To provide easy access to all, the tower will connect into the city’s transportation system via a pedestrian link to the Southern Cross railway station and the tram network, while a new plaza and public terraces will invite in residents and visitors alike. The building will also provide 350 bicycle parking spaces as well as bays for electric vehicles and shared car programs.
Thanks to a finned façade system that reduces direct solar gain, 600 Collins Street is projected to use 50 percent less energy than a conventional mixed-use tower. A high performance glazing system, high efficiency central cooling, high efficiency lighting and greywater reuse systems will also contribute to the reduced energy and resource consumption.
