Soleil

The Soleil Meriton is a residential high-rise in the Australian city of Brisbane, located on Adelaide Street. At 251 meters (823 feet) tall, it was the city's tallest building until 2013, when it was surpassed by the Infinity Tower. The 68-story tower contains a total of 464 apartments, split between private residences and serviced apartments operated by Meriton. The slender building stands on a small corner lot and has space for cafés and restaurants on several floors. The official opening took place in September 2011, after the city had rejected an original design concept. Today, the skyscraper serves primarily as a place to live and stay in the city center.
