A thing of beauty grew from one  South Yarra's most disheveled buildings, a  derelict budget hotel with a spooky past transformed into  5 new 225 square metre, three bedroom luxury apartments with amazing  city views, and  including a cafe and  rooftop communal space within the the iconic, octagonal building that previously loomed large on the corner of busy Commercial and Punt roads.

With  new  steel work, balconies and layouts that  created  amazing vistas  from every room, this  block no longer is stuck in a retro timewarp.
