For Adidas—the second-biggest sportswear maker and the owner of arguably the three best-known stripes in the world—Christmas can’t come soon enough.

By the end of next month, Fortis Development Group expects practical completion of its $130-million, eight-storey office building at Dover Street, in the inner-city suburb of Cremorne.

And Adidas will move its Melbourne headquarters north to the 2726sq m it has taken on levels six and seven of the Fieldwork Architects-designed building.
