Project Description

Home Apartments is a 60-storey build-to-rent tower with an 11-storey podium, located at 258 City Road Southbank, Melbourne.

Project Challenges

The project presented substantial engineering challenges due to its height and the need to withstand strong winds from Port Phillip Bay, which are resisted by the building's stability structure.

Key aspects of the project include:

• Demolition of the existing buildings on the site.
• Ground-floor retail spaces totalling 317 sqm, fronting City Road and partially elevated to 3 metres AHD above the flood level.
• All servicing and loading areas positioned along Haig Lane at ground level.
• A nine-level podium for car parking, with apartments facing City Road.
• A 60-level residential tower with a total height of 193 metres.
• Recreation facilities located on levels 4 and 8.
• A mix of one- and two-bedroom dwellings, averaging 8 apartments per level.
• 104 car spaces and 216 bicycle spaces.
