Located just minutes from key venues, transport hubs, and entertainment zones, the development offers residents and investors front-row access to one of the biggest global events of the decade.

A vacuum waste system will be used across the resort. The tallest building is known as the Queen’s Wharf Residence and is divided into Emerald, Ruby and Diamond tiers with a penthouse apartment. Queen’s Wharf consists of four towers situated atop a seven-storey podium and a five-level basement. The Sky Deck extends 250 metres around the top of two towers. This involved the placement of a 175-tonne piece of steel 100 metres above ground level, between the two curved towers.

The $3.6 billion redevelopment will now activate space between the Goodwill Bridge and 1 William Street creating an above-water pedestrian walkway and recreational area called Waterline Park.
