Gipps Cromwell Quarter (GCQ) is Alpha14’s exciting new build in Collingwood, introducing 9000m2 of A-Grade, collaborative, flexible office spaces over 11 levels.

Perfectly nestled between Wellington and Hoddle Streets in Melbourne’s inner north, GCQ celebrates Collingwood’s iconic industrial history and style. Award-winning Hayball Architects have drawn their inspiration from surrounding historical forms and buildings and as a result, GCQ honours and respects Collingwood’s vibrant character and culture. GCQ’s exterior amalgamates varied brick, weathering steel and aluminum – a true testimony to Collingwood’s rich past, present, and future.

GCQ is conveniently positioned 400m from Collingwood Station with ready access to trams on Victoria Parade. Access to Melbourne’s CBD is easy, and Smith St and Gertrude Street are both within walking distance.

GCQ’s vision is to deliver an A-grade building with a future-focused, healthy workplace. In Collingwood, less than one third of existing office space is A-Grade. A-Grade buildings reduce a business’ average monthly sick leave by 44%, and the improved air quality increases productivity by 8-11%. GCQ’s additional facilities support the work-life balance. These include ‘The Oval’, a space for group fitness or wellness classes and seminars, a Rooftop Terrace with panoramic views of Melbourne, as well as a prayer and meditation space. GCQ also caters to those who ride to work, offering 62 bike racks, 226 lockers, and 12 showers. Through this promotion of work-life balance, GCQ supports the key notions of Attracting, Growing and Retaining employees.

GCQ encapsulates Collingwood’s iconic style and character in a single area, whilst also promoting flexible working spaces and encouraging a culture of work-life balance for all employees.
