Valley Live – a new proposed development spearheaded by OPD Developers and architects Nettletron Tribe – has been submitted for consideration with the aim of adding a new dimension to the fringe of Fortitude Valley. Looking to offer a range of amenities, Valley Live will feature commercial spaces as well as retail offerings and public spaces for locals to take advantage of. The commercial towers, which have been designed to reduce bulk on Montpelier Road, hug the boundaries of the site. Boasting strong horizontal forms, the towers are primed to offer unbeatable viewing locations towards the city and the plaza below. A podium level wraps around the plaza offering a link between both sides of the development, while also vertical separation between plaza and towers and space for a private landscape deck for tenants.

The proposed retail component will looks to offer space for a mix of cafe and restaurant tenancies across two levels, as well as a potential fresh produce market to cater to all needs. In addition to the food and drink amenities, plans also make space for a retail, cinema and gym in the precinct. The plaza itself is designed to be an eclectic gathering point for the local workforce, with covered and open-air dining, lush plantings and a potential cross-block link providing pedestrian access from Rosetta Street and the Bowen Hills Station.
