Construction Updates

<html><body>
It's the last month of winter but that hasn't stopped Urban.com.au <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/forum/melbourne-metropolitan-regional-victoria-discussion/projects-construction">forum</a> 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.

A snapshot of Melbourne's construction - August 2018

<html><body>
Despite the short days and freezing cold mornings Urban.com.au editors and members alike have been busy documenting Melbourne's construction progress on the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/forum/melbourne-metropolitan-regional-victoria-discussion/projects-construction">forum</a>.

Many of the previous Government era developments are racing toward completion and a healthy crop of the new planning era towers are getting underway.

As always the best place to check out construction progress is through the forum, however here's an early July snapshot of some of the photos posted throughout June.

A snapshot of Melbourne's construction - July 2018

The days are now at their shortest for the year and the overnight lows dip perilously close to 0 degrees, however, construction is still powering along and our photo-taking urban.com.au forum members remain undeterred.

Here's a snapshot of the construction activity that has been captured by forum members and urban.com.au staff alike and as always, click the links that accompany each image to see more in the project forum threads.

here's a snapshot of some of the projects that are under construction, using images posted on the forum during April.
