PROJECT
OVERVIEW
ANPLUS Developments’ first flagship commercial build of two separate and visually distinct office buildings over the 3225sq m site at 99-117 Islington St.
The development will feature a net lettable floor area of about 19,400sq m, and a ground floor food and drinks premises. There will be 117 car spaces and 206 on-site bicycle spaces.
Grimshaw Architects have incorporated outdoor breakout spaces and communal areas to encourage ventilation and wellbeing for building occupants.
The upper levels of the proposal have been designed to allow for flexible and adaptable workspaces, with smaller floorplates that attract the types of tenants for Collingwood.
The connection to landscape and outdoor amenity supports health and wellbeing for the occupiers including a roof terrace which can act as a building community space.
The plans also include for a “ground realm” with covered courtyard space, filtered daylight, premium end-of-trip facilities, and retail and lobby spaces.
The shared ground realm is proposed as a series of linked pockets that leads occupants from Islington Street through the activated courtyard to the lobby and the western courtyard beyond, and is aimed at providing an extension of the workspace above with integrated landscape.
Grimshaw Architects are honouring the typology of Collingwood’s industrial roots and have reimagined the warehouse in this development as a robust external frame with adaptable and flexible office workspaces within.

- 19,400sqm NLA
- To mitigate against the challenge on securing leasing pre-commitments for a 19,400m2 NLA building Point Polaris formulated a development brief and strategy to break the project into two buildings allowing for the staged leasing and delivery of the project as well as the ability to divest part or all of the asset in the future. The 'two building strategy' also allows for greater tenant flexibility providing different floor plate sizes, access to roof terraces of different configurations and world class end of trip facilities. The project is committed to achieving best practrice sustainability outcomes with the aim of achieving a net zero carbon building in operation.
