INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed chef, Andrew McConnell, is bringing his Supernormal restaurant to Cbus Property’s 443 Queen St residential tower in the Brisbane CBD.
The original Melbourne-based Supernormal is located in Cbus Property’s 171 Collins development, facing the famous Flinders Lane dining strip, with the chef now brining the contemporary food styling to the Brisbane River edge.
“It is amazing to be working with Andrew and his team again and we look forward to facilitating his aspirations for Brisbane’s up-and-coming dining scene. Supernormal is a Melbourne favourite and we look forward to seeing it thrive in a new world city,” said Adrian Pozzo, CEO at Cbus Property.
McConnell, who is also the chef of renown offerings Gimlet at Cavendish House, Cutler & Co. and Cumulus Inc., noted “a special combination of relationship, location and architecture at 443 Queen St” was bringing his team to the Queensland capital.
“For the past seven years, we’ve welcomed many interstate and international guests to Supernormal in Melbourne. Now, we look forward to contributing to Brisbane’s already growing and vibrant food scene,” said McConnell.
Supernormal is inspired by McConnell’s time spent living and working in Hong Kong and Shanghai, with the expansion of the brand following recent praise for the chef’s Gimlet, making the annual longlist of the World’s 50 Best Restaurant.
“When complete, 443 Queen St will be a pivotal component of the ever-evolving Brisbane River Walk precinct – and Supernormal will become the go-to for residents of 443 Queen St and a destination for locals and visitors to Brisbane alike.
The 47-level 443 Queen St comprises 264 residential apartments, with architectural design by Singapore-based WOHA and Brisbane’s Architectus and construction currently underway by Hutchinson Builders.
In September last year, 443 Queen St was also awarded Australia’s first 6 Star Green Star – Design & As Built Version 1.2 Design Review certified rating for a residential tower by the Green Building Council of Australia.
“Cbus Property endeavours to develop dynamic and versatile precincts in which people want to live, work, play and thrive so the delivery of quality amenity is key. Introducing Supernormal to Brisbane is a natural extension of this mission.”
443 Queen St is anticipated for a 2023 completion, with Supernormal due to open its doors late-2023.
