More than six months since our last update, and progress at the site of the $1 billion high-rise trio known as the Jewel Towers has been moving along well, the 48-, 41-, and 35-storey towers now very close to topping off. A joint project between two of China's largest developers - Dalian Wanda Group and Ridong Group - the crystalline trio that comprise the Jewel Towers will bring 512 luxury residences and a five-star hotel to Australia's Gold Coast.
Located in Broadbeach, just south of Brisbane, the Jewel Towers will be a sizeable addition to the Gold Coast skyline. Tied together via a shared podium, the three-tower development will place residents almost directly onto the beach, the short distance to be filled by a series of outdoor swimming pools.
The tallest (middle) tower will become the 171-room Wanda Vista Hotel, while the two shorter towers will each be comprised of a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residential units. International design competition winners DBI Design and Oppenheim Architecture + Design have put their architectural stamp upon the project, the signature crystalline massing of the towers having been selected as a tribute to the area's unique geological properties.
Set for completion in 2019, Jewel Towers will be a welcome addition to the Gold Coast, part of the area's ongoing intensification and redevelopment.
