Comiskey Group’s ambitious Town Centre proposal scores the green light
The operator’s landmark $180 million mixed-use lifestyle precinct – dubbed a “mini-James Street” – has been given the official go-ahead. Work will soon commence on the transformation of the 1.72-hectare site into a premium lifestyle destination, complete with a five-star hotel, hospitality offering, wellness and entertainment facilities, plus landscaped public spaces.
Comiskey Group, the award-winning operator behind Eatons Hill Hotel, Sandstone Point Hotel and The Doonan, has officially received development approval for its most ambitious undertaking yet – the 25,000-sqm lifestyle precinct, Town Square.
Located in North Lakes at the heart of the Moreton Bay, the large-scale development will look to deliver a multifaceted, day-to-night hub – a one-of-a-kind addition for one of Queensland’s fastest-growing communities.
Designed by award-winning architects bureau^proberts, the 25,000-sqm hub will feature an urban resort-style five-star hotel, spanning nine storeys and 144 rooms, as well as premium and casual hospitality options (including a 2000-sqm signature Comiskey Group hospitality venue), retail and lifestyle operators, health, fitness and wellness amenities, and a central landscaped public realm.
“We see this as something genuinely different for North Lakes and for Moreton Bay,” says Comiskey Group director Rob Comiskey. “There isn’t currently a destination of this scale or this calibre in the area bringing all of these experiences together.”

Envisioned as a city-defining undertaking akin in scale and prestige to Brisbane’s James Street strip, Comiskey Group is looking to establish Town Square as a world-class food, lifestyle and entertainment destination for locals and visitors.
“We’ve deliberately moved away from the traditional shopping centre model,” adds Rob. “This is about creating somewhere people actually want to spend time, whether that’s staying in the hotel, going out for dinner, meeting friends, enjoying entertainment, exercising or simply spending time in the public spaces.
“The approval means we can now move into the next exciting stage of bringing this vision to life.”
Construction is scheduled to commence in early 2027. Consultants have been engaged and design work is already underway.
With development approved, Comiskey Group is now seeking landmark tenants for Town Square – leasing opportunities are now open for a select range of retailers, restaurateurs, wellness operators, entertainment businesses and commercial tenants.
