Jewel Tower Tops Out in Australia

Yuhu Group Australia’s much-anticipated Jewel development reached a significant construction milestone with a community celebration to mark the topping out of the tallest of the project’s three crystalline towers. The topping-out ceremony featured the lifting of a four-meter pandanus palm tree – a familiar feature along Queensland’s famous beaches – to the rooftop with a giant sign reading: “Jewel touches the sky,” as a backdrop.

The Jewel’s central tower now stands at its maximum height of 47 stories or 170 meters and is flanked by towers one and three, which are also at their maximum heights of 41 and 34 stories, respectively.

Following the commencement of construction in February 2016 – by project partner Multiplex – the Jewel towers have rapidly emerged as landmarks of the Gold Coast skyline thanks to their visionary design elements and aesthetics.

The towers, with their distinctive glass curtainwall system, are the result of a creative partnership between architect Chad Oppenheim and DBI Chairman and Director of Design Barry Lee. The fundamental design concept drew inspiration from three smoky quartz crystals discovered in the region.

The Jewel project, with its luxury international five-star hotel, represents the first beachfront resort development on the Gold Coast in more than 30 years. It will be a new asset to support the local tourism industry, which is vital to Queensland. The hotel development will be the centerpiece of tower two and feature a beach-facing resort pool, as well as an expansive health and wellness center, with a separate indoor pool, gymnasium and hair and beauty salons. The complex will also boast a grand ballroom for up to 800 people to cater for major events.

The three Jewel towers will incorporate a wide selection of exclusive one, two, three and four-bedroom private residences, serviced by residential amenities, such as a 24-hour concierge service in tower three. Many of the residences offer spectacular oceanfront and surrounding views. Residents, hotel guests and visitors will be able to enjoy a range of fine dining experiences, expansive bars and high-end retail shopping spaces all within meters of the Surfers Paradise beachfront.

The Jewel is undergoing an extensive internal fit-out stage and remains targeted for completion by mid-2019.
