Brookfield Multiplex has been appointed to construct the fourth tower within Walker Corporation’s $1.8 billion landmark Collins Square development located at 727 Collins Street in Melbourne’s CBD. The 22 level tower comprising just under 40,000 square metres of commercial office space (NLA) over 15 floors and a six level car park provided just over 200 car spaces. Collins Square spans an entire city block and consists of five commercial office buildings providing over 200,000 square metres of net lettable area. The towers are connected via an integrated three level podium. Brookfield Multiplex has also been contracted to undertake the transition works for the Stage 1 and Stage 2 concourse and retail area.
This work includes the installation of the permanent retail plaza roof, and the completion of the Stage 1 Collins St entries, with all works being conducted partly out of trading hours to minimise impact to trade. “We are very pleased to have won Stage 4 and maintain our involvement with Walker Corporation, having completed Stage 3 and with Stage 2 now under construction, as we help deliver this market leading commercial development,” said Graham Cottam, Regional Managing Director of Brookfield Multiplex Victoria. The Collins Square development has a Green Star Design and As Built v3 Rating as well as NABERS Energy 5 Star Rating due its use of the a Tri-Generation system for producing power; along with the rainwater harvesting system and water efficient fixtures and fittings.
Three towers are already complete at Collins Square. Construction of Tower Four is expected to be complete in August, 2016. Brookfield Multiplex has completed several commercial projects across Melbourne in the past two years including Cbus Properties Medibank office at 720 Bourke Street, National Australia Bank building at 700 Bourke Street and Queensland Investment Corporations development in Collins Street.
