Collins House is a residential skyscraper in Collins St Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The project has been developed by both the Asian Pacific Group, Golden Age and designed by architectural firm Bates Smart. [1] Launched in 2013, the project received approval by the then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy in February 2014 as part of a "Super Tuesday", whereby five skyscrapers had been approved. [2] [3] With a width of 11.8 metres (39 feet) at its narrowest, [4] Collins House has been designed as one of the world's slimmest skyscrapers and has been referred to as a "pencil skyscraper" or "pencil tower". [5] [6] The development comprises approximately 300 residential apartments across 61 levels, and will reach a height of 190 metres (620 feet) [7] — thus becoming one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne.
Construction on Collins House commenced in February 2016, and it was completed in 2019. [8]
