Pubs giant Endeavour Group has lodged plans for a 30-storey apartment and hotel tower above the heritage-listed Morrison Hotel in inner-city Brisbane, which it hopes to have built before the 2032 Olympic Games.

The Brisbane plan is just one of several major development applications Endeavour will lodge this year for projects across Sydney and Melbourne, as it seeks to make the most of its $1 billion retail and hospitality portfolio. Many of its properties sit on large parcels of land in prized locations, ripe for development.
