Intl Architectural Competition, Beulah Southbank, Melbourne

Beulah International Company proposed a mixed-use lifestyle precinct of over 220,000 sqm with 23,000 sqm of public programs located in 118 CITY ROAD, SOUTHBANK, MELBOURNE. It will play host to luxury apartments, commercial offices, 5-star hotel, an entertainment center, technological display centers (including BMW Experience Centre), world class retail, cultural precinct and public green spaces.

After a six-month global search, Beulah International is thrilled to announce Green Spine by UNStudio and Cox Architecture as the long-awaited winning design for the $2 billion plus Southbank site. Set to become Australia’s tallest building to date, Green Spine will be a stunning cantilevered structure composed of two towers, both with a twisting geometric glass façade and terracing.
