The Y3, 839 Collins Street, Victoria Harbour

The 39,000 m², 20-storey tower at 839 Collins Street was developed by Lendlease as a landmark building as the last major construction at the Victoria Harbour precinct in Melbourne’s Docklands. Known as Y3, ANZ is the major tenant (28,000 m²) along with QBE Insurance and the Port of Melbourne Authority as other major tenants.

The building was certified as achieving a 6-star rating under Green Star Design and As Built v1.2 and a 5 Star NABERS Office Energy rating.

ECS was engaged by Lendlease to perform the Commissioning Management role for the project. An additional commission to add value with the implementation of a Soft Landings approach ensured a more collaborative handover from the construction team to the asset management team and through the building fine tuning period.

Our engagement encompassed a greater scope than a traditional Independent Commissioning Agent role under Green Star. This demonstrated greater value to project ensuring a more integrated approach to commissioning and the planning of the process.

Client feedback indicates that the Commissioning Management approach assists with delivering a more integrated and collaborative commissioning process to deliver a project to the desired quality and to client expectations.
