Melbourne is home to approximately 758 completed high-rise buildings.[1]Template:Bsn Of those completed and topped-out, 78 are defined as "skyscrapers" – buildings which reach a height of at least Script error: No such module "convert". – more than any other city in Australia. Overall, Melbourne's skyline ranks as the tallest in the Oceania region and the 24th tallest in the world by the number of completed skyscrapers.[2] Melbourne comprises five of the ten tallest buildings in Australia and the city has routinely hosted the tallest building in Australia to architectural feature or roof.[3] since 2026Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., the tallest building in Melbourne is the 100-storey Australia 108, which stands Script error: No such module "convert". in height; whilst being the second-tallest building in Australia, it is the tallest to roof.

Geographically, most of Melbourne's tallest skyscrapers are concentrated in the central business district (CBD); however, other locations of prominent skyscrapers and tall buildings in Melbourne include Box Hill, Carlton, Docklands, Southbank, South Melbourne, South Yarra and St Kilda Road. The CBD, defined by a grid of streets known as the Hoddle Grid, has a historically low central shopping area with a high rise cluster in the western financial district and another in the eastern end. Buildings are more densely packed in the west than the east, although the latter has some of the CBD's tallest buildings to architectural feature – 120 Collins Street and 101 Collins Street, respectively – whilst the West Side Place Tower A, located in the western district, is taller to roof. In the 2010s, another skyscraper cluster rose in the northern section, which contains the CBD's tallest building, Aurora Melbourne Central.

Historically, Melbourne has been associated with several architectural milestones and building height records in Australia. During a brief skyscraper boom from 1888 to 1892, the city was one of the first in the world to build numerous tall office buildings, alongside New York City and Chicago in the United States. This period produced the APA Building (1889), which was among Australia's first high-rise and its tallest at the time.[4]

Melbourne later played an important role in post-war high-rise development with the construction of ICI House (Orica House) in 1958, widely regarded as Australia's first modern skyscraper.[4] From 1986 to 2005, the city hosted Australia's tallest buildings in succession: the Rialto Towers (1986–1991), 101 Collins Street (1991) and 120 Collins Street (1991–2005). Since 2006, Melbourne has been the location of the second-tallest buildings in the country – Eureka Tower (2006–2020) and Australia 108 (2020–present) – both of which have maintained the title of tallest building in Australia measured to roof height, and surpassed in overall height only by Q1 on the Gold Coast.

19th century

The late 1880s land boom saw the construction of 11 "lofty edifices" of 8 to 10 floors, made possible by the introduction of a pressurised hydraulic power network to operate lifts, and taking load bearing brickwork to great heights.[4] The APA Building (Australian Building), at 12 floors topped with a spire, was by far the tallest, and can claim to be Australia's first skyscraper and amongst the tallest high-rise buildings in the world when completed in 1889.[4] Aside from the APA Building, a total of 11 skyscrapers were located in the Melbourne city centre during this period, including the Finks Building and 3 matching "Prell's Buildings". They were all built in an elaborate High Victorian style, with facades of stucco Renaissance Revival elements, except the APA building which was in red brick Queen Anne, prompting architectural historian Miles Lewis to comment that Melbourne had become a "Queen Anne Chicago".[5] All except two were torn down in the post war boom of the 1960s and 1970s, with the APA controversially demolished in 1981.

20th century

Following much discussion, a Script error: No such module "convert". height limit was introduced to Melbourne in 1916, along with regulations concerning fire-proof construction. This height is often said to have been the limit of fire ladders at the time, but this was an idea that the then fire chief allowed to be widely circulated even though the tallest ladder rose to only Script error: No such module "convert"., in order to ensure that fire safety was paramount.[6] The main reasons for the limit, as well as fire proofing, were the preservation of light and air to the streets, avoiding congestion, and the influence of the City Beautiful movement, preferring evenly scaled streetscapes over those with buildings of varying heights.[7] The height limit remained in force for nearly 40 years, allowing only uninhabited architectural features to project beyond the 40 metre limit. The Manchester Unity Building (1932), for instance, achieved a total height of Script error: No such module "convert". to the top of its corner tower.

Melbourne was the first city in Australia to undergo a post-war high-rise boom beginning in the late 1950s (though Sydney in the following decades built more), with over 50 high-rise buildings constructed between the 1970s and 1990s.[8][9] ICI House (1955) was constructed after being granted a variation to the height limit; at a height of Script error: No such module "convert"., the building was Australia's first modern high-rise.[10] Its variation was on the basis that the design included an open garden space at ground level, introducing the concept of floor area ratio, where a total allowable floor area is used instead of a specific height limit. This was formalised by "plot ratios" of 1:8 to 1:12 for different areas of the CBD in the "Borrie Report" in 1964,[11] which was modified into a series of "plot ratio benefit" schemes in the early 1980s, where the upper level of floor area could only be achieved in return for certain public benefits, such as a public arcade. Plot ratios remained in force for every site until 1999, when the "New Format" Planning Scheme included plot ratios for entire city blocks rather than individual sites, a control that was mostly ignored.[12]

In 1972, 140 William Street (formerly BHP House) became Melbourne's first building to surpass the height of Script error: No such module "convert"., and thus, Melbourne's first "skyscraper". BHP House was the city's tallest for a few years, and remains one of the few heritage registered skyscrapers in Melbourne. Slightly taller, the Optus Centre was completed in 1975, and then in 1977, Nauru House became the tallest building in Melbourne, at a height of Script error: No such module "convert".. In 1978, what would be the first of two Collins Place towers was opened, at a height of Script error: No such module "convert"..

By the early 1980s, Melbourne had a total of 6 buildings above Script error: No such module "convert"., with the completion of the Wentworth (later Regent then Sofitel) Hotel at Collins Place in 1980. In 1986, the Rialto Towers surpassed Sydney's MLC Centre as the tallest building not only in Australia but in the Southern Hemisphere, with a height of Script error: No such module "convert".. At the time of its opening, it was the 25th-tallest building in the world.[13] The 1990s brought Melbourne another 9 buildings over Script error: No such module "convert".; 5 of which exceed heights of Script error: No such module "convert".. Specifically, 1991 saw the construction of the Script error: No such module "convert". 101 Collins Street, which became the tallest building in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere; it was surpassed in height later that year with the completion of the nearby 120 Collins Street.[14] The skyscraper, which stands at Script error: No such module "convert". in height, held the titles for tallest building in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere for fourteen years, until the completion of the Gold Coast's Q1 in 2005.

21st century

File:AUS Melbourne, Central Business District, Federation Square, View 003.jpg
Melbourne's two tallest buildings, Australia 108 (left) and Eureka Tower (right), were constructed in 2020 and 2006, respectively.

During the 2000s, over 20 high-rise structures were completed, including the Eureka Tower (2006), which overtook 120 Collins Street as the tallest building in Melbourne, and further became the second-tallest in Australia (although tallest to its roof).[15][16] Eureka Tower was also the tallest residential building in the world to roof, until surpassed by Ocean Heights and the HHHR Tower in Dubai. It is currently the 15th-tallest apartment building in the world.[17]

Construction trends significantly increased throughout the 2010s, which included the completion of Prima Pearl (2014) and Aurora Melbourne Central (2019), both of which exceed Script error: No such module "convert". in height. Throughout the decade, the city experienced an "unprecedented" skyscraper construction boom,[18][19][20] with 22 skyscrapers constructed between 2010 and 2019.[21] This feat had been described as the "Manhattanization of Melbourne".[22]

During this period, new towers in the CBD had average plot ratios of 37:1.[23] In September 2015, the Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne, introduced a 12-month height limit of approximately Script error: No such module "convert". for all buildings proposed in the Melbourne central business district and segments of Southbank, along with interim planning laws that re-introduced a floor area ratio of 18:1, which could be exceeded up to a maximum of 24:1 only with the provision of certain public benefits. Should projects exceed the plot ratio, developers will need to make a special case to the Minister, outlining the proposal's state significance.[23] These controls were made permanent in September 2016.[24] Buildings proposed prior to September 2015, such as Australia 108, which has a plot ratio of 46.6:1, were exempt from the new law.[25]

The beginning of the 2020s saw the completion of Australia 108, which surpassed Eureka Tower as the tallest building in Melbourne and the tallest building in Australia to roof in 2020. It also became the Southern Hemisphere's first skyscraper to comprise at least 100 floors, and Melbourne's first building to be defined as a "supertall" skyscraper (buildings between the heights of Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert".). In 2021, 12 skyscrapers were completed in the city[26] – five more than the previous peak in 2020,[27] and more than double the prior peaks in 2017,[28] 2005[29] and 1991.[30] Among the tallest built in 2021 were West Side Place Tower A and Queens Place North Tower, both of which exceed Script error: No such module "convert". in height. Of future skyscrapers, 6 have topped-out, 7 are under-construction, over 20 have received approval, and another few have been proposed. The tallest of these is the currently approved dual-skyscraper project STH BNK by Beulah. Tower 1 will rise to Script error: No such module "convert". in height – supplanting Australia 108 as the tallest building in Melbourne and Q1 as the tallest building in Australia – whilst Tower 2 will rise to Script error: No such module "convert"., taller than any other completed building in Australia outside of Melbourne and the Gold Coast.[31]

The proliferation of skyscrapers in Australia over the past decades has also contributed to the city rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne.[32] Whilst the first skyscraper in Australia was constructed in Sydney in 1967 (Australia Square), Melbourne has had the most skyscrapers in the country and indeed within Oceania, for over 35 years in total; from 1972 to 1989 (equal first with Sydney during 1972–74 and 1976–77), from 1991 to 1999, in 2006 (shared with Sydney), and again since 2015 (equal to Sydney from 2015 to 2016).[33]

The central business district skyline is broken down into two distinct sections: the east and west, divided by Swanston Street.[34] The tallest buildings on the eastern side of the skyline are 120 Collins Street and 101 Collins Street, whilst the tallest on the western side are the Rialto Towers, 568 Collins Street, and Bourke Place.

Significant new skylines have emerged outside of the Melbourne central business district, especially within the inner-city suburb of Southbank. This precinct, located adjacent to the City Centre, includes some of the tallest buildings in Melbourne, such as Australia 108, Eureka Tower, and Prima Pearl.[35]

South Yarra, St Kilda Road (a locality adjacent to the City Centre), the inner-city suburbs Carlton, and Docklands each comprise a skyscraper. Other inner-city suburbs, such as Port Melbourne and South Melbourne each have skyscrapers in proposed or approved stages of development.[36]

Functions

Most of Melbourne's skyscrapers constructed by the 1990s were built for commercial purposes – specifically, used as offices, with 88% being designated as office space. Exceptions to this include the mixed-use building Sofitel Hotel (1980) on Collins Place, and the all-hotel Crown Towers (1997) in Southbank.[37] Melbourne's first residential skyscrapers were constructed in 2005, with two built that year.[38] By 2010, 72% of skyscrapers built in Melbourne were of commercial use, 12% residential, 12% mixed-use and 4% hotel.[39] The trend towards residential skyscrapers has continued significantly; in 2015, 58% of skyscrapers within the city were of commercial use, 26% residential, 13% mixed-use and 3% hotel.[40] These figures were set to change dramatically by 2020; when factoring the buildings that were still under-construction (but to be completed by 2020), 44% of the city's skyscrapers were to be of residential use, 35% commercial, 18% mixed-use, 2% hotel and 2% government.[41]
