The Executive Centre to open flagship centre at 8 Exhibition Street

The Executive Centre (TEC) will open a new flagship centre at 8 Exhibition Street in June 2027, the operator has announced, bringing its premium private offices, coworking and meeting rooms to Melbourne's East End.

The 35-storey Grade A tower at the southern end of Exhibition Street is co-owned by Keppel REIT and The GPT Group. Keppel reports the building at 98% committed occupancy across 29 tenants, with a 4.5 star NABERS Energy rating, and says it runs entirely on renewable energy.

A new arrival and dining precinct

TEC says the building's ground floor is being reworked with a new arrival experience and a dining precinct, so the address works as a place to meet and eat as well as to work. The centre will offer fully furnished private offices for teams of one to more than 20 people, an executive coworking lounge, and meeting and event spaces.

An East End on the move

The announcement adds to a busy stretch for the precinct. In September, GPT opened 51 Flinders Lane, its $555 million East End development, which connects to 8 Exhibition Street by a new laneway to form one commercial precinct. GPT also reports that wealth manager Insignia Financial has committed to a 10-year lease across 8,400 m² at 8 Exhibition Street.

Parliament and Flinders Street stations are both a short walk away, with trams along Flinders Street and Collins Street.

What it means for tenants

TEC already runs Melbourne centres at 35 Collins Street and Collins Square in Docklands. For businesses whose leases end around mid-2027, the new centre is worth adding to a shortlist alongside the East End options available today. TEC has not yet published pricing or floor availability.
