The construction boom will keep on booming in Brisbane this year with hundreds of major housing and infrastructure projects about to kick-off or due for completion.

From two huge green bridges to the Cross River Rail and Metro transit projects, a long list of luxury high-rises and even a supermarket where boaties can tie up before a spot of grocery shopping – the city is on track to be transformed.

Work started late last year on the Pikos Group’s Skye apartments, which founder Pedro Pikos billed as “Brisbane’s best building’’.

It will feature top quality stone and wood finishes, Swiss appliances and a jaw-dropping public skydeck with a bar, restaurant and pool 15 floors above one of highest spots in the city.

About $200 million in unit sales have already been inked.

Pikos’ La Storia $350 million, three-tower, 278-unit project at 108 Lambert St is also well progressed, with completion on the first tower, La Storia Una, due by 2024. The 15-level tower will have sweeping views of the Story Bridge and New Farm and an infinity-edge pool. Each apartments would feature timber floorboards, full height cabinetry, custom stone island benches and integrated premium appliances, fixtures and fittings.

Pre-sales have been strong.
