The new premium-grade 33,000 square-metre building, 171 Collins Street Melbourne, has won this year’s Victorian Development of the Year award.
Cbus Property and Charter Hall were presented with the Victorian industry’s top accolade at the Property Council of Australia / Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) Development of the Year cocktail party on 3 May, 2017.
Developed by Charter Hall and Cbus Property, and designed by Bates Smart, 171 Collins Street is Victoria’s first Premium Grade building in over 20 years.
Located in the prestigious ‘Paris-end’ of Collins Street, the building provides approximately 33,000 square metres of office space across 17 floors in a new generation tower, and seven levels of boutique office space in the heritage listed Mayfair building.
Impressive environmental credentials
It has achieved a 6 star Green Star – Office As Built (v2) rating, representing ‘World Leadership’ in environmentally sustainable design, and has achieved a 6 Star NABERS Energy Rating.
