Light House Melbourne (also simply referred to as Lighthouse) is a residential skyscraper currently under construction in the Melbourne CBD, Australia.

Located on 450 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne the project was designed by Elenberg Fraser and developed by Hengyi Australia. The skyscraper will rise to a height of 218 metres (715 feet) and comprise 607 apartment dwellings across 69 levels. Upon completion, it will become one of the tallest residential buildings in Melbourne.[1][2]

Proposed in 2012, the skyscraper received planning approval by then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy later that year;[3] and in 2014, Guy approved an amendment to the plans which would see extra height and floors added to the development.[4][5][6] Construction on the project commenced in May 2015, with an estimated completion date of 2018.[1][2]
