51 Flinders Ln is a landmark dual tower development that thoughtfully responds to its surroundings in Melbourne CBD’s coveted East End – home to some of Melbourne’s most significant buildings.

 

The project brings together 28,000 sqm of A-grade commercial office space alongside 1,000 sqm of retail amenities, all set within the distinctive character of Flinders Lane.

The site’s extended frontage provides the address with a robust masonry response related in scale, proportion and materiality to the neighbouring The Herald and Weekly Times building and the Hotel Lindrum.

Above the podium, the South Tower frame is expressed as a material skin which mediates between the glass tower of The GPT Group’s neighbouring workplace, 8 Exhibition Street, and the Harry Seidler designed office building at 1 Spring Street. The solidity of the frame allows the sculptural form of the tower to be read from all angles, introducing a bold new silhouette to Melbourne’s skyline.

Fronting Flinders Lane, the building references the scale, proportion and materiality of its setting through a distinctive red brick façade.

Just steps from Parliament Station, a generous entry welcomes pedestrians from Flinders Lane into a new laneway connecting to Flinders Street. The sites accessibility is further enhanced by a bridge connection to the Flinders Street lobby and a wide stair descending to Spark Lane on the western edge of the precinct. Culturally responsive design elements, co-designed by Greenshoot Consulting in partnership with Wurundjeri Elders, will be integrated throughout the public laneway to celebrate the Birrarung, the historic Yarra Falls and First Peoples knowledge systems, enriching the site’s connection to place and culture. Upon opening, 51 Flinders Ln will activate the public realm and meaningfully contribute to Melbourne’s evolving cityscape.
