350 St Kilda Road, Residential skyscraper on St Kilda Road, Melbourne, Australia.
350 St Kilda Road is a 120 m apartment tower of 30 floors, three of them basement levels, on St Kilda Road in Melbourne. A separate nine-floor low-rise block, also with three basement levels, stands next door as part of the original complex. The building is now known as St. James Apartments.
350 St Kilda Road was built in 1974 for the Department of Defence, and about 1,500 staff worked in the tower and the adjoining nine-storey low-rise, which formed part of the original complex. The residential conversion was completed in 1998, followed by later renovations.
The building's name changed with its use: opened in 1974 as a Defence Department office block, it became St. James Apartments after the 1998 residential conversion. The low-rise neighbour with nine floors, three of them basement, belonged to the same original complex.
The building sits near public transport with good connections to Melbourne's central business district and surrounding areas. Keep in mind this is a private residential complex, so viewing from the street is the best option for visitors.
The low-rise annex next door, nine floors including three basements, belonged to the same 1974 complex as the tower; about 1,500 staff worked across both buildings for the Department of Defence.
