Spirit, also known as Iluka, is an residential skyscraper currently under construction on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Upon completion, it will become the tallest building in Australia to roof, and the second tallest building overall (surpassed by the nearby Q1).

Proposed in 2015, the project was developed by Forise Investments and designed by DBI Design Pty Ltd.[1] With a height of 297.8 metres (977 ft), Spirit will become the second-tallest building in Australia overall, behind the nearby Q1, as well as the tallest building to roof, surpassing the Eureka Tower in Melbourne by 50 centimetres.[2]

Spirit will comprise 693 residential apartments, across 89 levels, and will further include 6 basement levels.[3][4] The AUD$1.2 billion skyscraper received planning approval by the Gold Coast City council in September 2015, with construction commencing as early as March 2016, and finish by 2019.[5]
