Wooden high-rise to bring cheers to old brewery site
The Age, 28-Feb-2011

The Grollo family plans to build Australia's first high-rise building from timber, at the old Carlton & United Breweries site in Swanston Street.

The $100 million building will be made from soft-wood panels imported from Europe and fitted together in weeks to make 50 apartments over 10 storeys.

The Grocon building, including its lift shafts, will be all timber, and will use similar technology to the nine-storey residential Stadthaus at Hackney, East London.
