The building is part of the $1.2 billion Wesley Place precinct development.
Charter Hall Group’s $750 million commercial building, 130 Lonsdale Street, which is owned by the $6.4 billion Charter Hall Prime Office Fund (CPOF), recently reached a significant milestone by topping out.
Together with construction partner, Lendlease, Charter Hall’s Managing Director and Group CEO David Harrison hosted a celebration of the moment with special guests including the Treasurer of Victoria the Hon Tim Pallas MP, and with members of the Wesley Church, future tenants and stakeholders in attendance.
At a glance:
130 Lonsdale Street is part of the $1.2 billion Wesley Place precinct development by Charter Hall which is being constructed on a 1.1-hectare CBD site.
The precinct combines three future-ready office buildings (130 Lonsdale, 140 Lonsdale and 150 Lonsdale) with the restoration of five significant heritage buildings, including the Wesley Church.
Upon completion, Wesley Place will offer new public spaces, world-class retail and food and beverage offerings.
Victorian Treasurer, Tim Pallas, said the precinct showed how new development can be carefully designed to accommodate new office space while respecting historic city surrounds.
"This exceptional development is indicative of the solid demand for office space in Melbourne’s CBD, proving that Victoria continues to grow and attract significant investment, despite global economic headwinds," he said.
Charter Hall Managing Director and Group CEO David Harrison said as an integral part of the Wesley Place precinct, the topping out of 130 Lonsdale Street was an exciting milestone for the Wesley Place project.
"We are proud to see the transformative Wesley Place precinct taking shape within its prominent Lonsdale Street location," Harrison said.
"A destination for Melbourne’s modern workforce and setting a benchmark for Premium Grade workspace, 130 Lonsdale Street is already fully leased and has attracted a high calibre range of pre-commitment tenants including Australian Super, Vanguard, Cbus Super, Telstra Super, AFCA and UCA."
Set to be completed mid-2020, the high-performance workplace at 130 Lonsdale will include 60,000 square metres of Premium Grade office space across 35 levels and four skyrise terraces, offering unparalleled amenity with direct access to Lonsdale Street.
