It's actually 264m high and the satellite dishes are functional, I'm not sure if any of the current tenants actually use them for anything but the do work. They added them during construction because it would have been much more expensive to hoist them up at a later date!

120 & 101 Coillins compliment each other perfectly, both of them having the unique spires with the platforms that I haven't seen on any other skyscrapers but these two.

this one looks a bit better...the top isn't completely squared off and it's tall!!...8/10

A good one! Fulfills my requirements of what a skyscraiper should look like practically to perfection! 8.5

That blue pic is spectacular... I love this tower... got a 9 from me

Man, I love this tower. The form and facade are both make a great combination, especially for Melbourne, but the real joy of the building is the spire/antenna on top. I don't know of any other building which has an array similar to that, but it really just caps off the building all too well.

Talk about near post-modernism perfection.

Can't believe I haven't voted on one of Melbourne's finest yet!!

It's Melbourne's mini-ESB for me .. a modern interepretation of classic early century East Coast Art Deco ... here's my best pic ..



9/10

0.5 off each for two reasons: The exterior could and should have more detail to truly make it a modern masterpiece .. and also it can appear a little skinny from some angles

Other than that, from so many more angles it just makes a huge presence on the Melbourne skyline ..

Together with 101 Collins they stamp class all over Melbourne's 'Paris End' of the CBD ..

As a side note.. the fact that we don't count the spires on 101 & 120 as official despite being far more substantial and functional than many 'official' spires - not to mention climbable as grollo pointed out just shows what a crock of steaming fat #2's is the CTBUH rule on spires

ROFL A-brain!

6 Solid building, but the top and antennae is a mess.

Doesn't really do anything to me.

[TropicalSQ744]

Just a notch above ok.. I don't like the fact that it appears to be very much a box and the spire that appears out of proportion when compared with the rest of the building... But still it's one of the best lighted buildings I've seen so far... Very majestic at night

i like this one better than the neibiring 101 collins. the facade's much more interesting and the spire actually look like it belongs on the building. they should kill those dummy satillite dishes though.

6.5/10 compliments 101 Collins Street, but i don't really like it

[New Jack City]

7/10...I don't like the colors too much and it has an odd looking antenna. Overall it does have an interesting design.
