has anyone posted anything on this ???

Yesterdays Aust Fin Review had a short story about ANZ looking for an amazing 100,000 sq metres of office space in central Melbourne !

cant get into their website but basically their plan is to leave all existing towers in the CBD and centralise it all in one bldng ala NAB.
A few scraper projects were mentioned but none would come anywhere near to housing the space requirement apart from getting a new one built in docklands, which seems to be the favoured option.
If this is the case then it will be the 13th office tower built in this cycle.
This would be a massive shame, be great if a 300m office tower could be proposed in the cbd which would house all the space, instead of a 50m high x 100m long x 100m wide ground scraper.

the article mentions that ANZ would be looking for space spread across several buildings built closely together , so why not build 2 x 150m office towers next to each other in the CBD somewhere, I dont understand why it has to be 3 or 4 massive low rise buildings instead.
Who else will think of moving to Docklands in the next few years, hopefully not Telstra, Vic Govt departments or other big mining companies because that will really hurt hi rise development in the CBD.
Anyway, I guess its going to fill up Docklands pretty quick and give it alot more vibe with all of the people down there
