Queens Place takes out Residential High Rise Development award at 2022 Asia Pacific Property Awards
Developer 3L Alliance has picked up the highly-coveted Residential High Rise Development award at the 2022 Asia Pacific Property Awards for its recently completed Queens Place Tower 1 in Melbourne.
The award was officially presented at the 2022 Asia Pacific Property Awards ceremony held in London.
Known as the largest, most prestigious, and widely recognised awards program, the Asia Pacific Property Awards are judged by an independent panel of over 80 industry experts with criteria spanning design, quality, service, innovation, originality, and commitment to sustainability.
Completed in January, 2022 by leading global construction company, Multiplex, Queens Place Tower 1 is the first residential tower in 3L Alliance’s $1 billion landmark mixed-use development in Melbourne’s CBD.
Prominently located at 350 Queen Street at the verge of Flagstaff Hill, the development comprises 819 apartments within a tower spanning 80 levels set above a six-level commercial and retail podium. Once complete, Queens Place will be the tallest twin skyscrapers in Australia.
“Queens Place began with a vision to create an authentic site response for one of the most coveted locations in Melbourne’s CBD, and almost five years later, now stands as a compelling architectural statement that many residents are now proud to call home," 3L Alliance Chief Executive Arthur Williams says.
3L Alliance is honoured that our vision for Queens Place has been recognized on an international stage – not only for its’ stature and scale, but also for its’ purposeful ground level activation, which has contributed to the distinct local character and lifestyle by introducing vibrant new site links and public open spaces."
Designed by Cox Architecture, Fender Katsalidis, Queens Place features 6,000 square metres of commercial office space, a retail precinct, a public plaza with a laneway, and luxurious lifestyle amenities such as private cinemas, library, poker and mahjong room, private garden terraces, karaoke suite and resident gym.
Queens Place also comprises exclusive double-height amenities on Levels 51 and 52, including a pool, spa, sauna, dining rooms and exclusive resident lounge with views over the Melbourne CBD skyline.
The building’s striking aesthetic required meticulous attention to detail, with Multiplex installing several hundred architecturally designed fins, a signature feature of the design.
The distinct curtain wall façade of Queens Place includes over 11,000 custom-made façade panels, while a custom anodised aluminium ‘Lantern’ roof screen on Level 80 provides another unique feature for the precinct.
The main feature lobby entrance contains over 2,000 individual anodised aluminium extrusion light fittings along with crafted Italian marble stone slabs on the walls and columns.
