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 penthouses will span the entire level and will each have three bedrooms, each with their own walk-in-robes and ensuites, three balconies, two studies, and a walk in pantry behind the open plan kitchen, living and dining area.

The penthouse starts at level 17 and has two levels, with stairs leading up to a private rooftop terrace with a lap pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and lounge and dining areas.

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.

The Miami - North Burleigh area is undergoing a new wave of urban regeneration and gentrification, according to the town planning report by Zone Planning Group.
