About Kilkenny Inn
Kilkenny Inn, at 248-254 King Street in Melbourne, is under construction and not yet finished. Developer Hickory sought to amend the permit in November 2025 for a 48-storey residential tower, and in May 2026 councillors backed a ministerial planning referral for a 469-apartment residential tower on the site. Cox Architecture is named as architect, and Fender Katsalidis as the current architect.
