In 1835, Melbourne s founding father, John Batman, famously declared of the land alongside the Yarra River This will be the place for a village. Over 170 years later, Batman s village is now a thriving, 24 hour cosmopolitan metropolis, internationally famous for its outstanding quality of life and rich cultural heritage. Ranked as the world s most liveable city since 2011, Melbourne is a major financial centre for Australia and the Asia-Pacific and highly regarded for excellence in education, entertainment, healthcare, research and development, tourism and sports. For sheer size and bustling diversity, Elizabeth Street is without doubt one of Melbourne s premier thoroughfares. It also lays claim to the geographical heart of the city, with the magnificent gold-rush era GPO Building on the corner of Bourke Street generally regarded as the point from which all other parts of Melbourne are measured. From the historic Flinders Street Railway Station at the river end to the seven hectare Queen Victoria Market, the Elizabeth Street precinct encompasses a spectacular array of specialty and department stores, world-renowned universities, spectacular parks and gardens, restaurants, cafés and Melbourne s famous laneway bars.

15 A striking tower Occupying a standout position on the corner of Elizabeth and A Beckett Streets, Empire Melbourne has been designed by award-winning Hayball Architects as a distinctive and high quality addition to the Melbourne cityscape. Presenting a singular, dramatic form, the building attenuates into three parts separated by double-height spaces that accommodate outstanding communal facilities. Empire s extraordinary façade geometry expands in scale as the building rises to the sky. Golden fluted blades emphasise the building s glittering verticality, peeling open to address the corner. The shading blades contribute to a solar passive design and add fine grain expression and textural quality. With ever-changing light, shade and reflection, the building reveals a dynamic visual presence that boldly announces itself as Melbourne s new jewel-in-the-crown.
