[2] An earlier incarnation of a building on this site was a development on 160-182 Church Street in Parramatta conceived in July 2012, when plans were released for a 215 metres (705 ft) tall skyscraper of 65 storeys.

The new proposal would include a 336 metres (1,102 ft) tall skyscraper with 88 storeys, comprising 700 residential apartments, a 150-room hotel and retail space.

[9] These reports came only a few months after it was confirmed that Melbourne's Australia 108 initial supertall proposal would be shelved following concerns by CASA, despite the approval of State Government planning for the building.

[11] In October 2014, Parramatta council submit a proposal to the City Centre Planning Framework Review to remove the existing building height limit.

In conjunction with the announcement of Walker's appointment, it was revealed the tower would have to be reduced to 68 storeys, and a height of 230 m (755 ft), in order to abide by aviation guidelines.

During construction, several archaeological discoveries were made, including a convict graveyard under what is now the south side of 6 Parramatta Square dating from the early 19th century.
