Vision Brisbane

Vision Brisbane, Skyscraper in Brisbane, Australia

Vision Brisbane was a planned 283-metre, 72-storey skyscraper in Brisbane, designed by the Buchan Group with a curved blue-glass facade wrapped in horizontal metal fins. It was never built; the site now holds the Brisbane Skytower, completed in 2019.

Vision Brisbane was approved in early December 2006 and on-site construction began in September 2007, with completion expected in late 2009 to early 2010. Funding problems and the 2008 financial crisis halted work, and the seven-level excavation flooded during the January 2011 Brisbane flood. The site was sold to Bilbergia, whose two-tower 111+222 scheme was approved in November 2011; the Brisbane Skytower there was completed in 2019.

Vision's Plaza was planned as a mid-block pedestrian link between Mary Street and Margaret Street, with water features and several commissioned artworks. The retail space in the main tower totalled 7,390 square metres, and the Russian-language source lists a coffee shop, bar, wine cellar, newsagent and health centre among the proposed tenants. None of it was built; the site was later redeveloped as 111+222.

Vision Brisbane was never built, so there is no observation deck to visit. Construction began in September 2007 but stopped over funding issues and the 2008 financial crisis, leaving a seven-level excavation that filled with floodwater in January 2011. The site, between Mary Street and Margaret Street, was later redeveloped; the Brisbane Skytower, completed in 2019, now stands there.

Vision Brisbane was never built: after work began in 2007, funding problems and the 2008 financial crisis halted it, and the seven-level excavation filled with floodwater in January 2011. The site was sold and the 111+222 scheme replaced the design; the Brisbane Skytower there was completed in 2019.
