PLANNING Minister Justin Madden will open Becton�fs distinctive glass One East Melbourne apartment complex later this month.

The tower is the final piece in a 17-year redevelopment of the former Jolimont rail yards, which Becton acquired from the State Government in stages.

One East Melbourne includes a 19-level, 85-unit apartment tower, topped by a rooftop garden.

Interiors in the residential tower were designed by Claudio Silvestrin, whose other projects include the Tate Gallery in London, Prada�fs headquarters in Rome and Calvin Klein and Armani stores throughout Europe.

A Becton spokeswoman said most of the building�fs residents have already moved into the tower.

A new six level office building, also developed by Becton on the Joliment rail yard site, was listed for sale in July and is expected to sell for about $30 million.
