Designed by Docklands–based Metier 3 and developed by M&L Hospitality, the project was proposed in 2014, for a 280.3-metre (920 ft) tall[2] 71–storey residential and hotel skyscraper.[3][4] The residential component of the building would comprise 496 apartment dwellings, whilst the hotel section would include 390 hotel suites.[5][1] The overall exterior design of the building was inspired by a Ball gown "with flowering curves."[6][7]

The development received approval in April 2015, by Planning Minister Richard Wynne. If constructed, the A$400 million skyscraper would become the third-tallest building in Melbourne, behind the nearby Eureka Tower and recently completed Australia 108.[6]
