The application to develop 11 stories worth of mixed-use buildings at 12 Kyabra Street has been submitted by TikTokThree Pty Ltd.
With its striking looks and eco-friendly credentials, the proposed development design by Cottee Parker Architects aims to create a sustainable building made of Cross-Laminated Timber that offers future residents an experience worth remembering while they’re living in it.
According to Cottee Parker Architects, this building will function as a “key address” for small business owners in Newstead and give them an opportunity they never had before.
