The Broadbeach area is currently undergoing a large amount of urban renewal largely characterised by a mix of both old and new developments, with the 10 St Kilda Ave site located within the light rail urban renewal Area designated by the Gold Coast City Plan 2015.

Plans show the project would comprise six floors of serviced apartments, 11 floors of residential apartments, one floor of three-bedroom apartments, and the single floor penthouse. Along with two floors of recreational area split between level seven (double height recreational area), and the rooftop area.

Down the road, Brisbane developer Seymour Group was green-lit in April for a $32 million nine-level Bureau Proberts-designed residential tower at 2 First Avenue.

Led by property veteran Kevin Seymour, the developer plans to retain two of the luxury, one residence per floor, dwellings for private use.
