A dozen COVID-19 infections have emerged at the Melbourne residential high-rise tower construction site.
The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) notified construction company Multiplex of 12 cases at the Multiplex Premier Apartments site at 134-160 Spencer St, Melbourne.
Construction at the $315 million Premier Tower in Melbourne has been halted following the emergence of the COVID-19 cases. Multiplex management and the unions involved have agreed to a full site shut down.
The site has undergone a ‘hospital grade’ clean.
Multiplex recently celebrated the topping out of the 79-level Fragrance Group tower that will have 172 hotel rooms plus 796 apartments that replaced the Savoy Tavern.

The building that stands at 246m above the Spencer and Bourke street corner saw some 35,000 cubic metres of concrete poured.
It had secured 60% off the plan pre-sales in its 2015 stage one launch with a selection of one bedroom, one bedroom-plus-study and two bedroom configurations.
Around half went to offshore buyers seemingly galvanised by the new Victorian Government stamp duty on foreign buyers that began July 1.  
There will also be a boutique hotel housed in the podium levels hosting 175 rooms.

The Brunswick house made famous when Beyonce visited to film her 2013 music video No Angel has been sold pre-auction.
It has had a complete renovation in recent times.
The price has not been disclosed but it listed with a price guide of $1.2 million to $1.3 million.
It reportedly fetched between $1.1 million and $1.2 million.
The previous, elderly owner was paid $300 for the film shoot at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-brunswick-133273142" target="_blank">20 Beith Street</a>.
The house was listed and sold for $650,000 in 2016 to the current owner, who had it listed through Carl Sacco of Nelson Alexander Brunswick.
It features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a contemporary kitchen with Smeg appliances, plus a bluestone-paved courtyard.

No curves yet but the facade of the new Melbourne apartment development Premier Tower is beginning to emerge.
Its distinctly curved architectural design was advised as being inspired by US pop singer Beyonce.
It had secured 60% off the plan pre-sales in its 2015 stage one launch with a selection of one bedroom, one bedroom-plus-study and two bedroom configurations.
Around half went to offshore buyers seemingly galvanised by the new Victorian Government stamp duty on foreign buyers that began July 1.  
The Singaporean property magnate Koh Wee Meng and his family will keep a suite of apartments at the very top of the high-rise CBD tower that his Fragrance Group is developing.
<a href="http://www.premiertower.com.au" target="_blank">Premier Tower</a> is a mixed-use tower located at the corner of Spencer Street and Bourke Streets, opposite Southern Cross Station consisting of 780 residential apartments over 68 levels.
It replaces the Savoy Tavern on Spencer Street.

There will also be a boutique hotel housed in the podium levels hosting 175 rooms. 
“We are excited to be launching our first Melbourne development project and are thrilled with the strong response from the market in these early stages,” Fragrance Group's Adrian Lim said in a press release issued by Colliers International.
The Elenberg Fraser-designed project is being marketed by Colliers International.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/1/11/Beyonce%203.jpg" alt="">
Residential amenities will include grand ground level entry foyer, swimming pool, gym, residential lounges, concierge services, a garden lounge, outdoor fitness zone, sauna and steam room, games and golf area and fully equipped catering kitchens.
Premier apartment residents will also have access to the Premier Club and other exclusive amenities such as a library, private dining rooms and kitchen facilities, a theatre, billiard room and karaoke and media room.

The company media release officially said: "For those more on the art than science side, we will reveal that the form does pay homage to something more aesthetic – we're going to trust you've seen the music video for Beyonce's Ghost." 
Since the headline grabbing press release unveiling its curvaceous computer-generated image in 2015, the developer made a significant admission.
Koh Wee Meng, the executive chairman of Singapore-listed Fragrance Group, is not a Beyonce fan.
In fact, Singapore’s 26th richest person, hadn’t even seen Ghost, the video clip with a stocking-clad, writhing superstar that inspired the bootylicious building design.
“No,” Dr Koh said starkly, when asked by Nine Entertainment if he was a fan of the US singer.
Reade Dixon, the lead architect on the project also said at its 2015 sod turning that the building did not set out to mimic the former Destiny’s Child lead singer.
“It’s not conceptually conceived out of the Beyonce position,” said Mr Dixon, a principal of architecture firm Elenberg Fraser.
“It uses the fluid curves in the corners of the building to disseminate the wind. That’s the key challenge to build height in such small sites. It’s just that there’s been lots of carry forward with that relationship to Beyonce.”

Fragrance Group's Beyonce inspired tower emerges on Spencer Street 

<html><body>
<div class="cT-imageLandscape">
The landmark Melbourne apartment development Premier Tower has secured 60% off the plan pre-sales in its stage one launch last month with a selection of one bedroom, one bedroom-plus-study and two bedroom configurations. Around half went to offshore buyers seemingly galvanised by the new Victorian Government stamp duty on foreign buyers that began July 1.  
Premier Tower is an eye-catching mixed use tower located at the corner of Spencer Street and Bourke Streets, opposite Southern Cross Station consisting of 780 residential apartments over 68 levels.
There will also be a boutique hotel housed in the podium levels hosting 175 rooms. Construction is due to commence early next year.
“We are excited to be launching our first Melbourne development project and are thrilled with the strong response from the market in these early stages,” Fragrance Group's Adrian Lim said in a press release issued by Colliers International.
The Elenberg Fraser-designed project is being marketed by Colliers International and project managed by PDS Group.
Tim Storey, Colliers International managing director of residential, said the strong initial response to the project demonstrated ongoing the strength of the Melbourne CBD market.
Residential amenities will include grand ground level entry foyer, swimming pool, gym, residential lounges, concierge services, a garden lounge, outdoor fitness zone, sauna and steam room, games and golf area and fully equipped catering kitchens.
Premier apartment residents will also have access to the Premier Club and other exclusive amenities such as a library, private dining rooms and kitchen facilities, a theatre, billiard room and karaoke and media room.

The curvy tower design, by Elenberg Fraser, was reputedly bizarrely inspired by Beyonce with another press release to Fairfax Media suggesting the design of the curvaceous building at 134 Spencer Street, has been inspired by Beyonce's Ghost film clip from Beyonce's self-titled album.

The media release said: "For those more on the art than science side, we will reveal that the form does pay homage to something more aesthetic – we're going to trust you've seen the music video for Beyonce's Ghost." 
The tower replaces the Savoy Tavern best known for its Warwick Capper-hosted events after reopening following a closure of almost two decades.

The Singaporean property magnate Koh Wee Meng and his family will keep a suite of apartments at the very top of the high-rise CBD tower that his Fragrance Group is developing.
The Australian Financial Review noted the only problem is those apartments are on level 75 in a tower which has only approved 68 levels.
The revelation that Mr Koh and two of his sisters have acquired four sky-high apartments, along with one mid-level unit, was made to the Singapore stock exchange where Fragrance is listed, the AFR noted, in a sign Fragrance is planning to take the tower even higher. 
But Planning Minister Richard Wynne cut the original proposal down from 294 metres to 226 metres, making it comply with aviation rules and preventing it overshadowing the Yarra River and this week Wynne advised: "The permit for 134-160 Spencer Street clearly states my approval for 68 storeys. The decision to reduce the height was supported by the City of Melbourne to avoid overshadowing the Yarra River."
