A DEVELOPER wants to build a 21-storey tower just a short walk from one of the Gold Coast’s most popular beaches.
The skyhome tower will have just 28 units, each with three bedrooms in the heart of Main Beach, with most floors containing two apartments, as well as multiple penthouse levels.

The Pacific Street project, put forward by developer Mangomero, will have 84 bedrooms spread across its floors which have been designed with a coastal theme.
“The design will deliver a vibrant and lush (tower) and the architecture of the podium proposed is unique and not traditional in the sense there are no solid walls,” A report on the proposed tower says.

“The podium is primarily open and the space inside predominantly void. The side facades are made of terracotta louvres running horizontal, providing shading and a soft interface to the adjoining properties’
“Each level is designed for the coastal environment and Queensland’s subtropical climate and includes balconies at the front and rear for ventilation as well as significant landscaped communal open space at the recreational levels.”

It would replace an ageing two-storey apartment block which would be demolished to make way for the tower.
The developer held two pre-lodgement meetings with the council in June and September last year where the project’s design and features were discussed.
