CRA Building, Office skyscraper in Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia.
The CRA Building featured 26 floors with vertical ribbing and a plaza setup, reaching a height of 99 meters in the business district.
From 1962 to 1969, this structure stood as Melbourne's tallest building until AMP Square exceeded its height in the central business district.
The building represented the international architectural movement in Melbourne, introducing modern design elements to the Collins Street business area.
The structure incorporated setback gardens and a plaza to minimize the effects of strong northerly winds that impacted the building's surfaces.
Upon its demolition in 1988, the CRA Building became the youngest major structure and first skyscraper to be removed from Melbourne's landscape.
