The Mantra Towers of Chevron Surfers Paradise (previously Towers of Chevron Renaissance) form a three–tower residential resort in Surfers Paradise, on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia. The resort is part of the $400 million Chevron Renaissance development that also includes the Chevron Renaissance Shopping Centre; a retail, dining and entertainment complex located at the base of the towers.

History

The Towers were constructed on the site of the old Chevron Hotel, which ceased trading in the mid-1980s and was demolished in 1987. The site remained empty until it was purchased and redeveloped in the late 1990s by the Raptis Group.

Construction of the Towers of Chevron Renaissance commenced in September 2001 and was completed in December 2004. They were named Skyline, Skyline North and Skyline Central in honour of the Skyline Bar, which was opened in 1957 as part of the Chevron Hotel.

The first Tower of the Chevron Renaissance project, Skyline, was completed in January 2003. The second, Skyline North, was completed in May 2004. The third Tower, Skyline Central, was completed in October 2004.

In 2002 property management company S8 Ltd purchased the management rights to the first Tower of the Chevron Renaissance project, Skyline.

In 2006, hotel group Accor took over management rights to all three towers from S8.

In 2015, property management company Mantra Group purchased the management rights to Towers of Chevron Renaissance, and renamed them the Mantra Towers of Chevron Surfers Paradise.

Key Features

The complex occupies a block which stretches from Gold Coast Highway in the east, west to Ferny Avenue; from the Circle on Cavill buildings to the south; half way towards Cavill Avenue; and north to Elkhorn Avenue.

Skyline is 38 storeys high, Skyline North is 50 storeys and Skyline Central is 40 storeys high.

The three towers include 711 apartments and wide range of guest facilities including a fifth floor swimming pool and garden, a number of indoor and outdoor lap pools, gymnasium facilities, a private movie theatre and club lounge.

The 39th floor Penthouse set a new Gold Coast apartment price record when it sold for AUD$9.5 million in early 2018.
