Q1 is a 322.5-meter (1,058-foot) supertall residential skyscraper in Surfers Paradise on Queensland Gold Coast, Australia, designed by SDG and the Buchan Group and developed by the Sunland Group at a cost of about 255 million Australian dollars. Completed in 2005, its tapering form was inspired by the torch of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and by the sails of the Sydney Opera House, and it also carries a public observation deck. It was the tallest residential building in the world from 2005 until 2011, and it remains the tallest building in Australia and the second-tallest in the Southern Hemisphere, behind Jakarta Autograph Tower since that building completion in 2022.
