Premier Tower is a mixed-useskyscraper on the corner ofBourke andSpencer Streets, inMelbourne, Australia.[2]
Designed byElenberg Fraser, plans for a 294-metre (965 ft) tall building with 90-storeys were initially proposed in 2014;[3][4] however, in order not to cast a shadow on theYarra River to the south, both the height and the number of levels of the project were reduced in later plans, which were submitted to the Department of Planning.
In May 2015, Planning MinisterRichard Wynne approved the development, now consisting of a 246–metre high residential and hotel skyscraper of 78 levels. According to architect Elenberg Fraser, the design of the building paid homage toBeyoncé's fabric-draped silhouette in the music video for her 2013 song "Ghost", which captured the curves of the human form.[5][6] It was developed by Fragrance Group Limited at a cost ofAUD$430 million.[7][8][9]
Early construction on the project commenced in January 2017.[1] When completed in 2021, Premier Tower became one of thetallest buildings in Melbourne.[1][10]
