Home Southbank - 256-260 City Road, Southbank

<html><body>
Melbourne's Southbank represents nearly 30 years of development which has transformed industrial land on the banks of the Yarra River into a thriving suburb and this shows no signs of abating anytime soon.

The next five years will see an even more dramatic transformation as Southbank not only reaches for the sky but sets its focus to the street and improving the quality of the pedestrian environment.

Significant developments such as some of Australia's tallest buildings in Australia 108 (319m) One Queensbridge Street and (323m) Southbank by Beulah (360m) will join Eureka Tower (297m) in producing a dramatic cluster of buildings.

As part of stage 1 of its Melbourne Square development, OSK Property will deliver a new 3,700 sqm sloping public park which will occupy more than 20 per cent of overall site. Upon completion Melbourne Square will comprise six towers including an office and hotel, Southbank's first full line supermarket, and childcare and health services.

A currently vacant site which hosts the Testing Ground pop-up at 1 City Road, will also become the home of a new hub for the precinct. 

The hub will house the Australia Performing Arts Gallery, an expanded Australian Music Vault, administrative, education and research facilities, and a new centre for small-to-medium and independent arts organisations.

18,000 square metres of new and expanded open space will be added to Southbank via an elevated park at the Southbank Boulevard end linking Princes Bridge down through the precinct to a new linear park on Southbank Boulevard.

<figcaption>Southbank Arts Precinct transformation.

The Southbank Boulevard transformation project which will be undertaken in stages will create 2.5 hectares of new public open space on Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street, with the first stage expected to take 18-months to complete.

Upon completion the project will provide Southbank, which is Melbourne’s most densely populated suburb with much needed public open space.

Southbank Development Overview August 2018

<html><body>
The development team behind Southbank's Monarch Tower have positioned the new project at the higher end of the apartment market, far from some of the projects which surround the mixed-use development.

Representatives of Altus Development, Moull Murray Architects and Bella Charlton recently spoke with Urban.com.au prior to the project's launch, discussing the all-encompassing task of positioning the permium tower in a location where distingiushing one project from another can be difficult.

Post securing the site, Moull Murray Architects were tasked with refashioning the tower whilst remaining within the approved envelope. With the majority of projects nearby appearing as generic blocks, a high degree of variation was employed over Monarch Tower's facade, moving it aesthetically beyond its neighbours.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image66_2.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Monarch Tower hero perspective.

<figcaption>Monarch Tower hero perspective. Image: Altus Development</figcaption></figure><blockquote>
The new architectural treatment, reinforces the tall, slender nature of the approved development envelope with an emphasis on vertical forms. The proportions of the tower have been treated In the classic sky-scraper tradition of a base, middle tower, and expressed top.

The podium utilises a grid framework to set up visually scaleable proportions that relate to the streetscape as well as the pattern overlaid on the tower facade. The podium is veneered with apartments on both frontages to reinforce a sense of human interaction with the public realm.
<cite>Moull Murray Architects</cite>
</blockquote>

Adding to Monarch Tower's stocks is the addition of serviced apartment operator Pan Pacific which will operate 130 five-star suites, situated over the lower 19 levels of the project. Not only does the addition of Pan Pacific provide Monarch Tower with a renowned worldwide operator, it also allowed for the expansion of communal areas and facilities within the building.

A pool deck including a fully-equipped gym, cinema, tranquil health spa, outdoor BBQ entertainment terrace and virtual golf range will service both typical apartments and the Pan Pacific suites. The development team also made note of Monarch Tower's proximity to Crown and the Southbank Entertainment Precinct, with either a short walk away.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image67_2.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Amenities finished to a high standard.

<figcaption>Amenities finished to a high standard. Image: Altus Development</figcaption></figure>Premier apartments within Monarch Tower will have exclusive access to the 6-star Sovereign Lounge featuring a bar, spa, sauna, steam room and gym, plus unimpeded views toward the CBD.

Whilst the previously approved plans allowed for one and two bedroom apartments to the tower's summit, Altus Development has completely repositioned Monarch Tower to capture the premium apartment market. Set over the upper 43 levels, total apartment numbers within the project have fallen to 294.

Levels 51 through 58 will include adaptable penthouse and sub penthouse plans, capable of being reworked to a prospective buyer's their needs. Included is the opportunity to create a double-storey, super-sized loft.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image63_4.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Artist's impression of a penthouse living area.

<figcaption>Artist's impression of a penthouse living area. Image: Altus Development</figcaption></figure>Quizzed on Monarch Tower's interest prior to launch, Bella Charlton's Valentino Spyriadis divulged a number of reservations have been taken for apartments, with those to be firmed once the project officially heads to sales.

Further all penthouses within Monarch Tower will be held for the local market, with the high-end stock considered essential to the project's marketing perception and eventual place in the Southbank market. This is in line with the development team positioning Monarch Tower at the owner-occupier and premium investor.

The launch of Monarch Tower coincides with the firming of a head construction contractor for Docklands' Altus Tower, which follows a similar model to that of Monarch Tower. With a new PARKROYAL and private apartments headlining the Docklands project, Altus Development expect the high-end duo will spearhead their Melbourne development pipeline.

Distinguishing oneself on Southbank as Monarch Tower enters the fray

<html><body>
Touched upon by Urban.com.au <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/taller-projects-and-better-design-outcomes-on-southbank">last week</a>, Southbank is set to receive a new skyscraper in the form of a refashioned City Road mixed-use building. Moull Murray Architects are the design practice behind the project, teaming with Altus Development once more after the rapidly expanding Clayton-based developer secured the 1,265sqm site.

Appearing initially on Urban.com.au during 2013, the scheme for the then <a href="/buildings/home-southbank-256-260-city-road-southbank">256-260 City Road</a> was the work of Hayball for proponent Apex Vic Pty Ltd. Under the initially approved scheme 431 apartments were included within a $120 million project, with 104 car spaces and 215 bicycle spaces in tow.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/cam_02_low_res_copy-1.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="A new City Road landmark.

<figcaption>A new City Road landmark. Image courtesy Moull Murray Architects</figcaption></figure><h2>Design statement</h2>

Urban.com.au spoke with Moull Murray Architects Director, Andrew Murray, regarding 258 City Road with the following project description offered:

<blockquote>
The new architectural treatment, designed by Moull Murray Architects, reinforces the tall, slender nature of the approved development envelope with an emphasis on vertical forms.

The proportions of the tower have been treated in the classic skyscraper proportions of a base, middle tower, and expressed top. The podium utilises a grid framework to set up visually scaleable proportions that relate to the streetscape, in addition to the pattern overlaid over the tower.

The podium is also veneered with apartments on both frontages to reinforce a sense of human interaction with the public realm.

The building is a mix of serviced apartments up to level 18, with private apartments above, served with independent foyer and lifts.
<cite>Andrew Murray, Moull Murray Architects</cite>
</blockquote>

Still at 193 metres to parapet, the tower has been given a sharper exterior relative to its predecessor, with a higher degree of articulation introduced over the facade. Solid elements to the western facade have been introduced, with a <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/two-giants-round-out-central-equitys-massive-development-pipeline">planning application for a similarly sized tower</a> under assessment for the immediate western site.

Spanning 62 levels, the initial 18 levels will be dedicated to 130 one and two bedroom serviced apartments operated by Pan Pacific Hotels Group, the second such venture between developer and hotel operator. Thereafter 323 private apartments will round out the tower consisting of one and two bedroom options, with penthouse dwellings configured as three bedrooms absorbing the highest 12 levels.

258 City Road's mixed-use nature also allows for a multitude of facilities within the building. Ground floor will see all day dining with meeting rooms above, while the podium top pool deck with hold a gym, cinema, health spa and outdoor BBQ entertainment area and terrace bar.

The project is expected to be released during the first quarter of 2016.

In further news Moull Murray's initial design for Altus Development will proceed to construction after a lengthy pause in proceedings. Dubbed Altus Tower and located within Docklands, the 37 level building will see 266 PARKROYAL-designated hotel suites and 331 residential apartments included.

<figcaption>The Altus is a go in the new year. Images courtesy Moull Murray</figcaption></figure>After a ground breaking ceremony held during October 2014, the site has seen little action since. A start on works is now expected in the new year with a build time of roughly 24 months for the project, meaning the opening of PARKROYAL Melbourne will be at least one year behind the initially anticipated completion date.

In addition to Altus Tower, Probuild will also undertake works on 258 City Road according to the developer's website.

Moull Murray unveil a striking new 258 City Road

<html><body>
The Southbank development scene is forever in a state of flux, with last week no exception. News has flowed through concerning three of postcode 3006's biggest and best high rise projects, with all three demonstrating a high level of design ability relative to their stubby neighbours.

Surrounded by a host of smaller residential towers (some of which have little to no aesthetic design merit), 258 City Road, 93-119 Kavanagh Street and Australia 108 at 70 Southbank Boulevard are set to further enhance the look of Southbank. While looks are one thing, 93-119 Kavanagh Street in particular is set to fundamentally change the feel of its surrounding street level public domain; a boost for what is currently an unappealing and underutilised area.

A brief overview events of the past week reads as follows:

<h2>258 City Road</h2>

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/alt2343_cam_01.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Altus Developments' new City Road endeavour."><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="237" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/alt2343_cam_01.jpg?itok=jkAwH6kg" title="Altus Developments' new City Road endeavour." width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Altus Developments' new City Road endeavour.</figcaption></figure>Altus Developments has unveiled itself as the developer behind <a href="/buildings/home-southbank-256-260-city-road-southbank">256-260 City Road</a>. Moved on by Apex Vic Pty Ltd who gained approval for the skyscraper, the site is now set to host a 190 metre plus mixed use tower with a development value in the vicinity of $330 million.

12 levels of penthouses will crown the tower which was initially designed by Hayball and has since seen exterior adjustments to its appearance, resulting in a edgier design outcome. In addition Pan Pacific Hotels Group have committed to 130 serviced apartments within the project according to the developers website, with the balance set to be sold as private dwellings.

Probuild has been secured as the builder while Bella Charlton will handle project sales; identical to the team which Altus Developments put in place for their initial Melbourne high rise within Docklands.

<h2>93-119 Kavanagh Street</h2>

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image49_2.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Kavanagh Street is set for some activation"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="301" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image49_2.jpg?itok=s2618pGL" title="Kavanagh Street is set for some activation" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Kavanagh Street is set for some activation</figcaption></figure>Arguably Southbank's most impressive development in waiting, 93-119 Kavanagh Street has taken a leap toward approval. Last night the Future Melbourne (Planning) Committee sat with the knowledge that Melbourne City Council planners have recommended the six tower project for approval..

Subject to conditions sought by Melbourne City Council planners, the $1.15 billion project championed by Malaysian firm PJ Development Holdings is one step closer to replacing a long vacant block. Planning Minister Richard Wynne will have the final say regarding approval, although a green light from Melbourne City Council tends to be a very good indicator in the current environment.

93-119 Kavanagh Street's numbers are impressive: <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/southbank-set-to-gain-a-new-park">7,000sqm of open space</a>, 2,610 dwellings, 59,000sqm of commercial office space, 687 hotel suites, 10,090sqm of leasable retail space and 894 podium car parking spaces.

<h2>Australia 108 officially commences construction</h2>

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image48_2.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Australia 108 is on the rise.

Image courtesy genesis" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Australia 108 is on the rise. Image courtesy genesis</figcaption></figure>Although equipment has been onsite for some time, yesterday marked the official launch of construction for the city's tallest building. The 319 metre Australia 108 will be delivered over five stages, with the final stage of the $500 plus build slated for delivery during 2020.

<blockquote>
This is a major milestone for the southern hemisphere’s tallest building, which will go where no development has ever gone before. The construction process will be complex, which is why we are proud to be working with Brookfield Multiplex – arguably Australia’s most experienced skyscraper builders.
<cite>Koh Wee Seng, Aspial CEO</cite>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Our appointment follows a fruitful Early Contractor Involvement process with World Class Land where we were able to build a partnership during the planning phase of the project and achieve the project deliverables. We look forward to successfully constructing this landmark tallest tower in the southern hemisphere for World Class Land.
<cite>Graham Cottam, Brookfield Multiplex Regional Managing Director</cite>
</blockquote>

<h2>Comment</h2>

It didn't seem all that long ago that Southbank received Planning Scheme Amendment C171 which cemented mandatory buildings heights in some areas, discretionary separation distances between towers and urban design provisions among other changes. At the time it was expected that the amendment would provide a more uniform tower height across Southbank.

Mercifully height variations have remained and many of the recent taller Southbank proposals are far superior in design and aesthetics to the earlier generic shorter Southbank 'boxes'. I suspect I am in the minority but a well designed tall tower should always usurp a squat, poorly designed building that adheres to a set height limit.

<a href="/new-apartments/elysium-54-clarke-street-southbank">Elysium</a> below is the prime example. Derided by Lord Major Robert Doyle as far too tall for its location, it is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of design ingenuity and quality. Elysium along with the three towers outlined above and projects such as Crown's <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/one-queensbridge-street-1-23-queensbridge-street-southbank">Queensbridge Tower</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/38-freshwater-place-southbank">38 Freshwater Place</a> maintain both height and exceedingly good design

Sometimes, just sometimes, height is not the devil it is made out to be.
