There is something unique about the way a city comes to life at the
beginning of a day. Following a rhythm that has established itself over many
years, the gentle pace of early morning gradually shifts into a more dynamic
energy as the workday begins. Over the next eight hours or so the streets
experience an ebb and flow that is punctuated by lunch time and again
at the close of the working day.
In the evening the focus switches to entertainment and socialising
as restaurants fill up, bars begin to buzz and pre-show crowds begin
to gather. Melbourne has a philosophy that is remarkably attuned to
work and play. MY80 puts you in the perfect location to connect to a
full and vibrant city life.

modern grandeur whilst remaining warm and inviting. This is achieved by
the introduction of a rich mixture of modern materials to the common areas
that enhances the overall tactility of the building. Within the lobby is a first

a comfortable and convenient area to receive your guests or to conduct a
business call or meeting.

undoubtedly the rooftop sky lounge on

What you do today lays the
foundation for a successful future.
Education is an integral part of that
foundation for me. I love that I’m
so close to the campus. It means I
can maintain my morning training
regime at Albert Park and still have
plenty of time to eat before getting
to my first lecture. At weekends,
if I’m not competing, I can put in
some hours in at the State Library
of Victoria, easy. Melbourne city
is a great place to chill out. I love
browsing at Metropolis bookshop
on Swanston Street, grabbing
coffee from Degraves Street and
hanging out with friends down by
the Yarra.

Connect yourself
to the moment
Stop, be in the present, breathe deeply and relax.
You’ve fulfilled your commitments for the day and now it’s time to work out,
prepare a meal and unwind.
Time, one of our most precious commodities, is an exciting dividend when
you live in such favourable proximity to the city centre. You’ll soon discover
that all tastes are abundantly catered for here and whether you’re into
designer fashion or riverside dining you’re in for a treat.

RETAIL THERAPIST
I love being able to walk to work.
My job entails an enormous
amount of responsibility and
demands focus. I like to arrive
early, but not before I’ve enjoyed
a sit down breakfast at home. The
workday is intense but I’m close
enough that I can pop home at
lunchtime if I wish. In my business,
time is money but in my personal
life time is priceless. I work hard
and I like to relax with a stroll
through the Botanic Gardens.
MY80 allows me the time to fit
everything in and yet my life feels
like it has room to breathe, to enjoy
the moment.

Connect yourself
to opportunity
Melbourne is a city that has been built on entrepreneurship and
financial endeavour. Since the time of the gold rush to the highly
competitive marketplace of today it has maintained a tradition of strong
economic development.
Melbourne’s location, infrastructure and highly skilled workforce have
attracted both national and international blue chip companies to establish
a presence here. There is a thriving sense of adventure and speculation with
many new businesses starting up daily.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
They say that the opportunity of
a lifetime needs to be taken up
in the lifetime of the opportunity.
I agree. As my business grows
I’m expanding into other states
and territories. Communication
is crucial to me, it’s so important
that I’m able to maintain contact
with my networks. That may mean
conference calls from my home
office or a trip overseas from
Melbourne’s International Airport.
When I do entertain clients in the
city, I love the choice of world
class dining that we have here.
Convenience is a huge factor for
me in developing my business in an
effective way.
”

Connect yourself
to culture
If the cultural values of a community are what give it an identity of its
own, then Melbourne has a very likeable personality, a big heart, a very
stylish attitude and reason to be very confident.
Dominated by a thriving city precinct, featuring art galleries,
museums, theatres and cinemas that have a variety of cultural events
and performances on a constant rotation. The city saves a special sense of
occasion for the international arts festival and the comedy festival, the most
prominent cultural events of the year.

MELISSA:

WAITRESS
THEATRE REVIEWER
I love to soak up the atmosphere
at festival time. It usually coincides
with my time off from University
and so if I’m not serving audiences
their pre show meals, I’m joining
them at one of hundreds of events
taking place around the city. I love
the buzz at the big venues but I’m
also keen to see the little known
artist performing at the offbeat
venue down a hidden laneway. My
friends and I like to dress up when
we go out; I love a bargain and can
be very resourceful when it comes
to putting an outfit together, helped
by the fact that I’m so close to the
best boutiques and department
stores.
