Newspaper clipping about a block of apartments to be built behind the old grocer's shop at 17 Gipps Street, East Melbourne. As a way of working around height restrictions some developers are finding extra floor space underground. This block of apartments will be 7.8 metres high but 10.5 metres underground. Includes diagrams.
