National Bank House is a commercial skyscraper located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, completed in 1978, designed by architects Godfrey and Spowers.
[3] Located near the crest of the western hill of Bourke Street, the skyscraper was built in the mid-1970s as a speculative office tower, which was fully occupied by the National Bank of Australia as their headquarters.
In 2004, the NAB moved their global head offices to 700 - 800 Bourke Street, "National @ Docklands", both located in the Docklands precinct of Melbourne, but the bank still remains a full tenant of National Bank House.
In 2009, the building was fully refurbished by then owner ISPT in order to increase energy efficiency to 5 stars,[4][2] and the ground level was rebuilt with a new lobby, refurbished rear plaza cafes and street canopy designed by John Wardle architects.
[5] National Bank House reaches 161 metres in height, and comprises 40 storeys of offices.
