Soleil, Residential skyscraper in Brisbane, Australia

Soleil is a 68-storey residential skyscraper at 495 Adelaide Street in Brisbane, reaching 251 metres. Its dark blue-tinted glass facade is crossed by narrow white horizontal lines and a vertical band of white slats on the left edge. The building holds 464 apartments, with retail space across three levels.

The first design for the site was rejected by Brisbane City Council as appalling and a traffic-congestion risk; a revised design was approved in late June 2008. Construction began in early 2009, and the tower was officially opened by former Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and Meriton boss Harry Triguboff on 20 September 2011, though it was completed in early 2012. At 251 metres it was Brisbane's tallest until Infinity Tower (262 metres) overtook it in 2013.

The name Soleil, French for sun, was chosen by developer Meriton for this tower at 495 Adelaide Street. Its 464 apartments are split between 25 floors of serviced apartments, including 50 units in the top nine levels owned by Meriton, and 43 floors of private residences. There is no penthouse.

Soleil occupies a 1,500-square-metre corner site at 495 Adelaide Street, with rear access from Arch Lane. Its ten parking levels and three retail levels for cafes and restaurants sit below the apartments, so the tower entrance is reached from the street corner rather than the lane.

Soleil's 68 floors include 25 levels of serviced apartments and 43 levels of private residences, with 464 apartments in total and no penthouse. Meriton owns the serviced apartments, including 50 units in the top nine levels. The first design for the site was rejected by Brisbane City Council as appalling and for traffic congestion; a revised design was approved in late June 2008.
