Melbourne's newest exclusive address

Designed by Cox Architects and Fender Katsalidis, the project is one of Melbourne’s most iconic projects, with the two luxury towers connected by an innovative sky bridge on level 46.

The main works commenced with one of the largest concrete pours in the city’s history - a day-long concrete raft pour covering an area of 1,000 square metres. This monumental three-metre-deep raft foundation is located on top of an existing railway tunnel and supports the new landmark mixed-use precinct.

Tower 1 is predominantly residential apartments, and Tower 2 is housing the first Shangri-La operated hotel in Melbourne.

The towers offer a world-class arrival experience from the porte cochere through to the hotel and residential lobby areas via a three-storey glazed void overlooking the World Heritage-listed exhibition building and surrounding gardens.

The project generated over 1,000 jobs during construction and initial hotel operational period; representing a significant economic impact for Victoria.
