It's the last month of winter but that hasn't stopped Urban.com.au forum members from contributing their photos to the forum.

There are some notable completions this month, especially up in Brunswick where the intersection of Brunswick Road and Lygon Street has been completely transformed.

In the CBD, Collins House - notable due to its tiny footprint yet respectable height of just under 200 metres - is progressing well above the neighbouring buildings.

As always, don't forget to click on the project names to view more construction images on the forum.
