The front facade is the host of fins that represent the sunrise from the ocean, with the fins located on the opposite facade telling the story of shadows rays to fall, the design statement submitted by Caydon to the Gold Coast City Council read.

"The transition of fins create unique but strong looks in each and every angles."

The resident amenity will be located on ground level, and will feature a gym, swimming pool, a spa, a yoga lawn, and a sauna.

"The recreation deck was designed to make real connection with the vibrancy and vitality that beach side living offers," the design statement continued.

Currently on The Esplanade block is North Burleigh Place, an old low-rise apartment building.
