MELBOURNE | Prima-Pearl | 823FT / 251M | 72 FLOORS
Well, it's been a long time coming with this, having been proposed about 6 years ago and going through a few redesigns......... IT'S FINALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Also the 200+m tower construction drought is over. originally posted by silvermb on OzScrapers http://i52.tinypic.com/4fvh2c.jpg site just about cleared - originally posted by billybanana on OzScrapers (who actually lives opposite and no doubt will be posting many more photos from that angle above) http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...a/IMG_7096.jpg |
Congrats Melbourne !
It'll be a nice 3rd tallest by roof height :) |
Nice to see one from Melbourne.
I like the design, it's very sleek. |
Melbourne's skyline keep's changing, i love it.
there are like 10-15 proposals over 200m in melbourne right? and about 3-5 currently under construction with the carlton bewery site the tallest at 298m. |
I was looking at the SSP diagram earlier today...
there's only 1 200m tower U/C The signature tower at CUB is -not- U/C in fact Grocon are looking to offload the site to another developer with the 275m permit in tact. the only other 200+m tower proposal likely to move to a U/C status soon is 568 Collins St. |
Hopefully it gets built, Australia's property market is heading for the fan.

they've been saying that for years - however when the residential vacancy is around 4% and population growth at 250k p/a many people will disagree.
In the early 2000s in Melbourne the high-rise construction was concentrated in CBD + Docklands + Southbank. It's now spread to the whole middle ring of 'burbs - so yeah big ones are taking their time, but they're not out of the game! |
give it a few years, and Melbourne will become one of the finest skyscraper cities around.
there are a few buildings under construction/approved over 200m that i have found 70 Southbank Boulevard Prima Tower 568 Collins Street 496 Elizabeth Street Abode318 and 399 Bourke Street Do you know what's happening with the CUB site? what stage is it at? |
Prima = Pearl.

CUB Site - as above, it's merely approved and Grocon are seeking a buyer of the site - the rest of the CUB site is being developed in stages, Portrait is the first one Grocon are developing. 70 Southbank Boulevard has had a height increase to 225m, and this weekend's Capital Gain in the Age said that tenants in the existing building were moving so expect sales to start on that soon. 399 Bourke Street - no design change, still waiting for a pre-commitment from a corporate. 72 Collins STreet - has been shortened I think - not sure. 568 Collins Street - construction "rumoured" to commence in July/August (has already gone through its sales cycle) 496 Elizabeth st - still no movement by the developer (Brady) as yet. btw are you on OzScrapers? http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=197 read the guide at the top of the sub-forum |

this tower's just had a height increase approved for 235m :)
whether the developer goes with it..... eh who knows. |
235m? That will make it Melbourne's 7th tallest?
|
Someone's had a height increase!

I thought that Rialto was 243 meters. It's typically listed at 792 feet.
