bourke place

Bourke Place is a skyscraper in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Completed in 1991, it is 223m high (254m including the spire), and comprises 48 floors. It is currently Australia's second tallest building, after Rialto Towers, also in Melbourne. It is located at 600 Bourke Street, in the central business district. Designed by architects Godfrey & Spowers, it is a modern style building. It previously served as the headquarters for BHP Billiton, and the company's sign on the outside of the structure was the highest in the country. BHP has since moved to a new building across the city in QV Village. The building's most obvious feature on the skyline is its sloped roof, which hides various communications equipment. The structure's facade is comprised of 170,000m² of laminated glass.
