555 Collins Street | COX Architecture with Gensler

555 Collins Street is the catalyst of a broader two stage, mixed-use commercial precinct sited on a key intersection of Melbourne’s Midtown. A global design collaboration between COX and Gensler, it is a once-in-a generation opportunity to rejuvenate a city block through a civic master plan and placemaking strategy.

Featuring 84,000m2 of premium grade office space and 2300m2 of retail, the distinctive ‘coupled’ tower form will rise above an activated podium reflecting Melbourne’s signature laneways through a mix of hospitality, retail and social spaces connected by winter gardens.

The completed first phase, the ‘north tower’, accommodates 5,000 workers from tenants including Amazon, Allianz, Bendigo Bank and Hub’s 555 Collins Exchange flagship. Designed from the inside out, the building creates a vibrant experience through human-centred design for optimum user experience, comfort and wellness including fully flexible floorplates, places for collaboration and social interaction, and generous access to light and views.
