Multiplex has announced the completion of Swanston Central, an A$350m ($228m) high-rise residential development in Melbourne’s inner-city skyline in Australia, for developer Hengyi.

Designed by architects Elenberg Fraser, the 71-storey Swanston Central is located on the former Carlton United Brewery site at 160 Victoria Street in Carlton, offering residents panoramic views across Melbourne.

In a statement, Multiplex said: “The site operated as a brewery for over 100 years from 1864 until 1987 when it was demolished. It was then vacant until Hengyi acquired it in 2016 and commenced construction on Swanston Central.”

The residential tower involves 1,045 residential apartments, 2,500m2 of retail space over podium levels and a 345m2 of office space on Level 22.

Multiplex regional managing director Graham Cottam said: “With a rich history dating back to the mid-1800s, the delivery of Swanston Central has seen the original Carlton Brewing site reborn into a vibrant vertical village.

“Supported by our extensive experience in high-rise construction, we’re proud to have delivered Swanston Central on time and to an exceptional standard for residents.”
