Collins House is a residential skyscraper currently under construction in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The project has been developed by both the Asian Pacific Group, Golden Age and designed by architectural firm Bates Smart.[1] Launched in 2013, the project received approval by the then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy in February 2014 as part of a "Super Tuesday", whereby five skyscrapers had been approved.[2][3] With a width of 11.8 metres (39 feet) at its narrowest,[4] Collins House has been designed as one of the world's slimmest skyscrapers and has been referred to as a "pencil skyscraper" or "skynnyscraper".[5][6] The development will comprise approximately 300 residential apartments across 61 levels, and will reach a height of 204 metres (669 feet)[7] — thus becoming one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne.

Construction on Collins House commenced in February 2016, and it is scheduled to be completed by 2018.[8]
