500 George Street, Residential skyscraper in Brisbane, Australia
500 George Street is a proposed residential skyscraper at 500 George Street in Brisbane, Australia. Its 144 serviced apartments and student accommodation occupy levels 8 to 25, with 248 one- and two-bedroom apartments from level 26 to 56 and a full-floor residents' sky pool and terrace on level 58. The historic King George Chambers building at the front of the site is retained as the foyer and main pedestrian entrance.
The project retains the historic King George Chambers building at the front of the site, using it as the tower's foyer and main pedestrian entrance. The development application for the tower was lodged with Brisbane City Council in June 2015. The tower itself is proposed, not built.
The tower's lower levels, from 8 to 25, are given over to 144 serviced apartments and student accommodation, while levels 26 to 56 hold 248 one- and two-bedroom apartments. The historic King George Chambers building at the front of the site is kept as the foyer and main pedestrian entrance, so residents pass through the older facade to reach the new floors.
The site sits at 500 George Street in Brisbane's central business district, with the historic King George Chambers building kept at the front as the tower's foyer and main pedestrian entrance.

The tower's sky pool and terrace occupy an entire floor, level 58, above the 248 apartments on levels 26 to 56. Below them, levels 8 to 25 hold 144 serviced apartments and student accommodation. The development application reached Brisbane City Council in June 2015.
