There will be retail and commercial tendencies on its ground floor.

At least 45 car spaces will be included in the project.

It will go before councillors later this year.

It comes just months after the Gold Coast Bulletin revealed a beloved Palm Beach cafe would soon be demolished to make way for a beachside tower.

Spikexx Espresso is on the site of an eight-level, low-rise development which is proposed for the area.

Locally based developer Drew Group are behind the eight-level tower on a prime 2198 sqm site, which will front Palm Beach Ave and Jefferson Lane.

The boutique tower will have 76 units and three terraces.
