Abstract
More than 80 unoccupied and underused office buildings in Melbourne’s CBD have been identified as prime candidates for redevelopment into more than 10,000 new homes.
A property audit of the city centre, conducted by the design studio Hassell and planning consultancy Ethos Urban for the Property Council of Australia, listed 86 buildings in Melbourne as “really ripe for adaptive re-use”.
