Gorgeous Goods Shed North

Docklands master developer VicUrban has moved into the sumptuously-refurbished Goods Shed North building which runs between Collins and Bourke streets in Docklands.

Some 600 staff from VicUrban, the Building Commission and the Plumbing Industry Commission will inhabit the $63 million renovation.

The building is Victoria’s first heritage building to achieve a 5 Star Green Star Rating for its environmental values.

Among its environmental credentials are:

Active chilled beam heating and cooling;

Gas-fired tri-generation power generating power on-site;

Underfloor ventilation system;

Rainwater harvesting;

Grey water system for toilet flushing;

Constructed from mostly recyclable materials;

Dedicated bicycle storage; and

No car parking (encourages sustainable travel to work).
