The new development will include residential, commercial space, offices, four cinema screens, and a roof-top cafe. One tower will contain the commercial components of the program and sit facing the Western Express Highway, shielding the separate residential tower from the busyness of the highway.&nbsp;</p> <figure><figure><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/0d/0def47cc2e6dfd0b35313ac7bd027200.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/0d/0def47cc2e6dfd0b35313ac7bd027200.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=514"></a><figcaption>Study models.</figcaption></figure></figure><p>Jesus Jimenez, director at <a href="http://whitered.co.uk/" target="_blank">White Red Architects</a>, said in a statement: &ldquo;The team at White Red Architects is excited to see our proposals for this challenging redevelopment project reach the next stage.
