Australian property developer Beulah International has received approval from the Victorian Government to build what it claims to become Australia’s tallest building, the A$2bn ($1.27bn) Southbank by Beulah.

Green Spine is the design proposed by Dutch design firm UNStudio and local firm COX Architecture for the Southbank by Beulah project, which is expected to create more than 4,700 jobs during the construction phase.

Pending approval from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, the 270,000m2 Green Spine mixed-use precinct will comprise two towers both featuring a twisting geometric glass façade and terracing.

COX founder Philip Cox said: “Southbank has laid somewhat dormant for many years, our collaborative concept has the ability to truly uncover its potential, improving the urban amenity while seamlessly unifying the suburb with Melbourne’s CBD.

“The architectural and cultural impact Southbank by Beulah will leave on Melbourne is an exciting prospect and will undoubtedly set a benchmark both locally and globally, now and well into the future.”

Planned to be completed in approximately seven years, the Southbank by Beulah will comprise four distinct collections of private residences; 35,000m2 of commercial offices; and a 220-key five-star urban resort.
