Digital Harbour is located at 1010 Latrobe St, Docklands, it was completed in December 2006 and its architects were Ashton, Raggatt and McDougall.

Digital harbour is used for many purposes and is mainly commercial building, it was designed to be the first marketplace in Australia where small and large businesses could exchange ideas.

Though we didn't go inside Digital Harbour, but from the outside it looked great with the optical illusion on three of the walls. Although it is five star Green Star it looks quite sustainable and high class.
