This impressive high-rise student accommodation features over 700 fully self-contained studios across 47 levels, along with various amenities and retail spaces. Completed in 2018, Scape Swanston sets a benchmark for student living in Australia.
Conveniently located at the gateway to the city’s academic precinct, it is near Australia’s top universities and offers easy access to retail and public transport with two street frontages—Swanston Street and Little La Trobe Street.

The ground floor features a café and retail outlets.
On the 38th level, students can access high-tech IT facilities, a gymnasium, and laundry amenities, as well as bicycle hire services and parking for 157 bicycles, promoting an active and sustainable lifestyle.
