The Sky Deck at Queen’s Wharf – Brisbane

The iconic Sky Deck at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane is nearly complete.

The bridge will be completed in three stages creating a distinctive arc shape of the deck. It joins the two towers adjacent to Margaret Street.

The engineering feat has linked The Star Grand Hotel to the Residential Tower creating a 100-metre-high sky bridge over William Street.

Sky Deck Construction

Destination Brisbane Consortium, Project Director, Simon Crooks said the complex lift was achieved safely and efficiently.

“The Sky Deck link section weighting around 220 tonnes was safely lifted more than 60 metres into place using four strand jacks,” Mr Crooks said. “Months of preparation has gone into this technologically advanced lift which has now created that iconic arc shape that the Sky Deck will be famous for. The third and final section will be lifted into place in the coming months in the lead-up to what will be Brisbane’s most sought-after selfie spot.”

Kelvin Dodt Chief, Operating Officer, The Star Entertainment Group Brisbane said it’s another significant step in the progress of the $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf Brisbane development.

“It’s the second major milestone we’ve celebrated in as many weeks. Last week the Neville Bonner Bridge touched down, linking South Bank to the CBD, and now our iconic Sky Deck is two-thirds of the way to complete,” Mr Dodt said.
