Melbourne, 11 May 2026: Leasing momentum continues to build at Lendlease\u2019s Melbourne Quarter precinct, with the AFL joining a growing list of major employers choosing the inner\u2011city destination for their future workplaces.<\/p>\n
Located opposite Southern Cross Station on Collins Street, the $3 billion mixed\u2011use precinct spans 2.5 hectares and delivers 150,000 square metres of premium office space across three next\u2011generation commercial buildings alongside residential towers, curated retail and dining, and a network of parks, laneways and public spaces.<\/p>\n
Later this year, the AFL will relocate its Melbourne headquarters to the precinct\u2019s flagship commercial building, Melbourne Quarter Tower, under a multi year commitment. The tower recently achieved a 6 Star Green Star Design & As Built v1.2 rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, recognising world leadership in sustainable design and construction. The new headquarters will provide a centrally located, modern workplace designed to support AFL staff, clubs and partners, while maintaining close proximity to Marvel Stadium and the CBD.<\/p>\n
The AFL\u2019s move follows Jetstar, which is set to relocate to nearby One Melbourne Quarter later this month. The airline will occupy approximately 7,000 square metres across three levels, joining a growing mix of national and global organisations drawn to the precinct for its transport connectivity, modern office spaces, strong amenity and access to open green space.<\/p>\n
With more than 50 per cent of the precinct dedicated to public open and green space, workers enjoy direct access to new parks and laneways seamlessly integrated with a growing mix of retail and hospitality offerings designed to support the daily needs of workers and visitors.<\/p>\n
Together, the AFL and Jetstar add to an established business community at Melbourne Quarter that includes Medibank, Seven Network, Google, Energy Australia and Arup, reinforcing the precinct\u2019s position as a leading office destination.<\/p>\n
Following the recent completion of West Tower, the final residential building at Melbourne Quarter, the precinct is one of the largest mixed-use developments delivered in Australia in more than a decade and is already home to more than 1,800 residents and a daily workforce of more than 12,000 people.<\/p>\n
