The $430 million development consists of three champagne flute-shaped towers, two at 24 storeys and one at 27 storeys, which will contain a total of 555 units. The design also incorporates the preservation of heritage-listed Middenbury House. The development will occupy a 1.5 hectare site on the banks of the Brisbane River, just four kilometres from Brisbane central business district. The site was the location of the former ABC studios at Toowong.
The proposed development has received development application approval from the Brisbane City Council. Construction on the site was expected to begin by the end of 2015.[1]
In July 2015 a legal challenge was launched in the Planning and Environment Court to stop the project on the grounds that the aesthetic values and the views to the Brisbane River and from West End are unreasonably diminished.[2]
