Town Square is an exemplar of civic space renewal and architectural excellence.
Over the past seven years Aria has transformed a derelict laneway into one of Brisbane's most exciting food & beverage precincts, bounded by an outdoor art gallery.
Fish Lane Town Square is the culmination of Aria's urban renewal strategy for South Brisbane — transforming 38 private carparks previously used for commercial tenancies into a new public park.
Embracing over 3,000 plants, public seating and lighting installations with live music and performances from Friday to Sunday night, Fish Lane Town Square has quickly become a much-loved urban space for the public and community.
