A whole seaside strip could potentially be home to high-rise unit complexes, some as tall as 30m, if a council grants another developer’s wish.

With uninterrupted views over Moreton Bay there is no surprise another developer wants to knock down another low set building on this street north of Brisbane and replace it with a high rise unit complex.

Windsor Development Company Pty Ltd lodged an application with Moreton Bay Regional Council to build a 31m high unit complex at 71-73 Landsborough Ave, Scarborough, north of Brisbane.

It is just one among many applications for high rise unit complexes along the same street.

This application, if approved, will be 10 stories high with 48 three-bedroom units with retail and food and drink outlets on the lower level.

The report says the development would include a “high-quality redesign of the existing ground floor shops”.

It says the redesign would use glass, landscaping and awnings to keep the existing activated and safe streetscape.

The proposed building height of 31.03m is 10m taller than the height limit prescribed in Moreton Bay Regional Council’s Planning Scheme.

It will include 116 car spaces and 60 bicycle spaces.

Traders in Purple are currently working on two unit developments along the same Scarborough road.

Vave Scarborough is under construction by Traders in Purple.

The first, a four-storey development with 50 units at 137-141 Landsborough Ave, called Vavé, is under construction.

The second is a 9-storey tall unit complex at 77-85 Landsborough Ave. This development will include 64 units, a food and drink outlet and swimming pool.
