When complete, UNO will not only offer apartments, but will comprise a lobby and concierge, private dining area, lounge, bar, entertainment space, media room, yoga studio, therapy room, gym, steam room, sauna, spa, swimming pool and outdoor cinema while an outdoor space will also be available for leisure activities.
The tower itself will incorporate the existing heritage building on the site, provide ground-floor retail and a childcare centre on level two.

Probuild’s Group Managing Director, Luke Stambolis, said the company was proud to be appointed by SP Setia following its other benchmark projects in Melbourne such as Fulton Lane, Parque Melbourne, Maison Carnegie and Marque Prahran.
UNO Melbourne will be Probuild’s fourth residential project with Elenberg Fraser.
“SP Setia and Elenberg Fraser have always created projects of distinction through timeless, considered design and UNO will be no different, with highly considered apartments and world-class residential amenities,” Stambolis said.
“This appointment is testament to the faith SP Setia has in Probuild’s extensive expertise in residential construction, as well as our commitment to safety and delivering Melbourne’s best quality apartments.”
SP Setia’s Australian CEO, Choong Kai Wai, said he was pleased to be partnering with Probuild to deliver the project.
“I’m incredibly proud of our team in Australia to get to this point in the development of UNO, which will truly be a new landmark for Melbourne’s skyline,” he said.
“We look forward to progressing our new relationship with Probuild, a builder who is committed to safety and delivering high quality residential apartments.”
Mr Choong said the central location of UNO Melbourne set it apart from SP Setia’s other projects.
“In addition to its exceptional residential amenity, UNO occupies a prime CBD footprint, within walking distance of the best Melbourne has to offer, including sought-after buyer criteria such as the Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Central and RMIT University,” he said.
Colliers International has been appointed to sell the apartments.
