Designed by global architecture practice <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area.

Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformation at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>, said the project reflects a disciplined, collaborative approach to city shaping.&nbsp;

“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential &nbsp;neighbourhoods," Labutis said.

"Our focus for Archer &amp; Albert was to manage that transition carefully, respecting what’s already there &nbsp;while contributing something new that feels deliberate and enduring."

Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>, in partnership with Metrics Credit Partners, has officially broken ground on its landmark $1.8 billion Kings Bay Village project in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/five-dock-nsw-2046">Five Dock</a>, marking the beginning of construction on one of the most significant urban renewal precincts within the Parramatta Road Corridor.

A sod-turning ceremony was held at the project site on Parramatta Road, with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully joining Deicorp Chairman Fouad Deiri OAM and Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart, to mark the significant milestone.

Located at 129-154 Parramatta Road, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> will transform more than three hectares of underutilised land into a highly connected new neighbourhood comprising 1,185 homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, alongside new retail, commercial, and community spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356895]

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">TURNER</a>, the precinct blends crafted brick architecture with a pedestrian-focused urban layout across six buildings of varying scale. The project will deliver 14,700sqm of retail and commercial space, 6,500sqm of public open space, and a new 2,290sqm landscaped park and civic plaza that will form the social heart of the community.

Kings Bay Village is positioned minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s shared ambition for a more connected, liveable and revitalised Parramatta Road Corridor. Deicorp will also contribute more than $80 million towards new and upgraded local infrastructure, including pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape and significant public domain works.

Fouad Deiri OAM, Chairman of Deicorp, said Kings Bay Village represents a defining opportunity for Sydney’s Inner West.

&nbsp;“Today marks the beginning of a precinct that will deliver lasting benefits for the Five Dock community - new homes, new open spaces, and a vibrant mixed-use environment that brings people closer to transport, services and amenities,"&nbsp;Deiri says.

“We are proud to be delivering much-needed housing, including affordable homes for essential workers, in partnership with the NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay. Kings Bay Village is urban renewal at its best - thoughtful, connected and community-focused.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356894]

Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said the company is proud to support more housing and infrastructure in a key Sydney corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“Metrics and Deicorp share a proven track record of delivering high-impact projects that align closely with the NSW Government’s housing and infrastructure priorities. Kings Bay Village marks our most significant Sydney development to date, offering quality homes, essential infrastructure, and dynamic public spaces.” 
&nbsp; 
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to creating value by supporting economic growth, job creation, and delivering excellent outcomes for our investors,” he said.

With Kings Bay Village now underway, Deicorp’s pipeline of apartments under construction across Sydney has increased to 5,102. Kings Bay Village is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2029.

When Antoinette Chan and her architect husband, Peter began casually searching for an investment property, they weren’t expecting it to evolve into a life-changing family decision.

But one visit to the display suite of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-1-11-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO</a> development in Crows Nest changed everything, and sparked a remarkable story of three generations choosing to live side by side in one of the suburb's most architecturally-striking new developments.

Antoinette, her mother Janet Khoo, and her sister, who is currently living in Singapore, each purchased an apartment in the same building, creating a rare and meaningful multi-generational living arrangement underpinned by modern design, community values, and premium convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356083]

“It wasn’t planned,” says Antoinette, who purchased a three-bedroom garden apartment with her husband and teenage daughter. “Peter came across KOYO and encouraged me to visit because he had a lot of respect for Abadeen’s previous work. As soon as we saw it, we knew it wasn’t just an investment, this was a home.”

Shortly after, Antoinette suggested her mother, Janet Khoo, take a look at the same development. A long-time inner-city resident who had recently sold her property in The Rocks, Janet had experienced some health setbacks and was contemplating a move closer to her daughter.

“I walked into the display apartment, and it just felt right,” says Janet. “I didn’t look anywhere else. The space, the simplicity of the design, the light, everything gave me a sense of peace. It’s a new beginning, but it also feels like home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356093]

In a stroke of serendipity, Janet selected the two-bedroom apartment next door to her daughter, completely unaware of Antoinette’s purchase. Around the same time, Antoinette’s sister, who resides in Singapore, viewed the property via a virtual tour and chose to buy the apartment directly above Janet’s.

“We were all drawn to KOYO individually, and it just happened that our homes ended up vertically stacked, ground, first, and second floor,” Antoinette laughs. “It was a coincidence, but also a sign. This is where we’re meant to be.”

Designed by celebrated architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, KOYO delivered on all fronts for the Chan-Khoo family.

“Our garden apartment gives us the feel of a standalone home but with none of the maintenance,” says Antoinette. “All three bedrooms open onto a generous private garden, which is perfect for our dog Archie, and for entertaining. The open-plan layout and high ceilings make it feel airy, calm and luxurious.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356092]

For Janet, security and accessibility were top priorities, and KOYO offered the ideal balance.

“At my age, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs,” she explains. “The first-floor apartment opens directly to the garden, and the building is small, which gives it a more personal, village-like feel. Yet I’m just steps away from my daughter and granddaughter. That gives me so much peace of mind.”

The family also appreciated the thoughtful amenities that avoided the excesses of some larger developments.

“We didn’t want a complex with too many facilities we wouldn’t use,” explains Antoinette. “KOYO has everything we need, generous storage, secure parking, beautifully landscaped walkways, and a stunning rooftop terrace with BBQ facilities that feels serene rather than busy.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=355428]

The location was another critical factor in the family’s decision. Though they had always lived closer to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Antoinette says the transformation of Crows Nest was a revelation.

“When we returned from living overseas, we discovered Crows Nest had become this vibrant, walkable hub,” she says. “We love being able to stroll to cafés, restaurants, and shops on Willoughby Road. The new Metro makes the commute into the CBD effortless, and our daughter can walk to her school, it’s just next door."

Janet agree. “I was worried about giving up my inner-city lifestyle, but I’ve fallen in love with this area. It has everything I need, supermarkets, quiet streets, friendly faces, and it’s all a short walk away. I feel safe, independent, and connected.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356085]

While design and location were important, the family also credits their decision to Abadeen’s reputation and responsiveness. With decades of experience delivering high-quality residential projects, Abadeen’s track record helped build trust during a volatile market period.

“The waiting game was tough, especially after selling my old apartment,” says Janet. “But the Abadeen team kept me updated every step of the way. They were professional, courteous, and transparent.”

Antoinette said Peter works in property and had already heard of Abadeen. "The quality of their work really impressed us, and as the project neared completion, they went above and beyond to keep us informed and supported. That level of communication is rare.”

Only a handful of three-bedroom residences remain for sale, priced from $3.5 million.

Sydney-based developer Gold Partners Australia is making its move on the Gold Coast, launching what is one of the most affordable towers to the booming Broadbeach market.

Its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harmony-on-broadbeach-2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach-qld-4218">Harmony on Broadbeach</a> project, just 400m from the beach, has prices starting from $975,000 for its two-bedroom apartments that measure nearly 90 sqm internally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355607]

There will be 113 two- and three-bedroom apartments spread out across the 33-storey tower on the 1,201 sqm site that will front First Avenue. Gold Partners Australia, which has delivered several major projects in Sydney's Norwest and has an active pipeline with projects in Hornsby and Carlingford, secured the block vacant, and want to start preliminary site works early next year through their in-house construction capability.

DBI Architects designed the tower with a four-level podium which will have an open-air swimming pool, sun deck, outdoor lounges, alfresco dining spaces, and a gym with adjoining yoga lawn. A hospitality venue will anchor the building at street level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355611]

Olympus Property Group is selling Harmony on Broadbeach on behalf of Gold Partners Australia. Olympus Director Deanna Lockett says the project is resonating with everyone from locals, investors, those moving from interstate, and second home buyers from Brisbane.

"There's been nothing new come to the market in Broadbeach at this price point for nearly a year," Lockett recalls. "It hits the sweet spot of affordability, good sized apartments, in a great location."

Construction will commence in Q2 2026, and wrap up, all going well, by the end of 2028.

Display apartments play a crucial role in helping buyers imagine how a space will look and feel once complete.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> in Melbourne, development giant Mirvac has partnered with furniture maker and retailer MCM House to create a fully furnished, full-scale prototype that showcases the proportions, finishes, and design intent of the project’s three-bedroom residences.

As an added incentive, purchasers of any two- or three-bedroom apartment can receive up to $50,000 worth of MCM House furniture, allowing them to curate their new home with the same craftsmanship, contemporary design, and aesthetic showcased in the display apartment.

Oversized sofas, solid timber dining tables, and relaxed, low-profile seating demonstrate how the space accommodates real furniture, helping buyers clearly visualise how their new apartment could look, complete with pieces that genuinely suit the scale and design of the home.

The styling is simple but deliberate, with materials that pick up on the apartment’s natural light and neutral tones, creating cohesion without crowding the space.

Mirvac is now welcoming buyers through the display at The Albertine. Quietly yet conveniently positioned just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road, the development has attracted strong interest from inner-Melbourne and Bayside downsizers, professional couples seeking luxurious low-maintenance living, and design-focused buyers who want proximity to the CBD.

Apartments have been designed by Mirvac's inhouse design team with owner-occupiers at the forefront.&nbsp;The living and dining areas open directly onto a balcony, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, while kitchens feature integrated appliances and soft-curve cabinetry which mirror the larger architectural themes at play throughout the building.

BDA Architecture

Local property developers BluePoint Property have once again made their mark on the coveted Palm Beach real estate landscape with their latest residential venture – Seventh Terraces.&nbsp;

The project emerges as the third addition to the group's Palm Beach portfolio, following the 34-apartment East Palm Beach and the 63-apartment SEA Palm Beach.

Seventh Terraces stands as a distinctive boutique project, comprising seven three-level beach homes that face the east, maximising ocean views from private rooftops.

A refined coastal aesthetic defines the homes, featuring upscale finishes that merge beachside living with luxury. Two-car garages, spacious storage areas, and private ground floor courtyards contribute to the allure of the beach houses.

Designed by BDA Architecture, the development's main objective was to diversify housing options within the precinct. The seven townhouses are interwoven amongst apartments and detached residences, fostering a sense of community while retaining individuality. The adaptability shines through in the design's integration of private home-based offices, all while maintaining the privacy of separate entrances and courtyards for neighbouring dwellings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89730 project_image_fid=186718]

The interiors of the beach houses exude coastal elegance, characterised by generous open-plan living and dining spaces that seamlessly transition to east-facing balconies. Expansive full-height glazing saturates the interiors with natural light, enhancing the connection to the picturesque surroundings, while a palette of light and stone, engineered timber, oak feature joinery, and brushed nickel accents contributes to an overall sophisticated ambiance that resonates with the iconic beachside setting.

The pièce de résistance of Seventh Terraces is the rooftop terraces. Positioned to capture the easterly panorama, the terraces forge a link with the Pacific Ocean, presenting a serene and awe-inspiring backdrop for residents.

Location-wise, Seventh Terraces enjoys an enviable position approximately 200 metres from the beach in the heart of Palm Beach. Nestled amongst a plethora of Gold Coast's premier dining establishments and cafes, the development is further enhanced by its proximity to the world-renowned Tallebudgera Creek to the north and Currumbin Creek to the south, both acclaimed as top-tier swimming destinations within Australia.

The development's central location aligns with Palm Beach's vibrant spirit, with the recently revamped Pavilions Shopping Centre and an array of boutique shops, medical facilities, and wellness centres all conveniently accessible to residents.

Inside BluePoint Property's third Palm Beach development, Seventh Terraces

The latest apartment development application to the Gold Coast City Council&#39;s desk has been designed by the local architecture firm BDA with inspiration taken from modern racing yachts with foiled keels.

A Sydney-based development has lodged plans for a 15-level apartment project at&nbsp;2919 Gold Coast Highway, Surfers Paradise, which will home just 35 apartments.

The majority of those will be three-bedroom apartments, with a handful of two-bedroom apartments located on the lower levels.

In their design statement, BDA noted that the towers form is a product of the changing floor plates, with the overall mass of the building reducing, the higher it gets.

&quot;This in turn creates an interesting, slender tower and will create visual interest from the surrounding context,&quot; the architecture firm suggested.

There will be three apartments per floor on the lower levels, and two per floor on the upper levels.

The rooftop homes the communal recreation facilities, which include&nbsp;an outdoor BBQ and dining area, residents lounge, lap pool, gym and lounging&nbsp;areas.

&quot;All apartments feature large, north facing balconies that act as outdoor rooms to encourage indoor/outdoor interaction,&quot; BDA say.

A small cafe will sit on the ground level, with exposure to the busy Gold Coast Highway to the west.

The vacant 827 sqm of land sits across the street from the well known D&#39;Arcy Arms Irish Pub, which itself was listed as a development site late last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Gold Coast Highway, which runs all the way down the Gold Coast from Mermaid Beach to Bilinga with apartment projects on both the beach side and the west side, has been busy in recent months.

Tim&nbsp;Gurner, alongside financier MaxCap Group, secured&nbsp;1929 Gold Coast Highway in&nbsp;Burleigh Heads, <a href="/news/qld/gurner-secures-burleigh-heads-apartment-development-site-plans-22-level-luxury-tower">with plans to create a 22-level luxury tower</a>.&nbsp;

The $120 million project, which will see 80 apartments created and high end amenity located on the rooftop, will be designed by&nbsp;Gurner&#39;s go-to architect, Warren &amp; Mahoney, who handles all of&nbsp;Gurner&#39;s projects both in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.

Just up the road, the&nbsp;innovative developer FORME is also set to produce another high quality project,&nbsp;having secured the site behind their Burleigh Heads apartment project, Sea.

New Surfers Paradise apartment tower designed inspired by yachts

Plans have been submitted to the Gold Coast City Council for a&nbsp;new residential apartment development in Palm Beach.

The boutique project at 1245 Gold Coast Highway, dubbed Aqualina, has been lodged by the Sydney-based development firm Emicon, ran by the Saab family.

Aqualina is&nbsp;Emicon&#39;s first project on the Gold Coast, and the first outside of New South Wales. They&#39;ve previously created apartment projects in Parramatta&nbsp;and Umina Beach on the Central Coast, with a number of projects in the pipeline across Sydney.

Emicon was incorporated in November 1994. Prior to this the company had been operating under its previous name of E &amp; G Saab Constructions for over 20 years.

The Gold Coast tower, designed by BDA Architecture, will only home three bedroom apartments, just two on each of its eight levels.

<img alt="" height="672" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/bda_gold_coast_highway.jpg" width="1200" />

The design was inspired by the natural environment of Palm Beach, from the soft edges of the water to the colours of the headlands, the BDA Architecture submission read 
 
&quot;Inspiration also comes from the curved edges of surfboards and the local architectural vernacular.

&quot;The architecture of the proposal is tailored to the coastal, sub-tropical location of Palm Beach.&quot;

The Design Summary

This project offers the opportunity to design an innovative architectural building and provide a higher residential density development along the beach-front of Palm Beach. The nine storey residential apartment building provides a sculptural fa&ccedil;ade which draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape environment.

<img alt="" height="728" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/bda_gc.jpg" width="1200" />

The Site

The site is located at the Northern End of Jefferson Lane, with access currently located off the Gold Coast Highway, between 15th &amp; 17th Avenue, Palm Beach. The site is 756m&sup2; in area and has unobstructed beach-front views. A two storey apartment block currently occupies the site. The site is bounded to the north by a two storey holiday home with a mix of 2, 3 and 9 storey residential buildings further to the north. The site is bound to the south by a two storey block of units and has close walking distance to public transport along the Gold Coast highway corridor.

Overview

Positioned along Jefferson Lane at Palm Beach, the project will enjoy the amenity of the beach-front and close proximity to shops, cafes and restaurants in the Palm Beach precinct. The site has unobstructed views to Burleigh Headland and south to Coolangatta coastline. This project offers high quality residential apartments with two units per floor level. The apartments provided are large liveable apartments that can cater for families and focus on maximising natural ventilation and natural light.

All apartments are provided with large featured balconies that can be used as an outdoor living room. The two units per floor level provides a low density of only 16 apartments and 48 beds. The ground floor contains vehicle access from Jefferson Lane with visitor parking at grade with access to a two level basement car park, which provides car parking in excess of the planning code requirements. The remaining ground floor houses a clearly defined lobby space and community recreation facilities which contains a pool, pool deck and barbeque area.

Conclusion

This project offers high quality contemporary design that respects the surrounding environment. The imaginative and innovative detailing and built form demonstrates a positive outcome which will enhance the beach-front edge in the Palm Beach precinct.

The tower, designed by BDA Architecture, will only home three bedroom apartments, just two on each of its eight levels.

Mermaid Beach-based BDA Architecture continues to assume a greater presence in the Apartments.com.au Project Database.

On the back of Broadbeach's <a href="/buildings/infinity-33-surf-parade-broadbeach">33 Surf Parade</a> which was <a href="/news/bassar-group-to-test-broadbeachs-luxury-apartment-market-depth">profiled during September</a> as one of Gold Coast's elite apartment towers in waiting, two further apartment developments have been lodged with City of Gold Coast in recent days. The applications cover sites in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

In addition to affirming BDA Architecture's dominant position as the architect of choice on the Gold Coast, the latest applications are also a tick of confidence in resilience of the Gold Coast apartment market.

<figcaption>2763 Gold Coast Highway. Image: BDA Architecture</figcaption></figure>33 Surf Parade aside, The Spot as it has been labelled at 2763 Gold Coast Highway is the second Broadbeach application designed by BDA Architecture and submitted for approval in a matter of days. For Shintaku Australia Pty Ltd, the corner 2,075 square metre site is expected to include apartments and a mini restaurant hub.

360 square metres of ground floor space is spread across three separate restaurant spaces, each of which is framed by distinctive ribbed timber internal spaces.

56 apartments veiled by a distinctive facade sit above the active ground floor. The mix consists of 9 single, 27 double and 20 triple bedroom apartments are supplemented by a gym and yoga space.

In adjoining Surfers Paradise BDA Architecture is responsible for the design of 4 Holborow Close. For Advance Development and Investment Pty Ltd, the mid-rise apartment building has absolute frontage to Nerang River, and this is reflected in the apartment mix. 

Sitting within the Gold Coast Light Rail Urban Renewal Area, the site is earmarked for 27 two bedroom apartments sit beneath a four bedroom penthouse. 324 square metres of communal open space facilities are included, taking advantage of the its riverfront location.

<blockquote>
The building features a traditional architectural treatment of a ‘base’, a ‘middle’ and a ‘top’: Tower Base The tower is suspended over two dramatic angled frames at the entry/recreation deck level; so that the tower itself appears suspended or ‘floating’ above ground.

Tower (‘Middle’) Architecture The tower itself is strongly articulated with vertical planes on the northern and southern elevations, east and western faces feature stronger horizontal treatments with full height glazing and horizontal sun-shading. Tower ‘Cap’ The building is capped with soaring cantilevered roof elements which provide a lightness to the built form, and a separation to the massing of the tower itself.

<figcaption>4 Holborow Close.

Whilst not an absolute count, the 28 current projects are reflective of BDA Architecture's strength on the Gold Coast apartment design market. This equates to almost one in every four projects on the Gold Coast being design by the practice.

Of the active projects on the Gold Coast, Mermaid Beach's <a href="/buildings/mali-residences-4-6-alexandra-avenue-mermaid-beach">Mali Residences</a> is a stand out design, as are <a href="/new-apartments/florian-surfers-paradise-42-monaco-street-surfers-paradise">Edge Monaco</a> and <a href="/buildings/magnoli-apartments-7-nineteenth-avenue-palm-beach">Magnolia Apartments</a>.

BDA Architecture strengthens its Project Database presence with new residential applications

<html><body>
A new skyscraper in Gold Coast's <a href="/new-apartments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> is expecting 61 apartments within a sleek 41 storey form.

Developer <a href="/developers/bassar-group">Bassar Group</a> is backing the high end, low density residential project at 22 George Avenue and 33 Surf Parade. Dubbed Infinity Tower, the development will in time be pitted against a host of similarly placed apartment projects in the area that are chasing luxury buyers.

A sample of Broadbeach projects from the Apartments.com.au Project Database reflects the low density configurations of a number of apartment towers that are exclusively chasing well heeled purchasers.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/image2_17.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Slotting in to the Broadbeach scene.

Image: BDA Architecture" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Slotting in to the Broadbeach scene. Image: BDA Architecture</figcaption></figure>Projects under construction such as <a href="/buildings/vue-broadbeach-10-12-first-avenue-broadbeach">Vue Broadbeach</a> and <a href="/buildings/elysian-185-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">Elysian</a> maintain on average no more than two apartments per floor. Earlier this year an application for 2 Charles Avenue emerged which seeks to push the envelope for luxury living in Broadbeach.

Christened <a href="/new-apartments/luxe-broadbeach-2-charles-avenue-broadbeach">Class Broadbeach</a> the Charles Avenue location is slated for a 54 storey tower holding only 46 apartments, including 34 full floor three bedroom apartments, five two storey sky homes and a three storey penthouse.

Conversely Infinity Tower is expecting a mix of two, three, four and six bedroom dwellings.

Bassar Group took the application to planning in recent days, hoping to convert the 1,012 square metre corner site into a skyscraper of distinction. Currently the property includes two villas and three units.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/image3_14.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Street level perspective.

Image: BDA Architecture" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Street level perspective. Image: BDA Architecture</figcaption></figure>The building's form has led to the moniker Infinity Tower, with BDA Architecture employing a curvilinear form above a podium and describing it as an "exciting fluid tower that will be an iconic defining development to energise this precinct of Broadbeach.

The proposed project name is ‘Infinity’ and essentially the tower’s plan shape acknowledges the symbol for infinity – integrating the symbol twice to achieve the tower form. Spatially this curvilinear shape wraps the rectangular apartment structure."

Oversized apartments aside, prospective future residents can expect a full podium level devoted to amenities, as is a section of the skyscraper's roof level.

A point of difference over the tower is an external lighting system that will illuminate the podium and backlight the coloured horizontal fins on the south side of the tower, "ensuring the towers presence in the skyline at night."
