FV Precinct Towers

Written By Lachlan Nicolson

The FV precinct is one of Brisbane’s most significant mixed-use residential developments, comprising three major towers — Flatiron, Valley House and No.1 — delivered in two stages by GURNER™. With almost 1,000 dwellings plus retail and resident amenity, the project required a high level of survey accuracy and coordinated titling across a complex vertical scheme.

Lawson Surveys delivered the complete titling surveying package for the three-tower precinct, providing the plans and advisory required for staged registration and legal definition of all residential, retail and shared components.
