The $1.2 billion development is located at 3 Trickett St, Surfers Paradise, situated directly opposite the beachfront and Surfers Paradise Esplanade.

The DBI designed tower will have 693 apartments and three levels of recreation decks.

An infinity pool on the 88th floor is planned which will boast views across the Gold Coast, looking down on Queensland’s current tallest tower, Q1.

$2 million in public art is being proposed for the project which is directly located opposite Surfers Paradise Esplanade. Among the biggest public art features will be an external LED lighting system that will create a rain-like illusion down the building’s facade.

The Forise Holdings tower surpasses Brisbane’s current tallest tower – Brisbane Skytower.
