With highly considered design that focuses on employee wellbeing, and cutting-edge technology that can be tailored to a next-generation workforce emerging from the global COVID-19 pandemic, Collins is occupied by some of Australia’s top-tier corporations.

Finding an exquisite balance between architectural innovation, design excellence, and commercial considerations, this mixeduse development has transformed an entire city block into a vibrant urban community. The diverse mix of activity, whose scale and complexity are unprecedented, lays the foundation for the highly-charged energy that makes a place feel great. From top to bottom Collins Arch is about liveability. Fresh, public open space, with connections to a network of dynamic spaces back to the Yarra River, optimises the 􀃖ow of people, culture and commerce. Collins Arch is having positive impact on people’s enjoyment and a greener, more liveable Melbourne.
