About Eureka Tower
Eureka Tower is a 297-metre residential skyscraper on the south bank of the Yarra, designed by Fender Katsalidis and built by Grocon. It was developed by Eureka Tower Pty Ltd, a joint venture of Daniel Grollo (Grocon), investor Tab Fried and architect Nonda Katsalidis, and opened in 2006. Most of the building is privately owned apartments run by an owners corporation; levels 88 and 89 hold the Eureka Skydeck observation deck and a restaurant, which sold as a package in 2021.
