Construction is underway for the 27-storey tower at 130 Little Collins, Melbourne designed by Cox Architecture with interiors by Hecker Guthrie and landscape by Jack Merlo.
The $190 million tower will house column-free office floorplates from levels two through 27 with a wrap-around garden terrace on level eight and a communal rooftop garden.
At ground level, a retail tenancy will open onto Coromandel Place.
Subterranean end-of-trip facilities have been designed to approximate a first-class lounge, “with visitors having access to private change rooms with showers and towel service, individual storage lockers and a waiting lounge complete with magazines, newspaper and refreshments, as well as bicycle parking facilities in line with the project’s sustainability initiatives.”

The project is aiming for a 5-Star NABERS design potential, 5-Star Green Star Design and As-Built, and WELL Certification.
Jeff Xu, managing director of developer Golden Age Group, said the design was suited to the changing market.
“The typical commercial building has been turned on its head; we’re witnessing a preference towards more boutique floorplans as a result of businesses scaling down their requirements for an office, coupled with something that greater emphasizes lifestyle and wellbeing,” he said.
“Many tenants within Melbourne’s eastern core have historically had to renew within the precinct given the lack of supply and availability but 130 Little Collins has catered to the pent-up demand.”
