Elysium (also known as 54 Clarke) is an approved residential skyscraper to be located in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The project was developed by the Melbourne-based Matrix & Cube group and designed by BKK Architects. Rising to a height of 243.8 metres (800 feet), Elysium will contain up to 288 residential apartments, across 75 levels, making it one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne. The design is notable for its slender appearance – a width of 12 metres (39 feet) at its narrowest – which has earned it a reputation for being one of the "skinniest skyscraper [proposals]" in Melbourne.
First proposed in 2011, the development on 54-56 Clarke Street received approval twice in 2013 by then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy; initially in February, 2013, which was later challenged through Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), and then subsequently in December, 2013. A construction time-frame is yet to be announced.
