The developer behind a new $300m Surfers Paradise tower is claiming their project will have the Gold Coast’s highest pool once completed.
The pool will be on the rooftop of Malaysian developer MRCB International’s 51-storey building which is expected to begin construction later this year, with a finish date of 2026.
MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan said the “sky pool” was a key plank of the tower’s wellness features and would only be open to residents of the tower’s three or four-bedroom units which will all sit above the 33rd floor.
“The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s favourite holiday destinations, and our aim is to debut in the hotly contested Queensland market with a project that allows our residents to live like they are on a permanent vacation, through an amenity rich, convenience-driven gamut of
initiatives,” he said.
“Taking advantage of Queensland’s incredible weather, we have introduced numerous outdoor living and socialising zones that offer views, but with the type of seclusion experienced in suburban homes.
“In particular, our sky pool on level 51 totally disconnects you from the world and it will be very special to look out of the pool and only see the sky above you.”
However, it’s not the highest pool ever proposed for the Gold Coast – the failed Spirit tower, which was also planned for Surfers Paradise, was meant to have one on its 89th level.
However, that project never went ahead after its Chinese owner pulled the pin and sold the site.
The MRCB tower will have 280 units and will be the company’s third Australian project.
MRCB is a wholly owned subsidiary of the publicly listed Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad.
The company bought the site in September 2021. The tower will have six levels of parking, including four in the basement and two in its podium.
