Same thing as posted before, bit more info though...

568-580 COLLINS STREET MELBOURNE VIC 3000 (TPM-2010-11)
Demolition of the existing building and construction of a multi storey residential building with associated car parking

Planning application lodged last month. Apartments already being sold. Going to be approximately 60 Levels

People in the Vic forums have been saying its a nod to the Rockefeller Center in NY, probably is.

Please correct me if I've gotten anything wrong.

One of the newer(?) renders: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs316.ash1/27963_122988264392083_115916501765926_214424_5746037_n.jpg

Quite an impressive design. Where will it appear in the skyline?

Very close to the Rialto. It will be up that end of Collins street.

It looks like the podium will change color in a cycle.

Can a mod add 65L to the title?

You mean 65 floors? It looks like it's approved, that's kinda what it says in your post cuz why else would they start demolition works?

They haven't, I said that the site next door is a hole in the ground, it's probably is a bit misleading. There is a different proposal there.

EDIT: the post from melbournee12 is a planning application

New Renders.

I'm so torn!!! It looks great from one angle and from another it looks like something that came from the 1960's.

I think its the quality of the renders. I think if they don't get cheap then it should be awesome.

New advertisement for apartment sales. Shows a completion date of 2015, plus a new render I've not seen before: -

apparently 200/230 of the apartments released sold out in the first 3-4 weeks. so good news.
architects for this one are Bruce Henderson.

First render of the back.

Thread title needs to be updated to 68 storeys & 218m. This has gone out to tender and demolition of the existing building is expected to commence in the next month or so.

Any updates on this one??

Demolition has begun

edit: thanks for changing thread title :)

Im not too sure about this tower, it seems like a warped 60s tower with no relationship with its contemporary base.. :ohno:
