700 Collins Street, Batman's Hill, Docklands700 Collins Street is a new building proposed for Batmans Hill in the Docklands precinct. It will be the first building past Wurundjeri Way on the Collins Street extension. The building is a joint venture construction by Folkestone Ltd and Leighton Properties Pty Ltd and comprises a building of 12 floors above Collins Street (18 levels in total) with a total net lettable area (NLA) of nearly 31,000m2.The Bureau would be the majority tenant, occupying just over one half of the building. The building is essentially an H pattern with a central core but the eastern and western sides of the building have large atria or "wintergardens" which act as passive thermal sinks. Typical floor plates vary between 2,100 and 2,600m2 depending on the use of the "atrium" or "wintergarden" zones. The site is on the south east corner of Batman's Hill precinct of Docklands facing Collins Street which has been extended from the CBD over the Spencer Street rail yards. It is very well served by public transport with trams running along Collins Street and direct subway access to Spencer Street railway station. Vehicle access is via Collins Street and through the rear of the building on lower levels with excellent access to the Citylink road network. Ample on site parking is available under the building with Colonial Stadium's car park also close by. The building is designed with large floor plates to allow for maximum flexibility in fitout options, with excellent natural light, inter-floor connectivity and 4 star energy rating for ecologically sustainable design (ESD). Space at street level has been allocated for the Central Computing Facility (CCF), the library and public education facility, although there is room for some flexibility in the layout. The inclusion of the atria in the design will provide good access to light for all occupants as well as connecting, both physically and visually, the northern and southern floor plates on each typical floor.
