BROOKFIELD Multiplex has completed Central Equity’s $295 million residential tower Melbourne One on time.
Located at 618 Lonsdale St, the 47-level 149 metres high tower comprises 477 apartments and resident facilities including a grand foyer with concierge, gymnasium and indoor heated swimming pool.
“We are proud to deliver another residential building for Central Equity and to hand it over on time reinforcing our relationship with Central Equity,” Brookfield Multiplex regional managing director Graham Cottam said.
Cottam said complexities involved with the construction of Melbourne One include the restoration of heritage buildings on Lonsdale Street and the challenges associated with building within the busy CBD.
Originally built in 1911, the red brick warehouse was designed by architect Charles Rice for Andrew Tait, a coachbuilder and ironmonger, as his own premises. It features internal columns, very similar to the standard format for wool stores and the facade is striking, designed in an exaggerated Romanesque style with Art Nouveau detailing.
