Edgewater Towers

Edgewater Towers is a residential building in St Kilda with a white facade rising 44 meters across 13 stories and offering apartments with views of Port Phillip Bay. The building holds around one hundred one and two-bedroom apartments with modern lifts and was equipped with safety systems to withstand the marine environment.

The building was completed in 1961 as Melbourne's first high-rise residential structure, marking a turning point in the city's housing design. The following year, Domain Park Flats surpassed this position as Victoria's tallest residential building.

The building shows features from New York and Miami residential designs of the 1950s, bringing a new style of modern living to Melbourne. This architectural language remains visible today in the facade and proportions of the structure.

The building is easily accessible on foot and sits in a busy area with access to the beach and local shops. Visitors should enjoy the best views of the facade and harbor from street level, especially when light is favorable.

The building features a rooftop terrace serving as a communal space with native plants and enhanced lift access for better reach. This private area offers residents a retreat with greenery positioned above the structure.
