Victorian election 2014: full coverage
Melbourne is being transformed into a city of giants, with more than 20 new skyscrapers taller than 200 metres being constructed or planned.
In a breathtaking transformation of the city's landscape, developers are taking Melbourne to new heights, with the latest addition the bronze Prima Pearl tower at Southbank, which has now reached its full height of 256 metres.
Prima Pearl is only second in height among apartment towers to Melbourne's tallest building, Eureka Tower, standing at 297 metres. But among the new towers set to emerge, two skyscrapers are aiming to be even higher than Eureka.
