Two Docklands projects approved

A 55-storey skyscraper for 700 Collins St and a 22-storey office tower in the City Harbour precinct have been approved by Minister for Planning Richard Wynne.

Developer Cromwell Property has been given approval to build a $350 million mixed-use build-to-rent apartment, office and hotel tower in Docklands (pictured right), which will be the tallest tower in postcode 3008 once complete.

Meanwhile, in a big win for the development of the Digital Harbour precinct (now City Harbour) at the corner of Latrobe St and Harbour Esplanade, developer Digital Harbour Holdings has also been issued an approval for its new office tower (pictured below).

Located at Digital Drive next to the Melbourne Water office building fronting Latrobe St, the $195 million 22-storey development will create more than 36,000 sqm of new office space across from Poly Australia’s new commercial project at 1000 Latrobe St, which is currently under construction•
