NEW York Stock Exchange listed global IT firm Computer Sciences Corporation is the latest company to choose Melbourne's Docklands precinct over the CBD.
CSC, which is headquarter in El Segundo, California and boasts revenue of $US14.9 billion, has leased around 13,000 sqm of space at the Docklands.
CSC has signed to MAB Corporation for an initial 8,500 sqm of space that will accommodate between 700-800 employees.
CSC will consolidate its staff from three Melbourne CBD and near-city locations at the Docklands in a deal with developer Fitzpatrick Investment Pty Ltd.
The deal will see the company move staff from 570 St Kilda Road, 58-62 Queensbridge Street, Southbank as well a Collins Street property.
As well as its move in Melbourne, CSC has also consolidated its operations to a new campus-style accommodation at Coniston Park in Wollongong, Macquarie park in Sydney and Perth’s Subiaco.
And next month, the company is also opening a new campus at Mawson Lakes in Adelaide.
The Docklands precinct has become a who’s who destination for some of the biggest companies in Australia including ANZ, National Australia Bank, Myer, AXA, National Foods, Fairfax just to name a few.
And recently, French fashion school Ecole de Mode Internationale announced it will open its university in Australia at a new $300 million campus in the precinct.
When completed, the Docklands will have a development value of at least $10 billion with 40,000 workers and 20,000 residents.
