Seven Network is set to relocate its Melbourne operations to Lendlease's Melbourne Quarter Tower development in early 2025.

The company has leased approximately 4,500 square metres across levels 3 and 4 of the new tower on Collins Street. The new location will house Melbourne staff and broadcast and digital operations.

The Melbourne Quarter Tower is expected to be completed by mid-2024. The move is part of Seven Network's transition towards a more advanced facility designed for their digital future. The new location is in a critically important market for Seven Network and home to some of their most valued partners, including the AFL and Cricket Australia.

"Docklands has been a fantastic home for Seven Melbourne for more than two decades, but the time is right to move to a new, more advanced facility, one specifically designed for our digital future," said Seven West Media Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, James Warburton.

Lendlease's Melbourne Quarter Tower is a brand-new development designed to support both broadcast and digital delivery.

"Melbourne Quarter Tower is a brand-new development and will allow Seven Melbourne to be fit for purpose for both broadcast and digital delivery," said Lewis Martin, Seven's Melbourne Managing Director. "Technology has come a lot way over the past 20 years and our new home in Melbourne is being created with our digital future firmly in mind."

Lendlease claimed the relocation reflected \growing demand for premium, mixed-use office precincts like Melbourne Quarter that enhance the workplace experience, support productivity, and help companies to attract and retain talent.

Seven Network was advised in its negotiations with Lendlease by Tim Farley (National Director) and Mikayla Toy (Associate Director) from Colliers Tenant Advisory team, with the review of facilities commencing in mid-2021.

"The Melbourne Quarter precinct will provide the Seven Melbourne team with an iconic new home in Melbourne, with strong brand aligned in an environment that eliminates waste and provides best-in-class precinct and amenity within the highest standards of sustainability," said Farley.
