The magnificent structure, with its soaring ceilings and lofty spaces promises to be Melbourne’s most exciting and creative new workplace concept.

Located in one of the city’s most sought after locations, with frontages onto both Collins Street and Bourke Street, the Goods Shed is surrounded by the headquarters of major corporations and only a short walk from the heart of the CBD and Southern Cross Station.

Drawing on the building’s rich industrial past, architects Elenberg Fraser have created a uniquely flexible interior. Open-plan floor plates with mezzanine levels will provide functionality and efficiency.

As an Ecological Sustainable Development (ESD), the Goods Shed development will minimise negative environmental effects and reduce operating costs. The ESD initiatives proposed will result in the project receiving a Melbourne Docklands ESD Award of Merit.

With its associated retail amenities,
convenient parking, public transport, parkland, waterfrontages and CBD connections, the Goods Shed presents the perfect office solution for major tenants, VicUrban, the Building Commission and the Plumbing Industry Commission.
