Anyone know who the developer is?

Hopefully another PDG/shciavello/EF collaboration so it has a 100% chance of getting of the ground... those guys really know what they're doing

Wow, incredible.

This area of the city will be amazing if everything gets up - the tetris tower on the opposite corner, stork, MY80 plus others!

Can't wait to see the area in 10 years time.

This is why sometimes it's actually better to get an average- 'it will do' sort of design rather than a mindblowing one like this....

Because its torture waiting to see if it will be approved and then built etc, its taking too damn long!!!

I want it built in a day, from today!

Its like seeing a sexy women, and knowing she will be yours one day, but you need to wait 8 years or so before you can touch her haha. Well, maybe not but you know what I mean.

The height of this tower has been increased to 63 levels and 192 metres (it actually had 57 levels previously).

The setbacks from the eastern and southern boundaries had to be increased so they made up for that by adding another 6 levels :-)

I've got everything crossed for this one

Again - I need to stop opening these Melbourne development threads in public. I just lunged forward and mutted "Whoaaa"... now I feel like a freak.

Amazing design! Melbourne is going to be unrecognisable when I return in a few years!

Yum! What's the width of this building? Is that render an artist's impression of the tower after a strong wind?

In all the excitement over Australia 108 we missed this.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news...-1226514699810

Towering apartment buildings are also set to rise near Queen Victoria Market, with approval gained for skyscrapers in Elizabeth St and at the Celtic Club in Queen St.

The 62-storey, 197m tower on the corner of Elizabeth and Franklin streets will house 541 apartments only 100m from Victoria Market.

I wouldn't include Queensbridge, The Falls, 399 Bourke or CUB in that list. They're all a LONG way off!

You forgot Vision Apartments!
