一项耗资1430万澳元的项目已经得到墨尔本市政府的批准，该项目计划拆除建于20世纪20年代的3栋老建筑，为一座40米高的新塔楼做准备。<br />
在赢得议会的支持后，位于Elizabeth St的前摩托车商店等建筑将变身改造为“垂直零售大厦”。
位于Elizabeth St 337-339号的前Peter Stevens摩托车商店将被中国开发商Longriver Group夷为平地。
而位于Elizabeth St 341-345以及347号的Cassells House也将部分拆除，以便为这个10楼高的新项目让路。
值得一提的是，以上地址的文物建筑部分将予以保留。
开发商向议会提交的改建申请中说明，Elizabeth St西北边的3栋建筑将被改造成7099平方米零售娱乐空间。
“我们的愿景是把Cassels House打造成为墨尔本新的零售模式之一。”该公司表示。
“它参考了墨尔本和其他城市的先例。”
“该项目旨在引入一个适应性极强的垂直零售大厦，将适应当前和未来的各种用途与发展。”
受日本建筑风格影响很大的项目得到议会的批准，该项目包括3层裙楼以及3楼和9楼的户外露台设计。
正门上方的玻璃中庭是设计的关键组成部分，该设计将大楼的每一层，也将楼里的每一个人都联系在一起。
开发商表示，将这里打造成为“垂直零售大厦”，既面向“市场需求和零售业的未来”，也是“呼应Elizabeth St作为传统购物街的悠久历史”。
工程预计明年完工。
开发商去年花费3150万澳元买下此处。

A $14.3 million plan to demolish three buildings constructed in the 1920s to make way for a 40m high tower has been approved by the City of Melbourne.
A former motorcycle store and buildings at the top end of Elizabeth St will be transformed into a “vertical retail building’’ after winning council support.
The former Peter Stevens Motorcycles building at 337-339 Elizabeth Street will be fully razed for construction of the tower by Chinese developers The Longriver Group.
Heritage protected properties Cassells House at 341-345 and 347 Elizabeth St will be partially demolished to make way for the 10 storey plus two basement development.
But the heritage facades of 341-345 and 347 Elizabeth Street will be protected, with their original shopfronts to be reinstated.
The developer’s application to council said the three buildings in the north west section of Elizabeth St, opposite Melbourne Central, would be transformed into one 7,099 sqm retail and entertainment space.
“The vision for Cassels House is one of a new retail model for Melbourne,” it said.
“It has been guided by observation and precedent within Melbourne as well as other cities.
“The project aims to introduce an adaptable, vertical retail building that will accommodate a range and variety of uses and spaces for the present and future.”
And a glass atrium on the south eastern corner of the site would “display the ‘event’ of the building to pedestrians at street level.’’
Plans for the Japanese inspired retail and restaurant development granted a planning permit by7 council include a three storey podium and outdoor terraces at levels three and nine.
The glazed atrium above the main entrance “is a key component of the design, tying each level and tenancy of the building together while exposing the theatre of people moving through the building.’’
The developers said making the site a “vertical retail destination’’ responded to “market demand and the future of retail while making a positive reference to the history of Elizabeth as a shopping strip.’’
Construction is expected to be finished next year.
The developer paid $31.5 million for the buildings last year.
