Two skyscrapers proposed for the site by the Billbergia Group and AMP Capital with heights of 270 and 131 metres (886 and 430 ft), were approved by Brisbane City Council in October 2014.

Hutchinson Builders were appointed to construct the project in early 2016.[8][9]

In 2017, residents were permitted to begin moving in, before the rest of the building was completed.[2]

The building is located in the south of the central business district close to the City Botanic Gardens. The site was the location for the cancelled Vision Brisbane project.
