Multiplex delivers heritage conversion to Melbourne CBD
05 September 2017
Leading global contractor
Multiplex
has delivered the Australian Nursing and Midwifery
Federation’s (ANMF) multi-million mixed-use commercial development,
located at 535 Elizabeth Street in
Melbourne’s CBD, two months ahead of
schedule.
The 15,722 square metre
building spans 10 levels and is ANMF’s new
Victorian Head Office.
Designed by Crone Architects, the new ANMF building features commercial
office space, educational facilities including a 400-seat auditorium,
retail and car parking and end of trip facilities.
Importantly, the project saw the retention and restoration of two
heritage facades fronting both Elizabeth Street and O’Connell Street.
“We are delighted to complete this landmark building for ANMF and
restore another of the CBD’s classic character buildings,” said Graham
Cottam, Regional Managing Director of Multiplex Victoria.
The project has delivered improved pedestrian access around the building
with an internal atrium on the ground floor forming a laneway that
connects Elizabeth Street to O’Connell Street. The laneway shares some
of the impressive architectural features of the building itself
including a feature stone staircase and timber clad walls.
The ground floor of the building also has an alfresco café and end of
trip facilities including bicycle storage, lockers, and shower
amenities.
535 Elizabeth Street has three levels of education facilities from
Mezzanine to Level 2, connected to the ground level by a central hub,
filling the building with natural light while providing students a
stimulating learning environment. These levels feature a 400-seat
auditorium and a range of educational facilities including a library,
student hub, simulation laboratories and classrooms.
The top three levels host ANMF’s head office and are connected by an
inter-tenancy steel staircase and atrium. These levels feature
adjustable workstations, quiet meeting rooms and staff hub amenities
with an uninterrupted view of the city.
Levels 3 to 5 are expected to be leased to external parties as
commercial office space. Both the services and architecture have been
designed to be highly flexible and offer future tenants the ability to
subdivide each floor.
The building has been designed to achieve a 5 Star As-Built rating under
the
Green Star Office Version 3 tool.
Multiplex has recently completed several commercial buildings in
Victoria including Tower 5 at Collins Square, Walker Corporation’s
Collins Square, Cbus Properties Medibank office at 720 Bourke Street and
National Australia Bank building at 700 Bourke Street.
