385 Bourke Street, Commercial skyscraper in Melbourne, Australia
385 Bourke Street is a high-rise office building on the corner of Bourke and Elizabeth Streets in Melbourne, built between 1975 and 1983 as the State Bank Centre. Its lower levels house the Galleria shopping centre, while the office floors above are let to tenants including EnergyAustralia and UniSuper.
Construction began in 1975 and finished in 1983, initially serving as headquarters for the State Bank of Victoria. The building replaced a classical office structure from 1912, marking a shift toward modern development on the site.
The lower levels of 385 Bourke Street hold the Galleria shopping centre, named for the arcade it contains; offices rise above it. The State Bank of Victoria built the tower as its head office, and after the Commonwealth Bank took over in 1990 the retail levels stayed open to passers-by on Bourke and Elizabeth Streets.
Located at the intersection of Bourke and Elizabeth Streets, it offers direct access to public transportation, shops, and dining options throughout the complex. Everything needed for a day in the business district is accessible at this spot.
The Galleria shopping centre occupies the lower levels of the tower, a name often mistranslated in Chinese texts as "California". The site's earlier classical State Bank building went up in stages between 1912 and 1935 before demolition.
