Nauru House (also called 80 Collins Street[1]) is a 52 storey building in Melbourne, Australia. When completed it became the tallest building in Melbourne, until superseded in 1980. It is octagonal, and now has an aluminium facade.
It was built as part of an investment program by the Government of Nauru.
Economic mismanagement forced the Nauruan government to offload its foreign property portfolio, and Nauru House is now owned by the Queensland Investment Corporation.
