Until the federation of the Australian colonies in 1901, the Queensland Navy’s main storage facility was located in Kangaroo Point. For many years the suburb was dominated by the factories of heavy engineering businesses, particularly those involved in the maritime industry.

In 1939 and with the advent of World War II and the nation needing ships, Evans Deakin launched into the shipbuilding industry. The site chosen was Moar’s Slip, adjacent to Cairns Street, Kangaroo Point. The keel of the company’s first vessel was laid in July 1940. In its 36-year history they built 83 vessels, the largest being the oil tanker Robert Miller, launched in November 1973. Following a world-wide slump in ship building the company ceased its shipbuilding activity. The dockyards lay derelict for some years until, starting in the late 1980’s, the Dockside Precinct was born.

Today the Dockside Precinct consists of eight high rise residential building complexes, together with a range of quality restaurants, cafes and retail stores with the city ferry terminal only a few minutes stroll. The Precinct’s bikeway and waterside boardwalk connect Kangaroo Point with Brisbane through Southbank and West End. Located in the heart of Dockside, the Macleay Tower and Villas offers spacious, modern, comfortable apartment living, featuring stunning views of the Brisbane river from the city to the Story Bridge.
