The exteriors of the residential and commercial development on the site of the former Yorkshire Brewery are almost done. The development is the work of developer SMA projects, with design by Hayball.
Walking around Collingwood, I can see the 17-storey building from pretty much anywhere. The brick tower isn’t as visible anymore (and it used to be the tallest building in Australia at one point!).
There will be six apartments within the former brew tower itself, each taking up a whole floor.
Sorry for the poor quality photos by iPhone 4 is all I had.

There are also plans to demolish the silos at the historic Nylex site. Property developer Caydon bought the site in December last year, and plans to replace the silos with a 20-plus-storey residential tower, in a redevelopment project worth about $600 million. The historic clock will be retained and replaced on top of the new building.
Bye.
