Yet another 300footer fro the ever expanding Broadbeach!
this 28levl/90m tower will stand adjacent to the 33storey/105m carmel by the Sea.
i luke the sweeping curve! this one along with ULTRA & CRYSTAL Towers, southern BB sure will look impressive!

Wow!!!

Is this different from the one at the corner at Monteray Plaza... the one with the spiral features?
Confused with all the activity happening at broad beach!
It is a 34 storey tower built with glass with the wave like design.
Will scan a photo later

Which side's the new tower going Cul?

It'll be just to the north of Carmel. Should be snapped-up pretty quickly being beachfront and all.

CULWULLA
July 5th, 2004, 09:33 AM
yeah as mr tall said this tower is across the road to the north with Crystal Towers a block south! also Ultra isnt too far away either!

Mr MacPhisto
July 5th, 2004, 01:03 PM
^Excellent. That really will make for a line of towers.

The G.C.
July 8th, 2004, 02:40 AM
Any word on a name for it yet?
It will block out Carmel's view north by the looks of it too.
It looks good however it is only a very small site that it is going to be built on I wonder what the facilities and parking will be like?

This project made news again this week in GC bulletin.It mentions how APG (Australian property group) from Canberra is readying for the realease of the $100mil tower. They are already building Brisbanes tallest atm- AURORA.
This is great news for property market on GC.

Sometimes, the things that make Gold Coast living so desirable also compromise the quality of life of its permanent residents.

Tourism may pay the Gold Coast's metaphorical rent, but most of us would prefer not to live next door to where the rent payers are partying.

At Verve Broadbeach, you'll put such concerns and the rest of the Gold Coast behind you.

Here, in a prestigious beachfront apartment community of long term neighbours seeking the same superior quality of life as you, you'll enjoy Gold Coast living as it should be.

Verve Broadbeach is an architectural masterpiece, perfectly attuned to its unique Broadbeach site on Old Burleigh Road. The building features ground level residents only landscaped gardens and terraces, below sweeping curved balconies with breath taking 200 degree views of beach and ocean.

Verve Broadbeach will offer a range of spacious one, two and three bedroom apartments, all with study; some three bedroom apartments occupying entire floors of their own; and a magnificent full floor penthouse with internal stairs to its own private roof terrace with luxury facilities.

This is an address with everything the Gold Coast offers at your fingertips, yet insulated from its excesses. If you'd value the luxury of enjoying the good life without compromise, you'll certainly value the opportunity to learn more about Verve Broadbeach now.

I see Matrix is building this as well (in addition to Reflections on the Sea). I wish they'd cart their arses up to Townsville and make a start on the 12-month overdue Gateway.

But they do some very comprehensive construction updates - the kind of photos that make you go "why the hell would anyone want to see a photo of that?" Take a look at June pics here (http://www.matrixpm.com.au/projects/verve.htm)

Different render from Matrix.

It's just a comunications tower. I've never noticed before u mentioned it Cul so I don't think it's very tall. I think it's part of the Broadbeach police station.
