Evolution on Gardiner

Evolution on Gardiner is a 33-story residential tower in Darwin's central business district that rises to 100 meters (328 feet). The building contains apartments, two penthouses, and commercial spaces on the ground level connected by high-speed elevators.

Planning for the project began in July 2006 but faced initial restrictions from defence authorities regarding its height. The tower was completed in July 2008 and has since become part of Darwin's skyline.

The tower stands as a symbol of Darwin's modern growth, blending residences with shops and offices on its lower levels. Locals see it as part of the city's shift toward contemporary urban living in the Northern Territory.

Remember that this is a private residential building best viewed from public areas like Gardiner Street and nearby city spaces. The exterior can be appreciated from street level and surrounding locations throughout Darwin's centre.

The tower reaches Darwin's maximum permitted height, illustrating the city's strict building regulations. These height limits were shaped by proximity to military facilities and aviation safety considerations in the region.
