Shell’s decision to relocate its headquarters from central Melbourne to an inner eastern location was based on a recognition that there are alternatives to the CBD, as well as a desire to provide a modern and attractive environment for its 800 employees.

The new office embodies all the characteristics of a progressive work environment. Most workstations are within 12 metres of the façade and overlook a landscaped forecourt which provides a tranquil outlook for both the building’s occupants and the existing residential development adjacent to the site.
