Planning minister approves Docklands development with Australia’s longest escalator

Capital Alliance have scored a win for their Docklands-based, dual tower development, after the Victorian planning minister granted approval for the project.

The $340 million, mixed-use lifestyle development will feature two hotels, a state-of-the-art conference centre – and Australia’s longest escalator.

‘Just like the Pompidou Centre in Paris this enormous escalator runs up the side of the building and leads to a fabulous bar and function centre,’ said Melbourne Deputy Lord Mayor, Nicholas Reece.

‘And just like at the Pompidou I am sure this new escalator will be renowned as one of the best rides in Melbourne.’

Other notable features of the development include a rooftop infinity pool that will be Australia’s largest, breaking another record. And making the new venue an attraction destination for local and international visitors.
