Melbourne Quarter lodges plans for final commercial tower

Lendlease has lodged development plans for Melbourne Quarter’s third commercial tower, Two Melbourne Quarter, at 697 Collins Street.

The 25 levels office tower has been designed by architects Woods Bagot and will target a 6 star Green Star rating and a 5 star NABERS energy rating.

When built it will feature 49,000sqm of total office space and around 800sqm of additional retail space.

Mark Menhinnitt, Lendlease’s Managing Director for Urban Regeneration said the precinct has received strong interest to date due to its pivotal location on Collins Street and its close connectivity to Southern Cross Station. 

“As we enter a new age of workplace productivity, tenants want to attract and retain the best and brightest industry talent with offices that deliver a range of workplace and wellbeing amenities including end-of-trip facilities, meeting pods, business lounges and family-friendly childcare services,” he said. 

“Melbourne Quarter’s integrated commercial towers will showcase a leading architectural design set amongst the precinct’s tranquil, technology-enabled outdoor working spaces, with a strong focus on green initiatives, access to the city’s first elevated Skypark and retailers to support a better work life balance.”

When completed, The Melbourne Quarter precinct will offer approximately 130,000sqm of agile and flexible office space for more than 12,000 employees.
