a few tidbits on this tower.
It's the first tower above 200m to be built in the CBD since the early 90s (when the big commercial boom built 101 Collins, 120 Collins, Telstra HQ, 333 Collins, ANZ world HQ (now superceded by their Docklands campus HQ), Bourke Place, Melbourne Central and 530 Collins Street).
It's the first tower above 200m to be built west of King Street (for 30 years Rialto and 20 years Bourke Place have effectively been the height "Book-end" to the skyline in the west end).
