We have a great local following and this project has been a runaway success, it has so many distinct design elements which have made it so popular, Tessa managing director Brendan Tutt said.

We have more amenity than any other similar projects in our [market] and our project features a rooftop pool with full panoramic city views, outdoor dining area and further extensive rooftop recreational area these things will ensure we get a premium price and rent.

Construction commenced recently and appointed builders RCQ are already through demolition and into excavation with completion due mid 2018.
