The tallest buildings on the Gold Coast

Q1 Tower in Surfers Paradise is the tallest building on the Gold Coast at 322 metres and 78 storeys, finished in 2005. It has held the title for over two decades. One Park Lane Tower 1, approved for Southport at 393 metres and 101 storeys, is the one that finally takes it.

This is every Gold Coast tower we hold a verified height for, ranked. Heights come from published building records, floor counts and locations from OpenStreetMap. Where a number is not verified we leave it out rather than guess. Each building links to its own page with the address, what is on site and where it sits on the map.

How many Gold Coast buildings are over 100 metres?
59 of the buildings we hold a verified height for stand at 100 metres or more, and 12 reach 150 metres or more. Almost all of them sit in the narrow strip between Southport and Broadbeach, which is why the skyline reads like a capital city when you look back from the beach.
What is the tallest building planned for the Gold Coast?
One Park Lane Tower 1 in Southport, approved at 393 metres over 101 storeys. At that height it would be the tallest building in Australia, not just on the Gold Coast.
Where do these heights come from?
Published building height records, cross-checked against OpenStreetMap and Wikidata. Heights are structural, to the architectural top rather than the tip of an aerial, which is why some figures differ from the numbers a marketing brochure quotes. If we cannot verify a height we leave the building off this ranking rather than estimate it.
Sources. Heights and completion years: published building records and Wikidata. Floor counts, addresses and locations: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Coverage: 90 buildings with a verified height, out of 414 listed. Last checked: August 2026.
