The Old Albion Mill Is Set to Become a New Urban Hub

Hanging out at the old Albion flour mill isn't really something anyone in Brisbane does — yet. Fast forward a few years, and heading to the Albion Mill Village for something to eat, a spot of shopping and a game of table tennis might just be a common occurrence.

That's the plan anyway, and one that a just-approved $400-million development is keen to put into action. Two new 20-storey buildings will help transform the Hudson Street site into an urban hub, which is exactly the boost the area needs. Those with good memories might recall that the historic mill was demolished in late 2013 after a devastating fire engulfed the landmark.

Architects Elenberg Fraser have been entrusted with the design, so if you like what they're doing with Fortitude Valley's Night Edge development, then you're in luck. Plus, if you happen to have the dosh to buy one of the 633 units that'll be part of the new towers, you'll have access to one of the coolest of perks imaginable: an outdoor cinema that can be enjoyed from the splashy confines of one of the complex's infinity pools. If that's not enough motivation to start saving, then we don't know what is.
