The Southgate development, which includes a shopping precinct, the Sheraton Towers hotel and new office buildings for The Herald and Weekly Times Pty Ltd and IBM were built soon after in stages between 1990–93, and combined with a new Sunday arts and crafts market, attracted tourists to the area. Further buildings including the Esso headquarters were built between 1992 and 1995. In 1987 the Port Melbourne Railway Line was closed and converted to light rail, running up Clarendon Street and into the city, freeing up the land of the raised viaduct, and with the State Government combining surrounding land which it already owed, allowed the development along the Yarra River westward, with the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre in 1996 and Crown Casino in 1997.
