Following it's reveal in 2022, Vicinity received approval from Brisbane City Council for a 105,000 sqm city-shaping development that will transform Buranda Village into a modern, mixed-use precinct for the local community to live, work, shop and play.

Designed in consultation with a leading local architecture provider, the new Buranda Village will employ an architecture that is best suited to the Southeast Queensland climate while providing an abundance of landscaped public realm space for residents, shoppers and workers to enjoy.

Vicinity's commitment to sustainability is evident in its plans for Buranda Village with the project targeting a 5-Star Green Star 5-star NABERS energy rating, while also achieving carbon neutrality for the retail common areas.   

The sustainability focus is extended into the design of customer experience, from sustainable, green travel via e-bikes and EV charging stations, to the use of subtropical landscaping and outdoor community spaces to reduce heat impacts.  

Expected to begin construction in early 2024, the plan will deliver significant economic benefit, creating close to 580 jobs during the construction phase and more than 3,200 jobs long-term.

Buranda Village has served its local community for almost 50 years and will now be redeveloped to better suit future customer needs.

Vicinity's plans for Buranda Village's retail precinct will replace the current shopping centre with a new laneway-based, open-air retail and dining village complemented by beautifully landscaped public spaces.

The new 8,200 sqm retail and dining village will feature a selection of carefully curated brands and provide dedicated parking solutions for customers.

New to Buranda Village will be approximately 600 apartments spread across four buildings.

A mix of one, two, and three-bedroom floor plans, Buranda Village's residential spaces will cater for a diverse cohort of future residents while providing unparalleled amenity with the retail precinct directly below.

Located just 5 kilometers south from Brisbane CBD and a stone's throw from the Princess Alexandra Hospital and Boggo Road Research and Innovation Precinct, Buranda Village's residential spaces offer a convenient and well-located base for local workers to live.

Located next to the Princess Alexandra Hospital and Boggo Road Research and Innovation Precinct and with a growing list of transport options to the nearby Brisbane CBD, Buranda Village offers a unique and convenient workspace solution for a variety of businesses.

The redevelopment proposal includes approximately 50,000 sqm of commercial office space spread across three buildings. Maintaining Vicinity's commitment to Sustainability, the A-Grade commercial space is targeting a 5-Star Green Star rating and will include state-of-the-art End of Trip facilities to encourage sustainable commuting.
