Elysium (also known as 54 Clarke) is an approved residential skyscraper to be located in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The project was developed by the Melbourne-based Matrix & Cube group and designed by BKK Architects.[2] Rising to a height of 243.8 metres (800 feet), Elysium will contain up to 288 residential apartments, across 75 levels, making it one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne.[1] The design is notable for its slender appearance – a width of 12 metres (39 feet) at its narrowest – which has earned it a reputation for being one of the "skinniest skyscraper [proposals]" in Melbourne.[3]
First proposed in 2011, the development on 54-56 Clarke Street received approval twice in 2013 by then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy; initially in February, 2013, which was later challenged through Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT),[4][5] and then subsequently in December, 2013.[6] A construction time-frame is yet to be announced.
