A large part of the site for 101 was created by demolishing the 26 floor CRA Building, the tallest in the city in the mid 1960s.[3] It the first skyscraper to be demolished in the city.[4]
The owners of 101 Collins have implemented a strategy of buying adjacent properties to safeguard the building's views, particularly towards the south. As a result, Flinders Lane has experienced an emergence of new restaurants and bars in older buildings.[5]
101 Collins Street lends its name to a Yarra Trams stop that is served by routes 11, 12, 48 and 109.[6]
