MULTIPLEX has completed Hengyi’s $350 million high-rise residential development, Swanston Central located on the former Carlton United Brewery site.
Designed by architects Elenberg Fraser, the 71-level development comprises 1,045 apartments, 2,500 sqm of retail space over podium levels and a 345 sqm office space on Level 22.
Multiplex regional managing director Graham Cottam was delighted to complete the landmark high-rise development for Hengyi.
“With a rich history dating back to the mid-1800s, the delivery of Swanston Central has seen the original Carlton Brewing site reborn into a vibrant vertical village,” Cottam said.
Work on the Swanston Central project spanned 3.5 years commencing on August 23rd 2016 and according to Multiplex over 1,000 people worked on site throughout construction.
The site operated as a brewery for over 100 years from 1864 until 1987 when it was demolished. It was then vacant until Hengyi acquired it in 2016 and commenced construction on Swanston Central.
