An apartment building in South Perth is set to be the world’s tallest hybrid timber tower, after Melbourne developer James Dibble’s Grange Development got the go-ahead from Western Australia’s Joint Development Assessment Panel to build it.

The 191.2-metre, 50-storey structure, designed by architects Elenberg Fraser, will be built at 6 Charles Street near the Perth Zoo, It will be notably taller than Atlassian’s hybrid timber tower in Sydney, which is under construction and set to top out at 180 metres when completed in 2025. No time frame for the construction of the C6 apartments has been given.
