m

Brisbane Skytower is a 274.3-metre (900 ft) skyscraper at 222 Margaret Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The 90-storey residential tower was the third tallest building in Australia at the time of its completion and is currently Brisbane's tallest building, the tallest building in Queensland to roof and the fifth tallest building in Australia. It is also the first skyscraper in Australia to be built on an equilateral triangle footprint, the first building in the world to be built with a height adjustable tower crane and the largest residential building in the Southern Hemisphere with a gross floor area of 147,000 square metres. Brisbane Skytower is one of two buildings in the 111+222 development; the other being a 42-storey, five-star Westin hotel at 111 Mary Street which was sold in September 2015 to the Felicity Hotel Group and now known as Mary Lane. The residential tower includes 1,141 one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as sub-penthouse and penthouse apartments. A recreation deck, on the 90th floor, features Australia's highest infinity-edge swimming pool. An eight-level basement car park is included in the project, containing a total of 980 spaces. The project was developed by Billbergia and AMP Capital with US funds giant Invesco providing debt funding.
