It began construction during early 2009, and will become Brisbane's tallest building upon completion.
It contains 25 floors of serviced apartments and 43 floors of private residential apartments. In total there are 464 apartments.[2] It is situated on a relatively small 1500 m² corner site with rear access from Arch Lane. The slender building will house 10 levels of carpark which required one of the biggest excavations in Brisbane's history.[3] Retail space for cafes and restaurants is provided across three levels.[3]
Brisbane Residential Buildings
The first building design for the site was rejected by the Brisbane City Council. This design was described as appalling and raised traffic congestion impacts.[3] In late June 2008 a new design was submitted to the council and approved.
