Eureka Tower

The Eureka Tower is a residential tower block complex on a 52,724ft² (4,900m²) site in the Southbank suburb of Port Philip, Melbourne, Australia. Located just moments away from Southbank Promenade restaurants, cafes and shops, the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Federation Square and St Kilda Road, Eureka Tower brings world-class living to the heart of Melbourne. The tower was developed as a joint venture between Grocon (the constructor), Tab Fried (a Melbourne investor), Nonda Katsalidis and Karl Fender (the architects), who all combined to form a company, Eureka Tower Pty Ltd, which owns the tower.

The tower is named after the Eureka Stockade rebellion during the 1854 Victoria gold rush (the building crown is gold coloured with a red stripe representing the gold and the bloodshed). The horizontal lines on the building represent the markings on a ruler, and the blue façade with white lines is supposed to represent the blue and white flag of the stockade.

Construction began in August 2002, the exterior of the tower was completed by 1 June 2006, and the building was officially opened on 11 October 2006. Residents had occupied apartments up to level 80 by July 2006.

The site of construction is an area of reclaimed swampland, and the tower has special foundations to reflect this. The tower is 297.3m (984.3ft) high and consists of 91 floors (plus one underground) with 84 floors of apartments and briefly became Australia’s tallest building, superseding the Rialto.
