Gate 8 vs IODS 2026

Gate 8 East Melbourne is powered by the Gate 8 Tenants & Guests Mobile App. App feature included digital door access control, building information and updates, tenant and member handbook, access to special events and perks, visitor management and more... Gate 8 is a new icon located on the edge of the city, in Melbourne’s famed, leafy sporting precinct. Melbourne’s home of entrepreneurial and philanthropic innovation. The building was conceived and designed with one core purpose; to supercharge Philanthropy, Social Enterprise and the next generation of Australia’s great entrepreneurs. The building name - Gate 8 - is a nod to the world-famous Melbourne Cricket Ground under whose shadows we reside. The MCG has 7 gates of entry and in Melbourne one will often hear “I will meet you at Gate 3” or “Meet you at Gate 6”...Well now we look forward to meeting you at Gate 8.
