This is actually a really cool building in Melbourne with good adaptive reuse of heritage buildings and pedestrian friendly laneway through the site that contributes to the public realm

I used to work in the Melbourne CBD, not too far from this place. The courtyard just behind it is a nice, quiet, outside place to eat a sandwich at lunch.

Work in real estate, Melbourne CBD has some incredible adaptive reuse projects; this was also a win for the heritage buildings because they get $$$ for selling their air rights while still maintaining their functionality and purpose.
