Situated at 17 Bennetts Lane in the centre of Melbourne's CBD, a new architectural marvel is taking shape.

This innovative development sprawls across 12,000 square meters, encompassing two levels dedicated to retail and food and beverage tenancies, coworking spaces, A-Grade office facilities, a function centre, first-class end-of-trip amenities, and a captivating rooftop bar. Bennet Lane is not just a building; it's a visionary project designed to establish a new environmental standard, aiming to achieve both a 5-star NABERS and 5-star Green Star rating upon completion.

Steeped in history, Bennetts Lane has been a hub of activity since the 1860s, evolving from a bakery to a vibrant jazz precinct in the 1920s. Today, this iconic lane is transforming yet again, offering a modern urban experience teeming with Melbourne's vibrant energy—a destination where work, dining, and leisure seamlessly converge.

With private sky terraces on each floor and exclusive wellness amenities, Bennetts Lane promises a world of possibilities. The tower, spanning 20 floors, offers commercial spaces ranging from 120 sqm to 845 sqm, and retail spaces from 67 sqm to 195 sqm. Embracing the essence of a 'vertical village,' this project redefines workspaces, providing light-filled floorplates, private and communal outdoor terraces, and a strategic location near key landmarks like Melbourne Central, QV, the State Library, and RMIT.

As Bennet Lane emerges as a cutting-edge hub in Melbourne’s CBD, it not only shapes the city's skyline but also sets a new standard for sustainable urban development and modern workplace environments.
