Developed by Queensland property group Devine this 90 metre tall 25 storey apartment hotel was completed in 2010 at a cost of $138 million.
The development due to the demolition of the former Eastern Arcade, a Victorian era building on the site. Despite Heritage Victoria not listing the building on the Victorian Heritage Register, it was recommended that the Byzantine styled facade be retained1until planning minister Justin Madden called the project in and controversially approved the demolition in June 2008 and the nature of the swift demolition sparked community uproar.2
