometimes, authorities or private business owners try to stop desire paths from forming by using fences to block walkers from crossing where they shouldn't. Elsewhere, locals have to lobby councils to pave the path residents want to take. Campbell pushed Brisbane City Council to put down a stretch of asphalt on the other side of Q Roasters. The additional path has benefited residents like Iesha Moulden, 33, who regularly walks to the coffee shop, pushing her four-month-old daughter Mya in the pram. 'We used to have to walk this when it was grass,' Moulden said. 'This makes it easier. It means we get out for a walk in the fresh air, and I can meet with friends for coffee.' Campbell said this demonstrates that making suburbs better for walkers is also better for business. A 2011 Heart Foundation report found the economic benefits of creating walkable suburbs had been long underestimated. The report's author, Dr Rodney Tolley, concluded that a large proportion of retail expenditure comes from local residents and workers who walk or cycle, whereas those travelling by car are more likely to be 'drive-through' shoppers, stopping to pick up one item on the way to another destination. Loading While the idea of people and animals slowly forming their own paths is an ancient one, the term 'desire path' is often attributed to French philosopher Gaston Bachelard in his 1958 book, The Poetics of Space. The reasons for desire paths forming are not always about finding the fastest way. Along Riverside Drive in West End, pedestrians have created a desire path underneath the shade of the trees, and away from the main route used by cyclists. Planners should heed the lessons offered by desire paths, Campbell said, particularly around the city's green spaces like Kedron Brook. 'By creating connected paths, people can walk with comfort and with ease,' she said. Nearly 40 per cent of journeys in south-east Queensland under one kilometre are made by car or private vehicle, according to the Department of Transport. The 2019 Walking in Queensland Report found only 23 per cent of residents walk 'because it is convenient'. It listed 'lack of suitable paths to destinations' as one of the key reasons, after distance and lack of shade, that more people choose to get in their car rather than walk. Loading Councillor Tracy Davis, Brisbane City Council's chair for environment, parks and sustainability, said designing footpaths was about finding the right balance. 'While desire paths can show where people naturally want to walk, we want to make sure we get the balance right for our community,' she said. 'Over the past year, we've built nearly 30,000 square metres of footpaths.' The community consultation period for the Kedron Brook master plan ended on June 29, with the council now due to review the feedback. The council said connectivity and accessibility would be a strong focus of the final plan.
