Part of the ongoing transformation of the iconic Broadbeach property, the new tower will feature 700 keys — 300 hotel rooms and the property’s first-ever residential apartments.

Construction is expected to be completed by 2020.

The new complex is the first of up to five unveiled in the master plan Jupiters released earlier this year.

Jupiters is currently rolling out a $345 million refurbishment of the existing casino and construction of a new, six-star, 17-storey luxury hotel at the front of the property.

“With increasing visitation forecasts out of Asia and China, together with strong domestic tourism figures, Queensland is well-placed to capture this growth but needs enhanced tourism product to meet the demand,” he said.

Jupiters is set to build a new 200m tall apartment and hotel tower.

“Our vision is to continue to transform Jupiters into a truly integrated resort on the Gold Coast, and help position the tourism industry as an economic driver in Queensland.

“We are making an enduring commitment to South East Queensland through a long-term master plan for our Gold Coast property and a $3 billion investment at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane, both involving our Hong Kong based partners Chow Tai Fook and Far East Consortium.”
