The Queensbridge Building, at the nexus of the Melbourne CBD, South Melbourne, and the sought-after Arts Precinct, is continuing to achieve milestones in its construction.

The striking glass facade by Fraser & Partners is starting to shine from Queensbridge Street, with regarded builder Hickory in charge of the construction of the 62-level, mixed-use building which will be the only new apartment development to complete in Southbank in 2025. The last completion of a new tower was in 2022.

Developer Time & Place is bringing a rounded lifestyle offering to its future residents. Alongside the 367 one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be a 188-room Hannah St. Hotel, significant resident amenity, a two-level mezzanine lobby with co-working centre, and a convenient corner store.

The design philosophy, both in the apartments' interiors and the building's architecture, is guided by Time & Place's new concept of ‘Modern Nostalgia,’ seeking to recreate the comfort and familiarity of home within a skyscraper setting.

Interior architect David Flack handled the design style of the apartments that are designed to optimse nature light with large picture windows and integrated study nooks.

"Often you walk into an apartment, and it’s immediately clear how the designer or architect wants you to live, but not here," Flack said.

"We want you to see yourself within these spaces, and make them your home."

Each of the apartments can be customised with multiple choices of finishes rarely available to any development.

Time & Place use a unique custom lab software that also allows homeowners to view colour selections in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms.

A myriad of facilities will be accessible by Queensbridge residents, including but not limited to a co-working space, a resident dining room, gym, an outdoor lap pool, a hot house, and several wellness rooms.

Residents will also have access to an affordable car share program with Tesla vehicles

The facilities will be complemented by more public spaces like a reinterpretation of the neighbourhood corner store.

Hickory is soaring past level 50 on its way to completing the 62-level structure, with the interior fitout to follow soon after completion of the building.
