Intended to be a [mixed-use building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inaura) that would encompass homes, retail space and office facilities, the 582-606 Collins Street skyscraper design would consume 50% less energy than traditional designs of a similar nature. With the planning application recently submitted, the actual date of completion is not yet available. Zaha Hadid Architects has partnered with Australasian firm [Plus Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birthday-gift-wrap) to create the 582-606 Collins Street skyscraper design, which would be a crowning achievement for the brands, city and country. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mixed-use Sustainable Skyscrapers:** Opportunity for architects and developers to design and construct skyscrapers that are environmentally friendly and incorporate multiple functionalities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architectural Design:** Innovation opportunity for architects to incorporate sustainable practices and mixed-use spaces in their designs. - **Real Estate Development:** Opportunity for real estate developers to create sustainable skyscrapers that offer a variety of residential, commercial, and retail spaces. - **Construction:** Opportunity for construction companies to adopt sustainable building practices and construct mixed-use skyscrapers efficiently. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glass Facade Premium Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-office.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Emirati-Inspired Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symphony-tower.md) - [Eco-Conscious Slim Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil.md) - [Nightlife Nestled Tower Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercury-tower.md) - [Rurally-Inspired City Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziel-highrise-building.md) - [Future Urban Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astra-skyscraper.md) - [Diamond-Inspired Luxe Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-miami.md) - [Sawtooth Roof Apartment Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferrars-york.md)
