The Australian Government and Victorian Government are partnering to redevelop the Elgin Towers as the initial Victorian project of the Federal Government’s Social Housing Accelerator investment.
The award-winning firm, Architectus, renowned for their approach to quality design of social housing, has been appointed as the lead architect for Elgin Towers, Carlton.
