| Quayside Tower |
 The Developers of Quayside Tower originally planned to utilise the ground floor section of the apartments for retail and commercial purposes. Through the planning process however, the Durban Point's Design Review Committee, in consultation with the Developers, recommended that this section of the deep water canal should remain exclusively “residential”. The available “bulk” that originally allowed for the retail sections have now been transformed into a unique duplex apartment “tower”. The Quayside Tower will stand on the southern side of the existing lift tower and will occupy the internal space of the Boulevard’s courtyard, with views to the East back toward the harbour entrance. The “Quayside Tower” will be accessed by way of a skywalk linking the lift tower to the lower floor of the apartments. |
