Golden Age completes boutique office tower on Little Collins St

Developer Golden Age Group has announced the completion of 130 Little Collins St – a 28-storey designer office tower that brings new energy, craftsmanship and confidence to the city’s Paris End.

Years in the making and delivered amid some of the toughest construction conditions in recent memory, the project marks a major milestone for the developer and for Melbourne’s recovering CBD.

Designed by Cox Architecture, Hecker Guthrie and landscape designer Jack Merlo, the tower sets what Golden Age describes as a “new global benchmark” for strata office design, amenity and sustainability.

“Completing 130 Little Collins is a milestone we are immensely proud of,” Golden Age managing director Jeff Xu said.

“The journey was not without its challenges, but the resilience of our team and the strength of our partnerships enabled us to deliver a project that exemplifies Golden Age’s commitment to excellence. It sets a new benchmark for Melbourne’s CBD, with no detail or expense spared.”

From its ground-floor arrival experience to its rooftop terrace, the building is positioned at the luxury end of the commercial market. The sculptural lobby – finished in Australian stone, rich timber and designer furnishings – was described by property specialists at Cushman & Wakefield as being “leagues above any other office currently being released to market”.

Above, 26 levels of column-free office space with 2.7-metre ceilings are designed to maximise natural light and accommodate flexible workplace layouts. Golden Age says the sun-filled interiors have been curated to support productivity, wellbeing and long-term performance.

The tower’s rooftop terrace is expected to become a signature feature – a landscaped space for informal meetings, outdoor lunches and client events, complete with a servery bar and sweeping city views.

Below ground, the end-of-trip facilities rival a private members’ fitness club, with showers, towel service, private change rooms, storage lockers, a lounge area and generous bicycle parking.

Art also plays a central role in the project, with Golden Age commissioning 11 bespoke works from local and international artists. The standout is a suspended paper sculpture by Dutch artist Peter Gentenaar, floating above the reception desk as a centrepiece visible from the street.

More than 75 per cent of the building is already sold, attracting boutique finance and legal firms, medical consultancies, hospitality groups and several Sydney-based businesses establishing new Melbourne headquarters. Sales have ranged from $1.32 million to $8 million, including a recent half-floor purchase for $3.22 million.

Golden Age’s latest project adds to its portfolio that includes Collins House, the Sheraton Hotel, Victoria One and major ongoing projects across Melbourne and Sydney.
