Congratulations to Mermaid Beach resident John Potter and his company the Potter Group, which also calls Mermaid home. They have just received the green light from Gold Coast City Council to build a new high rise tower at Broadbeach.
When completed, the $450 million project at Main Place will soar 52 stories high. It will include 173 hotel suites, 320 apartments, 1794sqm of shopping (steady girls) and a further 2346sqm of office space.
I am already looking forward to having a look around the building when it is completed. I think it will be a magnificent addition to the Broadbeach skyline and it will create another destination for residents of Miami, Mermaid Beach and Mermaid Waters.
The Gold Coast needs more projects like this, especially at a time when the city is still going through tough times.
The only thing that left a bit of a sour taste about the whole deal is that the councillor who represents Broadbeach and parts of Mermaid, decided to oppose the project. Perhaps we should all remember that in 2012 at the next council elections.
