Developers demolished the 1980s-built Walk Arcade to make way for the new structure, but preserved the site’s 100-year-old Public Benefit Bootery heritage façade. This restoration is one of Melbourne’s tallest façade retentions, protecting the historic streetscape while enabling modern development behind it.
Melbourne Walk fills a 50-year development gap in Bourke Street Mall, adding fresh retail and hospitality options to the precinct. It’s the first major construction project the mall has seen since the 1970s, bringing new life to one of Melbourne’s most recognised shopping strips.
