171 Edward Street was a proposal for a residential skyscraper to be located at the address of the same name on the corner of Edward and Elizabeth Streets in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The tower would have risen to a height of 265m (274m AHD) which is currently the maximum allowable height in the Brisbane central business district.

The 81-storey tower would have included 642 apartments; 313 one-bedrooms, 219 two-bedrooms, and 110 three-bedrooms. Recreation areas with a pool, gymnasium and games room would have been located across levels 4 and 5. Retail space was also planned for the ground floor and mezzanine level.

A development application, lodged with the Brisbane City Council in December 2015,[1][2] was approved in May 2016.[3] As of 2019, approval for the building was set to expire in June 2020. Aria's commercial manager Michael Zaicek allegedly told Commercial Real Estate that they “have no intentions for a residential development in the near future”.

Property developer Dexus acquired the site in 2019 for A$87m. In 2022, Dexus sold the site to a Singapore-listed company, the Hour Glass Group, for A$82.2m. As such, it may be inferred that the original plan has been put on indefinite hold, if not cancelled.[4]
