Collins House Melbourne is a private residential high-rise building, located at 464-466 Collins Street, in the city centre of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia.
History
The project was developed by both the Asian Pacific Group and Golden Age and designed by architectural firm Bates Smart.[1] Launched in 2013, the project received approval by the then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy in February 2014 as part of a "Super Tuesday", whereby five skyscrapers were approved.[2][3] With a width of 11.8 metres (39 feet) at its narrowest,[4] Collins House has been designed as one of the world's slimmest skyscrapers and has been referred to as a "pencil skyscraper" or "pencil tower".[5][6] The development comprises approximately 280 residential apartments across 56 levels, and reaches a height of 190 metres (620 ft)[7] — thus becoming one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne.
Construction on Collins House commenced in February 2016, and it was completed in 2019.[8]
