The complex
The tallest building in the complex, Tower A (Tower 1), comprises 663 apartments[1] and 81 levels, reaching a height of 268.7 metres (882 ft).[2] As of 2026[update], it is the fourth-tallest building in Melbourne and seventh-tallest building in Australia.[2] In addition to the apartments, a 5-star hotel of 257 rooms occupies the building.[3] Hotel chain The Ritz-Carlton have signed on to manage the hotel, which they opened in March 2023.[4] It spans floors 61 to 80, with its sky lobby located on floor 80.[5][failed verification]
The 65-level Tower B (Tower 2) comprises 714 apartments and reaches a height of 206 metres (676 ft).[6][1] Tower C (Tower 3) measures 230 metres (750 ft) in height across 70 levels,[7] comprising 684 apartments[1] and a 316-room, 4-star hotel owned by Dorsett Hospitality International.[8][9] The 240-metre-tall (790 ft) Tower D (Tower 4) includes 835 apartments over 72 levels.[10][1]
The $2-billion project[3] is Melbourne's biggest inner-city development, encompassing 97,000 m2 (1,040,000 sq ft) of floor space.[11] Developed by Far East Consortium, the complex was initially proposed in 2013, and was later approved in mid-2014 by then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy. It was proposed to be fully completed in 2022.[12] Construction was suspended in February 2022 when contractor Probuild went into administration.[13] The remaining two towers were completed by Multiplex in 2023.[citation needed][contradictory]
