Freshwater Place, Residential skyscraper in Southbank, Melbourne, Australia
Freshwater Place is a 60-story residential tower in Southbank containing 536 apartments arranged in three distinct zones: a lower podium section, a mid-rise portion, and a high-rise core. The building's composition balances residential density with varied architectural proportions throughout its height.
The building was completed in 2005 and represented a significant milestone in Melbourne's residential development at that time. Its finished state introduced new benchmarks for how apartment living could be designed in the city.
The ground level arcade brings together residents through its collection of restaurants and shops, creating daily gathering spaces where people meet and socialize.
Eight elevators provide efficient vertical transportation throughout the building for all residents and visitors. Amenities on the tenth floor include a swimming pool, spa, fitness center, and rooftop garden for daily use.
A Skyline Club on the fortieth floor features an infinity pool with views overlooking Melbourne's central business district and the river, offering a distinctive experience for residents.
