One Queensbridge, proposed skyscraper in Melbourne
One Queensbridge is a proposed tower in Melbourne that was planned as a hotel and apartment complex. The structure would have risen over 300 meters (about 1000 feet) and would have been the tallest building in Australia.
The project was conceived in the early 2010s with construction expected to begin around 2018. However, funding and regulatory approvals never materialized, and the ambitious plan was ultimately not built.
The site sits in Southbank, an area that has grown into an entertainment and residential hub. Residents and visitors value the neighborhood for its social gathering spots and proximity to the river.
The planned site is located in Southbank with good access to parks, shops, and public transport. The area is easily walkable or bikeable and offers convenient access to riverside leisure activities.
The project was classified as being of state significance, which would have allowed it to bypass certain planning rules. This designation shows how important this tower was considered for Melbourne's growth.
