150 Lonsdale Reimagined

If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that there’s an opportunity for modern workplaces to evolve into engaged human spaces people will actually want to use. Pioneering health and hygiene measures, dedicated wellness hubs, restorative green spaces for recharging – these future-ready workplace transformations are set to revolutionise office life as we know it.

Wesley Place is a destination that seamlessly blends work and play, offering Melbourne’s quintessential culture and lifestyle in the heart of the CBD. As one of its feature buildings, 150 Lonsdale Street merges those sensibilities with future-ready A Grade commercial offices to deliver an inspired workplace with unrivalled amenities. Living within Wesley Place is a lush green urban sanctuary — one of only four public green spaces in Melbourne’s CBD , set to feature an abundance of curated events and pop-ups. To maintain the legacy of the location, five heritage buildings have been sensitively restored, providing the community a hub that’s both time-honoured and timely. Tenants and the community can visit these timeless locations, be it the Wesley Church for a moment of quite contemplation, the Manse for famous Melbourne coffee, or the Former School House which will be a nourishing wellness centre.

Charter Hall’s existing 27-level commercial building at 150 Lonsdale Street will be completely transformed by renowned architecture firm, Cox Architecture – creating a new $300 million, 29,000 square meter future-proofed office building. The development focusses on pioneering health and wellness facilities and seamlessly-integrated technology, with its Gold WIRED technology rating demonstrating the building’s high level of connectivity. An inspiring workplace destination for forward-thinking businesses, the new 150 Lonsdale Street will set the standard for the future of commercial office buildings in this country.

As you approach the new 150 Lonsdale Street you will be greeted by a striking elevated arrival experience – with the façade, entrance and ground level lobby completely transformed. A six-level podium extension will be topped with a stunning outdoor terrace, reserved for exclusive level six tenant use.

Inside, the major update will provide tenants with leading retail and amenity. The lobby and arcade will feature a quintessentially Melbourne barista bar and café, while a dedicated concierge service will offer everything from a dry-cleaning pick-up and drop-off service to business centre bookings.

Comprehensive health and wellness facilities have been designed to nurture the modern worker, ensuring 150 Lonsdale is the ultimate destination for work-life balance. An exclusive tenant wellness hub on level one will provide a customised yoga space designed for quiet contemplation, while an extensive hotel-style end-of-trip facility will offer a convenient place to refresh. Fitted bike racks encourage an active commute, underscoring Charter Hall’s commitment to sustainable design. These luxurious building amenities are in addition to the breadth of offering available throughout the Wesley Place precinct.

150 Lonsdale’s enviable position in the heart of Melbourne’s bustling CBD ensures tenants easy access to the very best of this vibrant city.  A new pedestrian arcade offers a great connection point to Little Lonsdale Street, with a dedicated barista bar granting tenants easy access to Melbourne’s world-renowned coffee scene. Tenants will have a plethora of laneways and restorative green spaces in their direct vicinity, making 150 Lonsdale Street a transformative address designed to inspire.

We also know that health and hygiene is paramount in a post-COVID-19 environment, so 150 Lonsdale Street will incorporate leading technology solutions for high touchpoint areas. These innovative features include door-less entry to amenities and end-of-trip facilities, LED sensor access to bathrooms and touch-free technology for flushing and soap or tap activation.

To help create a better workday, tenants will have access to Charter Hall’s exclusive Charli workplace experience app. Through Charli, tenants can pre-order their morning coffee from one of 150 Lonsdale Street’s cafes before they arrive, book exclusive building events such as lunchtime yoga in the wellness centre or raise building service requests in real time. The app also grants users convenient access to the building and lifts with a mere tap of their phone screen – simple as that.

With a seamless connection to Wesley Place, Melbourne’s newest work and lifestyle precinct, 150 Lonsdale Street’s abundant offering will provide the ultimate workplace experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the transformed 150 Lonsdale Street - the perfect place to meet, connect, imagine, create and recharge.
