Major Milestone: 344 City Road is Officially ‘Topped Out’

Construction Update

We are proud to announce Madison Grand by GQ (GURNER™ and Qualitas) is officially topped out at 344 City Road, Southbank.

We rolled out the red carpet in celebration with clients and crew on-site. A round of applause to Bobbi Beans for supplying the coffee (the second-best way to cheers).

 

The Vision

We’re working closely with our client, GQ to redefine the Built-to-Rent (BTR) market’s upscale segment. Taking their ethos of creating spaces that inspire and energise the people who live in them, we’ve embarked on a project that strives to consistently raise the benchmark for luxury lifestyle in Australia.

Known as Madison Grand, the vision for this 40-storey BTR apartment tower aims to embody their take on luxury living. Bringing architecture, interior design, landscaping and lifestyle to new dimensions – this space is set to evoke emotion and nurture connection.

 

The Location

Nestled in Southbank, the site boasts a healthy balance of all that Melbourne has to offer – proximity to the vibrant CBD and the serene Yarra River, while also offering easy access to the tranquillity of South Melbourne.

(A brief walk down memory lane: the site has a history – its previous incarnation was a youth hostel with an underground nightclub called Eve.)

 

What to expect:

Madison Grand offers an array of luxe lifestyle amenities. The usual suspects encompass a range of private bars, lounges, outdoor BBQ areas and a fully equipped resident’s gym. They’ve stepped it up a notch with 5 pools, a sauna & a steam room. Every facet of human connection is thoughtfully catered to in a luxury living context, enhancing and enriching a resident’s lifestyle at every turn.

 

What we’re excited to unveil

We cannot overlook the striking gold façade of 344 City Road. This will set the tower apart instantly, considering its prominent location adjacent to the freeway.

Upon completion, its iconic ‘crown’ and illuminated feature façade will further elevate its distinctive look, making Madison Grand a true landmark in the area.
