85 Spring Street
2023 - 2024
Location: Parliament, Melbourne
Client: Pelligra Group
Project value: $130 Mil AUD
Originally owned by ANZ/Esanda, the property was sold to Grocon in 2013, which secured approval for a 39-story mixed-use development but never built it. The site changed hands multiple times—Golden Age in 2017, then Proprium Partners (Anton Real Estate), which modified the plans to a 37-story office tower but also failed to proceed.
In June 2022, Pelligra Group acquired the site, officially settling in November. With a vision to restore its former prestige, Pelligra aims to transform this prime Melbourne location into a landmark mixed-use development that aligns with the city's evolving market needs.
85 Spring Street Redevelopment won Best Commercial Renovation/Redevelopment in Australia award at the Asia Pacific Property Awards in 2024.
Project Brief
As part of the design team for Pelligra Construction Group, I was responsible for designing the base build, including the main lobby and end-of-trip facilities. A key aspect of my role was establishing the design brief and benchmark for third-party designers involved in the project, including Hot Black for the office tenancy levels and Retail Ink for wayfinding signage and marketing materials.
The building has attracted prestigious tenants, including the exclusive wine club 67 Pall Mall, premium serviced office brand Signature, and a mix of professional services and financial management firms.
Given the complexity of the tenancies, the lobby design needed to balance functionality with sophistication. It serves as a key access point, incorporating dedicated lifts for 67 Pall Mall, which occupies the top three floors. Additionally, a high level of finish was essential to reflect the quality and vision of the esteemed tenants.
