AUSTRALIA 108 MELBOURNE
Planning permission has been granted for a new (AUD)$600 million super tower which includes a six-star hotel at its peak. Rising 108 levels and 388 metres, Australia 108 will be the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere.
Located on Southbank Boulevard within Melbourne’s most desirable arts, dining and entertainment district, the project has been designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects, the same practice that successfully delivered the 92-storey Eureka Tower in 2006. “We are delighted to have our planning
approval finalised, and the ability to forge full steam ahead with the project. This includes finalising apartment designs and advancing negotiations
with hotel operators,” says
Founding Director Nonda Katsalidis, who is co-designing the tower with his partner Karl Fender. “Australia 108 has the ability to define Melbourne, and signify our coming of age as a dynamic and progressive international city. Nothing like this exists in our part of the world
– a prestigious residential tower with a six-star, luxury hotel offering a wide range of services and facilities such as bars, observation lounges and restaurants,” he continues. The hotel will occupy 18 levels of the
tower, with guestrooms on floors 83 to 101. A spectacular double-height Sky Lobby on level 83 will feature two restaurants, two bars and lounge areas. Located in the starburst points that crown the building – an architectural feature inspired by the Commonwealth star on the Australian flag – these spaces appear to hover over the city, with sections of glass underfoot enabling visitors to see all the way to the ground in a larger version of Eureka Skydeck’s Edge.
A glass-enclosed Star Bar on level 108, suspended between two pillars near the pinnacle of the building, will offer panoramic views of the city. The hotel will also feature a swimming pool, spa and gym, as well as a fresh food market and café at the lower levels. The remainder of the building will be given over to apartments and customised penthouses.
