8 Exhibition Street, Victoria's First Carbon Neutral Office Building

Located at the East or ‘Paris’ end of Melbourne’s CBD, 8 Exhibition Street is one of Melbourne’s premium landmark buildings offering views over the Dandenong Ranges, Royal Botanic Gardens, Southbank, and Port Phillip Bay. With a focus on sustainability, 8 Exhibition achieved carbon neutral status under NABERS and Climate Active; and the project aligns with the international Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

3x speculative fitouts turned tenant fitout

Level 19

Intermain was honoured to work with GPT Group and CBRE to deliver Level 19, 8 Exhibition Street – a D&C contract consisting of an entire floor upgrade, make good and tenancy fitout.

Innovative Solutions

CBRE, on behalf of GPT Group, engaged Intermain to complete the extensive refurbishment and delivery of an entire floor upgrade, makegood, and three integrated speculative fitouts on level 19, 8 Exhibition Street, Melbourne.

While the speculative fitouts were under construction, the Intermain project team collaborated with a range of stakeholders, including the leasing team and provided prospective tenants with high-level plans and costs based on a needs analysis session and site tours; as a result, throughout the build stage, GPT secured long term tenants, Versent and Stax.

With a flexible and agile approach, the original plans were amended from speculative suites to tenant fitouts. With seamless collaboration, the contract was successful for all parties, with GPT achieving minimal vacancy and the tenant saving on downtime with their office already under construction.

Taking speculative fitouts to another level

Level 21

After the leasing success of level 19, Intermain were engaged by GPT to design and construct another full floor of modern style suites, divided up into four tenancies.

The brief from GPT was to create a level of speculative suites that stood out against the market and had a distinctly ‘Melbourne’ identity. Each suite was given its own personality to target all corners of the market with bold use of colour, custom joinery features and framed by the backdrop of the beautiful eye-catching views.

Being the size of two basketball courts, it was also important to emphasize and feature the impressive size of the space into the design to add to the appeal to a range of tenants.

Intermain were involved every step of the way, from initial concept, right through styling the spaces after the build was complete, taking the transformation of 8 Exhibition Street to another level.
