A weekend away in Melbourne, while fun, can never quite encapsulate the cultural capital in all its glory. That is until last night when a pop-up brought the best of the southern city to one place. Residents and visitors alike were able to experience ‘a day in the life’ at exciting new project development Melbourne Square. The event showcased the best of the city in a pop-up, from its laneways to its restaurants and bars (including the likes of St. Ali, Chin Chin and Rosetta). The event was held in celebration of the new urban development Square that comes courtesy of developers OSK Property. The company has joined forces with Cox Architecture for its new precinct on an entire inner-city block that incorporates alongside its apartments, a park, retail, supermarket, and (most importantly for Melburnians) a dining district
