The plans by the Vered Trust are for a 782.5sq m site at 34-42 Cremorne Street, Cremorne made up of several lots.

The Vered Trust previously filed an application for an eight-storey office building for 38-42 Cremorne Street but then aquired 34-36 Cremorne Street for $5.2 million in December 2021.

After putting together an application for a tower on 30-32 Cremorne Street, the decision was made to apply for permission for the nine-storey tower on 34-42 Cremorne Street, amalgamating the lots.

The plans, designed by Interlandi Mantesso Architects, have a nettable lease area of 4444.9sq m.

The basement level has parking for 25 bikes, 27 cars via a stacker system and one accessible car space.

The ground floor has a lobby, two tenancy spaces, amenities and storage for 23 bicycles.

Each floor up to the eighth floor has an office and amenities. Level eight has an office, function room, gym and a roof terrace.
