Urban.com.au was in attendance yesterday as ISPT Property's $150 million mixed-use tower at 271 Spring Street achieved a key milestone, with a topping out ceremony held on the roof to celebrate the occasion.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/probuild-and-ispt-break-ground-on-australian-unitys-new-spring-street-hq">Probuild broke ground</a> on the 16-storey tower in mid-2017, with the topping out of the core occurring in an impressive 14 months, and completion slated for mid-2019.

The development has been designed by John Wardle Architects in collaboration with heritage architect Bruce Trethowan to ensure the careful integration of two historical buildings as part of the 15,600 sqm A-Grade office development for Australian Unity.

According to ISPT CEO Daryl Browning, the addition of 271 Spring Street will complete ISPT’s long-term vision for the Lonsdale precinct. 

271 Spring Street adjoins ISPT's other office towers - Casselden Place and The Urban Workshop -  which are located in one of Melbourne’s most historical precincts.

An onsite four month archaeological dig prior to construction unearthed 40,000 artefacts.

It’s been a fantastic construction period at 271 Spring Street to date. We’ve managed 10 weeks of archaeology works, built between two Citipower HV easements – we’ve also built over two live underground rail tunnels that form part of Melbourne’s city loop.

There’s not many buildings in Melbourne on top of an underground rail system. This location meant we needed to deliver a highly complex light-weight steel structure, consisting of raked feature elements and significant transfer structures to achieve the architectural vision for the project. It’s a very robust structure but light enough to not disturb the city loop below.

Probuild will now be focusing on completing an intricate façade that features 7m x 3.7m fins, and the internal fitout works for anchor tenant Australian Unity.

- Luke Stambolis, Probuild’s Victorian Managing Director
</blockquote>

The topping out of 271 Spring Street follows hot on the heels of Probuild's handover of 456 apartments within the Avant development for World Class Global, a milestone achieved three months ahead of schedule.

Probuild's delivery team for Avant was led by a young female project manager, Lorien Dalmau, who has amassed more than a decade’s experience in construction under her belt.  

Probuild’s Victorian Managing Director, Luke Stambolis expressed how proud he was of Lorien's efforts in her first stint as a project manager, and noted that she was "the only woman in Melbourne managing a 50+ storey apartment tower in the CBD right now and to top it off she’s only in her mid-30s."

Designed by Elenberg Fraser, the 167m high tower features 18,500 sqm of distinctive façade comprising custom coloured glazing and feature fins, directly procured by Probuild from premium suppliers in China.

<figcaption>Probuild has also recently handed over Avant to World Class Global. Image: Probuild</figcaption></figure>Probuild's other big build in the northern reaches of the Melbourne CBD is the 270m high Aurora Melbourne Central. The 90-storey tower's floor plate and safety screening has recently been reconfigured from a 'butterfly' geometry to a 'heart' shape for its final ascent. 

Meanwhile, the core has reached the nominal height of 260m above street level, with a further three rises before it tops out in the next month.

Looking west and Probuild's two key Spencer Street builds - West Side Place and 311 Spencer Street progress - are also making rapid progress as highlighted in the supplied aerial below. Further, Probuild notes the achievement of a key milestone for Tower 1's core, while Tower 2 edges ahead.

<blockquote>
We recently achieved a key milestone at Melbourne's West Side Place, with the successful assembly of both parts of the split core system for Tower 1. The upper portion of the core is now making its way above the boundary hoarding line, currently sitting at ground level. The floor slabs have also progressed at a rapid rate with ground level currently being being constructed. 

The jump form on Tower 2 is currently sitting at Level 6 and floor slabs are complete up to Level 1 with the first set of perimeter protection screens now installed. The structure team is now focused on design and planning for the upcoming challenges involving the multi-strand post tension transfer slabs on Level 4 and 5, and the core changeover works on Level 8.

The latest progress at West Side Place demonstrates our capabilities managing sophisticated designs and complex major projects.

Probuild tops out at 271 Spring Street

<html><body>
The western edge of Melbourne's CBD is a flurry with construction activity as a number of projects are currently underway along Spencer Street. Once derided as Melbourne's arse end, the burgeoning <a href="/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a> precinct and redevelopment of the former Spencer Street Station (remember that?) into Southern Cross Station have provided the catalyst for the Street's metamorphosis into a high-rise neighbourhood.

Developments such as Liberty Tower (Elenberg Fraser's first high-rise), Far East Consortium's multi-tower Upper West Side on the site of the former Lonsdale Street power station, and Media House amongst others have all contributed to lifting Spencer Street's profile over the last 20 years.

In more recent years the pace has really picked up with Spencer Street not only going up in terms of height but also branching out with development towards West Melbourne. With that in mind let's take a look at the current construction pipleline along Spencer Street.

The fourth and final tower within Far East Consortium's (FEC) $1b West Side Place multi-tower development has been released. Located on Spencer and Lonsdale Streets, West Side Place is directly opposite FEC's now complete Upper West Side neighbourhood.

Known as The Park Release, the 70-storey mixed-use tower follows the success of the 72-storey Gold Release fronting Lonsdale Street. The approx. 235m high building will accommodate 684 apartments and a 4-star 312 room Dorsett branded hotel, offering views across the Flagstaff Gardens.

As part of the redevelopment of the 12,000 sqm former Age site, a new laneway will be developed connecting Lonsdale St and Little Lonsdale St, providing restaurants and an extensive number of retail sites focused around a central landscaped public realm.

The Park Release features a mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments all designed to maximise natural light and completed with high-end quality fit-outs.

Residential amenities are located on levels 9 &amp; 10 and include a residential lounge, private dinning rooms, wine tasting room with wine cellar, garden terrace with BBQ facilities, rooftop cinema, virtual golf, lap pool, plunge pools, gymnasium and yoga and pilates spaces and more.

The Final Stage of West Side Place released as construction ramps up on stage 01

<html><body>
Probuild has secured the contract to build Stage One of Caydon's <a href="http://maltdistrict.caydon.com.au/">The Malt District</a> on the former Nylex site, transforming it into a mixed-use residential and commercial development that retains elements of its industrial past.

Stage One of the development, known as <a href="http://maltdistrict.caydon.com.au/coppins-corner/">Coppins Corner</a> - a historical local reference to the 1850s Richmond and Cremorne identity George Coppin – includes a split-level tower of 15 and 12-storeys, featuring 209 one, two, and three bedroom and SoHo-style apartments, with retail and hospitality located on the lower levels.

The Coppins Corner residential building was designed by Fender Katsalidis to complement adjacent heritage structures being retained in the development, including a historic Malt House to be converted into a micro-brewery and pub. Coppins Corner also features public spaces, courtyards and laneways designed by landscape architect Oculus, that will connect new and old buildings in the precinct with roads, pedestrian and bicycle paths.

Almost 50% of Coppins Corner apartments have sold, with significant interest in three-bedroom apartments from young families and empty-nesters wanting to move closer to Melbourne.

Probuild’s appointment also includes construction of a 9-storey office building on the site’s south-eastern corner. Designed by Hayball, the 8,800 sqm complex will be occupied by business software giant MYOB, whom Cayden signed on in recent months.

<blockquote>
The emerging creative office movement and Cremorne’s urban grit meld industry with commerce, expressed materially in the use of brick and glass, while the heavily bricked podium levels respond to the neighbourhood’s rich historic qualities. The design’s slender, angular form pulls away from the boundary edge on a landscaped laneway to create a heightened pedestrian experience, activated by retail tenancies at ground level.

- Hayball
</blockquote>

The announcement builds on the momentum created from a string of recent announcements about the iconic site, including the MYOB deal and permit approval received in January for Stage Two of the development involving the iconic Nylex clock and silos.

Demolition works are already well underway at the site with Probuild commencing construction in the next few months, with an expected completion date of mid-2020.

<blockquote>
Probuild’s appointment to build Coppins Corner is a significant milestone for Caydon, and the start of the transformation of what is now a derelict industrial site into a stunning place for people to live, work and visit.

We have had an enthusiastic response to the release of Coppins Corner apartments from local residents, owner-occupiers and investors, who are attracted to the area for its proximity to the CBD, the MCG and Melbourne &amp; Olympic Park sports precinct, and bustling Bridge Road and Chapel Street with their shops and restaurants.

Probuild has a reputation for quality and excellence, which is why we have worked with them on other developments, and is precisely what buyers in The Malt District will get in their apartments.

- Jarrod Stratton, Caydon Chief Operations Officer
</blockquote>

 

<blockquote>
Coppins Corner is the third project Probuild and Caydon have collaborated on, after successfully delivering two Melbourne residential towers in the past.

We know we were selected for this job on the back of our people. Our people are leaders in both residential and commercial construction; Caydon really understand how Probuild adds value through our quality benchmarks and reliability.

Another of Melbourne's expansive list of hotel and serviced apartment developments has reached completion.

Located at the western end of the expanded Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre precinct, the $150 million Novotel Melbourne South Wharf is now open for business. The distinct golden-clad tower is 26 storeys high and accommodates 347 guestrooms and suites.

Its design is a collaborative effort with Woods Bagot and NH Architecture accounting for the overall form, whilst Woods Bagot and Fender Katsalidis divided interior design duties.

Developer Capital Alliance has released new imagery of the first Marriott to be built in Australia in 20 years.

In conjunction with DKO Architecture, Capital Alliance intend for Marriott Docklands to be a showcase of contemporary hotel design. Reflective of current trends, the development is a step away from a previous generation of hotel design in that many features considered to be the norm have been superseded.

<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/image5_15.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="The Marriott's intended poolside bar.

Image: Capital Alliance" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>The Marriott's intended poolside bar. Image: Capital Alliance</figcaption></figure>The development team is positioning the new Marriott as "showcasing a design that boldly illustrates the evolution of the traditional five-star hotel for a new generation of traveller who lives, works and plays much differently." Carpet, branding and desks are on the outer with timber flooring, beds sitting atop frames and exposed joinery included.

In many ways, the new Marriott Docklands interior design mirrors the latest in luxury apartments trends, and employs a higher degree of communal spaces. The 200 rooms are supplemented by a 28-metre rooftop infinity pool and adjoining bar, a ground-level bar, restaurant and cafe, all of which are open to hotel guests, residents and the public.

Marriott International senior director development for the Australia-Pacific region Richard Crawford reinforces the design path taken by the development team. "We’ve reinvented the hotel room as we’ve found that hotel guests don’t use desks in hotel rooms, preferring to lounge on beds or sofas or work in well-designed communal spaces with a relaxed atmosphere.

Our guests do have a strong appreciation of great design and want to stay in high-end hotels that are luxurious while also reflecting the unique character of their location."

Part of a wider mixed-use development, Marriott Docklands is expected to begin construction this year with an eye toward a late 2020 completion date.

Two new Melbourne hotels flaunt their design credentials

<html><body>
UEM Sunrise along with head contractor Hickory Group recently celebrated the ‘topping out’ of Conservatory at a ceremony marking the event.

The $330 million residential building designed by COX Architecture is located on MacKenzie Street and upon practical completion will become UEM Sunrise’s first completed project in Australia since its entry into the Melbourne market during 2013.

Conservatory will also include a display comprising 477 pieces of significant artefacts discovered during the archaeological excavation stage early in the project's life, which will be available for public viewing from late September 2018.

<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/conservatory_redden.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="UEM Sunrise's Conservatory recently topped out.

<figcaption>UEM Sunrise's Conservatory recently topped out. Image: Forum member redden</figcaption></figure>The artefacts will be located in glass cases in the foyer of the building, which can be visible from Bell Place. UEM Sunrise has worked closely with Heritage Victoria and the appointed archaeological consultant to identify these artefacts, which include:

<ul>
<li>
Hidden Loot – a small revolver and bullets, together with a small leather wallet and beaded necklace, were found hidden in the Mistletoe Hotel cellar, signifying the colourful lifestyle of the hotel occupants.</li>
	<li>
Necessities – everyday items that were used by patrons at the Mistletoe Hotel to service the population boom, such as a clay pipe, ceramic egg cups, silverware, a clay pipe, fob watch, inkwells, bone handle carving knives and perfume bottles.</li>
	<li>
Gold – items from the Early Gold Rush era owned by wealthy patrons, such as a gold nugget pin.</li>
	<li>
Glasswares – a number of cognac and champagne bottles used at the hotel signify a time of extravagance.</li>
</ul>
The first stage of Conservatory apartments will be handed over to purchasers from late September 2018.

UEM Sunrise's other significant Melbourne project, Aurora Melbourne Central is racing along to its eventual height of 267m with Probuild at the helm. The core of the Elenberg Fraser designed goliath is currently sitting at level 68, just below the 200 metre mark with the first stage of apartments set to be handed over to their respective purchasers later this year.

Upon completion, Aurora will become the tallest tower within the bounds of the Hoddle Grid, eclipsed only by Southbank's Eureka Tower (297m), Australia 108 (317m) and Crown's One Queensbridge Street (323m).

<blockquote>
Hickory is very proud to be delivering a high quality, landmark project in Melbourne such as Conservatory. It will no doubt be an amazing place to live and for the owners of these luxury apartments, Hickory will help maintain the quality for years to come, not unlike the servicing of a new luxury car.

As a first in the industry, we will be on hand to ensure that owners protect their most valuable asset and keep their apartments operating efficiently into the future.

- Michael Argyrou, Managing Director of Hickory
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Conservatory marks an important piece of history for UEM Sunrise – it’s the next step for us in fulfilling our promise of delivering quality, luxury projects in Australia, with Aurora Melbourne Central set to be handed over to purchasers from Q3 2018 onwards and site works of <a href="/new-apartments/the-mayfair-412-st-kilda-road-melbourne">Mayfair</a> commencing this year.

Conservatory is an integral part of Melbourne’s history, too. Before construction began, we engaged an archaeological consultant for an archaeological excavation of the site. They uncovered over 250,000 artefacts, dating back to the early gold rush in the 1800s when the site was the Mistletoe Hotel.

Fittingly, these items reflect an opulent time when Melbourne’s population was bourgeoning, and settlement started to take shape.

Conservatory similarly represents a new era of population growth and will service Melbournians with luxury accommodation options, boasting views over the Carlton Gardens and lavish amenities such as a rooftop jacuzzi, private cinema and golf simulator

-  Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib, UEM Sunrise Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer

UEM Sunrise's Conservatory tops out; Aurora approaches the 200 metre mark

Golden Age Group has recently launched the website for its Sky Garden Residences, to be developed above airspace as part of The Glen redevelopment project. City of Monash initially approved plans for the $500 million redevelopment of The Glen shopping centre in Glen Waverley in 2015.

Key features of The Glen redevelopment include:

<ul>
<li>an expansion of the retail centre across the existing car park in Springvale Road, Glen Waverley</li>
	<li>three apartment towers above the retail podium, with the highest being 20-storeys</li>
	<li>a new public square at the entrance to the shopping centre, with cafes and restaurants creating a cosmopolitan connection between Kingsway and The Glen.</li>
</ul>
In November 2016, Council approved an amended permit for the residential towers at 235 Springvale Rd, Glen Waverley which was once again amended and approved in January 2018. 

Key aspects of the proposed amendments relate to modification of the overall massing, layout and mix of residential apartments of Building A, (Signature Building), B (Urban Building) and Building C (Kingsway Axial Building). 

Each building will increase in overall height by 1m and will adopt a new facade treatment to what was originally approved.

The revised plans prepared by RotheLowman include an additional 89 car spaces and the provision of 555 apartments across the three towers comprising of: 

<ul>
<li>127 x 1 bedroom apartments; </li>
	<li>371 x 2 bedroom apartments; and </li>
	<li>57 x 3 bedroom apartments. </li>
</ul>

<figcaption>Sky Gardens as the name suggests has 4,000 sqm of communal open space. Image : skygardenresidences.com.au</figcaption></figure>A large part of the project's appeal according to Golden Age Group is the 4,000 sqm of open space across the three towers and the views on offer from within, which encompass the Dandenong Ranges and the Bay.

The new residences will also take advantage of their position within the newly revitalised shopping and entertainment precinct of The Glen Shopping Centre.

<ul></ul>
The first stage of the redevelopment of The Glen - the Fresh Food Market Hall - opened in September 2017 and is located on the lower ground level offering a wide choice and variety of fresh produce and specialty ingredients in one location.

The Fresh Food Market Hall features an ALDI, latest format Woolworths, Coles and 60 boutique food retailers and specialty stores.

Vicinity Centre's redevelopment of The Glen will occur across five stages spanning three years which will create a new 'town square' with dining over two levels, new mini-majors, a fresh food market hall and 240+ select stores on completion. The five stages of the redevelopment are summarised below.

Sky Garden residences launched as construction progresses on The Glen

<html><body>
There’s been a flurry of activity at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre’s (MCEC) $200 million expansion site, with remarkable progress being made during throughout the latter stages of 2017.

Designed by Woods Bagot and NH Architecture for the Victorian Government’s partner in the project, Plenary Group, the expansion will maintain the built quality and delegate experience at the existing MCEC and maintain its leading benchmark status in the Asia-Pacific region.

The 20,000 square metres expansion includes 9,000 square metres of flexible, multi-purpose event space, new exhibition halls, additional meeting rooms, a banquet room and the Goldfields Café and Bar. Once completed, the new space will cement MCEC’s position as the largest convention and exhibition space in Australia, with an increased total size of over 70,000 square metres. 

<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/nmsw_pedlink-e1501501409374.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="How the completed MCEC Expansion and Novotel will look.

Image : Supplied" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>How the completed MCEC Expansion and Novotel will look. Image : Supplied</figcaption></figure>Set to open mid-year, the new space has been architecturally designed to provide customers with more options for any event type; from meetings and conferences through to educational seminars or gala dinners. A multi-purpose space will have retractable seating for up to 1,100 people; service pods, meeting rooms and informal meeting spaces.

There will also be a large concourse and a banquet room with capacity to cater for up to 450 people. 
Probuild will have the construction programme to a point whereby as of late this month the installation of the central staircase, distinctive gold exterior panels and a skylight over the new foyer space will be in place.  
MCEC took inspiration from Victoria’s rich history in determining names for key spaces within its expansion. The greatest inspiration came from the gold colour of the expansion’s exterior, culminating in Victoria’s goldfields becoming the theme from which names would be drawn.  
From the Goldfields Theatre, Sovereign Room, Eureka Rooms and Goldfields Café and Bar, the names link to the goldfields of Victoria’s past having been a place for people to gather along with a period of new opportunities, ideas, prosperity and grandeur.

<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/img_4997.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Construction progress during January"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="902" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/img_4997.jpg?itok=lkCPYjLx" title="Construction progress during January" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Construction progress during January</figcaption></figure>The works are part of a larger South Wharf expansion project that includes a new 347-room Novotel Melbourne South Wharf and a new 1,150-space multi-level car park – all fully connected and integrated with existing buildings. The multi-level car park is complete, and the new hotel will open in March.

The expansion will include: more meeting rooms, a gala ballroom, 6 new exhibition bays, retractable theatre, courtyard meeting rooms, outdoor terrace and a new cafe and bar.

Access to the new exhibition hall will be via the new concourse or the new central hub space, which will be the dynamic focal point of this new precinct. Linked to both the existing exhibition centre concourse and the main plenary foyer this exciting new hub space will be the place for people to meet and connect.

As the first convention centre in the world to be awarded a 6-Star Green Star environmental rating, sustainability remains at the core of Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre’s (MCEC) business priorities. Over the past two years the venue has decreased energy consumption in the Exhibition Centre by 30 per cent, due to the introduction of ecological and sustainable infrastructure.  
  
The venue has invested in a new CO2 monitoring system, variable speed drives, energy efficient chillers, an energy management system and are currently trialling LED lights in the Exhibition Centre bays to further reduce energy usage. 

Although the venue is set to grow by 25 per cent when the expansion project reaches completion in mid-2018, MCEC is working to ensure its carbon emissions don’t increase through sourcing power from renewable energy.

<h2>WHAT THEY SAY</h2>

<blockquote>
 
We want to ensure our facilities suit the needs of our customers, rather than constraining them to fit within our space. A multi-purpose area with a retractable 1,000 seat theatre and adaptable meeting rooms are just two of the many flexible features throughout the new building.

Before we have even cut the ribbon, we have 220 events confirmed for our new expansion space, commencing at mid-2018. I look forward to officially opening the new space later this year.

- Peter King, MCEC Chief Executive
</blockquote>

 

<blockquote>
Our expansion is an absolute game changer – we’re talking three and a half MCGs of new space to attract more events and thousands more visitors to Victoria. Not only will this redevelopment boost tourism, it will also create more than 900 new jobs and provide a massive boost to our local economy each year.

- Victorian Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Hon. John Eren

MCEC Expansion on target for mid-year opening

Located at 54 A'beckett Street, the 55-storey Avant has topped out months ahead of schedule, with builder Probuild citing its use of its innovative construction methodology – The Probuild Construction System (PCS) -  as a key factor in achieving this significant milestone.

Designed by Elenberg Fraser for Singaporean developer World Class Global, Avant will upon completion feature 456 residential apartments comprising a mix of one, two and three bedrooms.

The 167m high tower boasts 18,500m2 of distinctive façade with custom coloured glazing and feature diagrid fins that envelop the entire building. Currently installed to level 51, this façade was directly procured by Probuild from premium suppliers in China.

<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/cam066_20180207_19_01_49.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Webcam photo of the now topped-out Avant.

Image : Probuild" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Webcam photo of the now topped-out Avant. Image : Probuild</figcaption></figure><blockquote>
We’re delivering a lot of the future Melbourne skyline right now. With so many high-rise projects on the go, you develop expertise and get very efficient at what you do.

The PCS is our efficiency methodology borrowed from the automotive industry. They’ve been doing this for years. We’re currently in development linking our supply chain system, with IOT monitoring and digital payment system both integrated. It’s a very exciting time in construction.

“The level of efficiency we’re seeing at Avant is equally impressive. PCS has again enabled us to top out months ahead of schedule, and it’s looking like we’ll be handing over to our client World Class Global well in advance as well. 

 - Probuild Victorian Managing Director, Luke Stambolis
</blockquote>

Avant joins a growing suite of other towers delivered or under construction by Probuild in the northern CBD including MY80, its sister building Empire, Victoria One and Aurora Melbourne Central, which will become the tallest tower in the Melbourne CBD.

Architects Elenberg Fraser describe the tower's lace-like facade as reminiscent of fishnets, with the colour of the glazing inspired by their client's family jewellery business. The tower's corners are also chamfered within each facade segment, emphasising the lattice's pattern while also addressing wind concerns. With the neighbouring MY80 building in close proximity, directional fins have been applied to provide privacy while still maintaining views out.

<blockquote>
We weren’t afraid to bring logic to the foreground of Avant – our new slender, 55 storey residential tower on A’Beckett Street. The structural elements that govern the building’s massing are articulated through a geometric pattern spread across the building’s surface.

This distinctive façade clearly shows the structural density is compressed into the base of the building, stretching out to the top. But Avant has a softer side as well: the lace-like exo skeleton and chamfered corners create a delicate fishnet effect – our formula? Super structure + super graphic = super surface.

There is even a story behind the vivid violet glazing – a nod to the heritage of the developer World Class Land and their parent company Aspial, whose family jewellery business patented the precious alloys to create purple gold.

- Elenberg Fraser
</blockquote>

Probuild is scheduled to hand over 203 apartments, up to level 29 this month before handing over the remaining 253 apartments – along with three levels of residential communal amenities - to Wold Class Global in mid-2018.

Sage Hotel Ringwood, located at Eastland Shopping Centre opened its doors on Tuesday 10 October becoming the first hotel in Victoria to be developed atop a shopping centre.

The new 120-room, full-service hotel spans five floors above the shopping centre and includes a restaurant, bar, conference and co-working facilities comprising of a boardroom, function room and a co-working space with a capacity of 80 people.

The hotel was delivered under a design and construct contract for QIC, following Probuild’s completion of the $500M+ Eastland Shopping Centre Redevelopment in 2016.

<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/eastland_hotel.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="The Sage Hotel bar at Eastland.

<figcaption>The Sage Hotel bar at Eastland. Image: Probuild</figcaption></figure>Probuild’s September handover allowed Next Story Group four weeks of preparation to ensure a smooth opening day and first-class experience for guests. 

<blockquote>
We’re incredibly proud to have delivered Victoria’s first retail destination hotel. We’re building a number of large-scale luxury hotels around the country, including The Ritz Carlton in Melbourne and Perth and The Star Gold Coast. It’s been fantastic to combine this and our mixed-use experience with a project such as Sage Hotel Ringwood.

- Probuild Victorian Managing Director, Luke Stambolis.
</blockquote>

QIC GRE and Next Story Group will be teaming up once again on the $800 million 80 Collins Street project which will feature a 300-room NEXT hotel and is currently under construction. This presents Next Story's second foray into the Melbourne hotel scene following on from Sage.

Meanwhile, Probuild will be keeping busy having recently been awarded the contract for the first stage of Far East Consortium's West Side Place project at 250 Spencer Street, the site of the former Age building.

The first stage of the $1bn project will deliver 1376 apartments across two towers, as well as the tallest hotel in the southern hemisphere - the 263 room Ritz-Carlton hotel which will rise to a height of 270m.

<blockquote>
This Victorian project is one of unprecedented scale and ambition, not just for Probuild but for Melbourne. West Side Place will be an exemplary project for generations to come.

-  Luke Stamboulis
</blockquote>

Probuild will commence preparatory works on West Side Place immediately, with construction anticipated to commence in November this year. West Side Place is scheduled for completion in 2022.
