A Starbucks Development Is Coming to Northgate

A Starbucks development is coming to Northgate. The approved development proposal will also include a service station and research tech offices to be built at the former site of the Northgate Foundry building on Toombul Road.



According to the Verve-designed plans, the development will include the establishment of a service station which plans were already approved back in 2020 and two new stand-alone buildings. The development will be integrated with the existing brick building situated on the southwest side of the 7,994sqm site at 185 Toombul Road in Northgate.

There will be a Starbucks outlet with a drive-through to be built on the corner of Toombul Road and Holland Street whilst next to it will be one of the research and technology industry buildings.

The approved application will also involve the reconfiguring of the lot into two subdivisions to separate the service station with its associated reciprocal easements. The four buildings will be situated on each of the corner sides of the site with driveways and an 86-car parking area provided at the centre of the development.

The old Northgate Foundry building which has been at the site since the 1950s has been demolished to facilitate the approved development. The project which will cover a total gross floor area of 1,533sqm will provide a new shared driveway to Holland Street and Toombul Road.
