Multiplex completes first luxury tower at Capitol Grand
20 May 2019
Premier global construction company,
Multiplex, has reached completion on
Capitol Grand Tower, the first
luxury tower on
LK Property Group’s $800 million six-star retail and
high-rise residential development, Capitol Grand.
Prominently located on the corner of Toorak Road and Chapel Street in
Melbourne’s CBD, the Capitol Grand development consists of two luxury
residential
towers comprising a combined total of 400
apartments;
Capitol Grand Tower and the 50-storey LK Tower.
Designed by high profile architects
Bates Smart, the Capitol Grand Tower
boasts 88 luxury apartments across 10 levels.
“We are thrilled to complete the first luxury residential tower on this
monumental project and continue our ongoing partnership with LK Property
Group. Capitol Grand represents the epitome of luxury living and we are
proud to contribute to yet another inner-city landmark,” said Graham
Cottam, Regional Managing Director at Multiplex.
A range of innovative construction techniques have been used by
Multiplex including the use of cantilevered offset grillages on cranes
to minimise impact to permanent structure, temporary shield structure to
protect overhead services during crane lifts from Chapel Street and the
installation of the façade behind formwork protection screens to
mitigate the risk of falling objects.
Cutting-edge design features of Capitol Grand Tower include undulating
balustrades with a unique frit pattern, as well as high end finishes,
appliances and fixtures and fittings throughout the tower.
ESD features include solar panels and rain water harvesting technology
from the Tower roof which will assist with watering the landscaped
podium area.
Work commenced on the Capitol Grand project in January 2017 and
according to Multiplex over 2,500 people worked on site throughout
construction.
The Capitol Grand precinct will feature an exquisite lobby, private
pools, gyms, dining areas and Jack Merlo designed elevated gardens. At
180 metres tall, the LK Tower will boast panoramic views across
Melbourne, particularly from its upper levels where five whole-floor
penthouses feature 360-degree views.
Residents who purchase an apartment on Level 32 or above will have their
own entrance, three dedicated lifts and exclusive access to the Azure
Club, which will feature a state-of-the-art gym, lounges, dining rooms
and an infinity pool.
Capitol Grand will also house fine dining establishments, three levels
of luxury retail, and a five-level basement carpark for residents.
The final stage of the luxury project is scheduled for completion in
late 2019.
