The tower is still being assessed by council officers.
A development application filed with Gold Coast City Council stated the tower would have 15 units – 13 three-bedroom apartments and two split-level four-bedroom penthouses.
In a statement posted to social media, cafe management said the closure came with “great sadness and a heavy heart”.
“We have had eight wonderful years at Lark getting to know many beautiful people from the area and people from afar,” it said.
‘We would like to thank everyone for their support, because without you all we would not have lasted this long. We will miss you all.”
