World Pride Installation

In celebration of Sydney WorldPride, Naarm-based artists, LUCIANO and George Keats present Queer-ways, a series of augmented reality illustrated maps that chart the city’s queer history.

The exhibition, titled Queer-ways: Retracing Melbourne’s Queer Footprints, showcases a re-telling of Melbourne’s queer history through the voices of local queer people in a series of five maps. After initial research supported by the Australian Queer Archive (AQuA) and community consultation directly with Melbourne’s LGBTIQ+ community, LUCIANO and George Keats have charted queer experiences, locations of significance, and memories onto illustrated Augmented Reality maps of the city.

Broken down into sections, similar to pages in the Melway, the illustrated maps come to life through the use of Augmented reality, becoming an interactive experience for viewers. Viewers will explore Melbourne’s most iconic, and familiar, queer landmarks guided by local queer voices, such as Sally Goldner AM and Cerulean – Miss First Nation 2021.

The location of Industry Lanes, Richmond and the City of Yarra are significant to Melbourne’s queer history, acting as a meeting place between the north and south side queer cultures. Through this immersive exhibition, you can explore the queer history of both sides of the river and, if interested in learning more about the City of Yarra’s queer history, can complete the self-led Retracing Queer Footprints audio tours via the QR codes located on each map, and the Queer-ways website.

Queer-ways is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria and the City of Melbourne Arts Grants. It is on display in the courtyard throughout March 2023.

Christmas Celebration 2022

It was wonderful to celebrate the festive season with our clients who call Industry Lanes home.

The landscaped courtyard provided an ideal space for gathering and getting to know each other.

 

Complimentary Massages

We invited the Industry Lanes community to take a break from the grind to unwind with a complimentary stress-busting massage.

On Thursday 17 November complimentary massages were on the menu at Industry Lanes. Massage therapists, Pattie and Roberto from Purely Polished, were on hand to give our head and shoulders a little TLC and help us de-stress with 10 minutes of relaxation during our work day.

Portal members were given the opportunity to pre-book their complimentary session on the Portal Store and then head to the Building B Foyer at their chosen time to enjoy a relaxing massage. And, with 10 minutes of uninterrupted bliss from these professionals, it’s no surprise that our sessions were all booked out and we’re sure the community can’t wait for them to be offered again!

Bike & Blend

This October the Industry Lanes community got into the spirit of Ride2Work Day by bringing some cycling action to the building. We had two blender bikes from bike n’ blend setup in the courtyard for the community to blend their own delicious smoothie!

The sun was shining and conditions were perfect to get some exercise in to blend your own delicious fruit-tastic smoothie. Everyone had their choice of two delicious smoothies to blend: The tropical-mango ‘Tour De France’ and the coconut-berry ‘Penny Farthing’. It’s safe to say all members of the Industry Lanes community (even those with four legs) enjoyed the paw-fect afternoon treat and experience!

1R Exclusive Classes

1R Australia has officially opened its doors at Industry Lanes. But, before it opened to the public, the Industry Lanes community was treated to an exclusive pre-launch Reshape class, which is a full-body workout with quick rounds of treadmill-powered sessions followed by weight sequences. This is all set to a specially curated playlist and light shows to rival a nightclub, creating the ultimate fitness experience.

Attendees were treated to a complimentary glass of 1R’s signature Processo after the workout, and everyone walked away with a free 1R frank green reusable water bottle and another single class pass to experience 1R all over again.

Welcome to Industry Lanes

Last week we welcomed agents and incoming clients to our latest commercial development Industry Lanes, a vibrant, mixed-use a-grade campus style precinct situated in the heart of Richmond.

It was fantastic to take agents and clients on a tour of the buildings to see the quality end of trip facilities, the available floors in Building A and our landscaped courtyard that will deliver a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Church Street.

We are looking forward to seeing this magnificent development come to life as clients begin to move in in the next few months.

 

Abacus Site Tour

As Industry Lanes approaches completion it was a pleasure to host Abacus Property Group with a walk though of the site.

Hub Australia and 1R to offer premium amenity at Industry Lanes

Hub Australia, the largest privately-owned flexible workspace provider in Australia, has partnered with Salta Properties in a 12-year lease to secure two floors at Industry Lanes, Salta Properties and Abacus Property Group’s commercial and mixed-use precinct at 459-471 Church Street, Richmond.

Situated on the fringe of Melbourne’s CBD, Industry Lanes will offer a range of futuristic, innovative and comfortable working environments that transform the lines between working and living.

Hub Australia will occupy 3000sqm of space on the fourth and fifth floors of Industry Lanes, and will incorporate a café, business lounge and a concierge, plus a large 200sqm wrap around terrace with stunning city and suburban views.

Salta Properties’ Managing Director, Sam Tarascio, said he is thrilled to welcome Hub Australia to Industry Lanes in a newly formed flexible workspace partnership and long-term tenant.

“Hub Australia is a leader in the co-working space sector and we hope their clients enjoy working from Industry Lanes, it’s a new world workplace for the new world employee”

“Industry Lanes had been designed with the needs and desires of employees top of mind. The development offers first-class amenities with an activated internal courtyard and is conveniently located three kilometres from the CBD, with public transport and urban green spaces only minutes away,” said Mr Tarascio.

CEO of Hub Australia, Brad Krauskopf, said he has watched the Richmond and Cremorne area develop into Melbourne’s equivalent of Silicon Valley, and is excited that Hub will soon offer Industry Lanes as a premium co-working and office space.

“We believe appropriate workplace design helps drive creativity and productivity, plus caters to enterprising workforces with ever-increasing appetites for wellness and socially engaging areas. Industry Lanes is unique in the way that it has pulled this together,” Mr Krauskop said.

“Over the past decade, we have seen co-working evolve to include premium hospitality-led offerings, which Hub offers. We feel there is a great opportunity for our product to support the professionals, scale-ups and corporates that now choose Richmond as their preferred location for their offices,” Mr Krauskopf concluded.

1R, a new, no contract, high-octane fitness offering that will get the endorphins pumping, have also signed on as tenants of Industry Lanes. 1R will have its 450sqm state-of-the-art subterrain fitness studio over the ground and basement levels.

Richard Hansen, Victorian State Manager for Hansen Yuncken, the construction company that is building Industry Lanes, said the precinct will soon offer a world class commercial campus and exciting retail opportunities.

“Earlier this month, the construction of Industry Lanes reached the pinnacle of the construction process, known as topping out, with the formal completion of the commercial office towers.

“It’s an exciting stage of development, as we can now see the building’s final structure. Over the coming months, the façade will be finalised, the buildings will be made watertight and the tower cranes will come down. We will then deliver the final fit out and finishes to complete this innovative precinct’s three buildings and common areas, which include a mix of retail spaces, communal facilities, open-air courtyards, shared work zones and eateries.”

The site has a net lettable area of 18,000sqm, which includes 1,346sqm for retailers, 490sqm end of trip facilities, plus 160 carpark spaces, all targeting a 5 Star Green Star rating.

Pre Covid we spoke to those around him to find out what makes him such a successful leader. #saltaproperties #salta50 #50years #loyalty #integrity #melbourneproperty #50yearsinbusiness #successstory #leadership
