The former Carlton and United Brewery Laboratory site located at 200 Victoria Street, Carlton was purchased by Drapac in late 2006 as the seed asset of the Drapac Sustainability Fund. The additional two levels were added to the existing five-level building providing a quality stand alone office building comprising a mix of office and retail. The newly refurbished building contains a total area of approximately 8,000 square metres.
Innovative and sustainable design features were incorporated into the building to reduce its impact on the environment, to improve amenity for the user and to deliver positive outcomes to the community. Drapac refers to this approach as Comprehensively Sustainable Development (CSD). CSD integrates environmental, cultural, social and community outcomes into investment decision-making.
In 2009 Drapac was awarded a coveted 6 Star Green Star Rating for its state-of-the-art redevelopment of 200 Victoria Street, which is only one of a handful of properties in Victoria to achieve the 6-Star status.
The first tenant, EPA Victoria moved into levels 1 to 4 in November 2009. There are two floors currently available for lease totaling approximately 2,200 square metres as well as ground floor retail areas.
Drapac's next goal is to achieve a 6 Star Green Star "As Built" Rating for the project.
