Sydney's Quay Quarter Tower Completes Construction

Sydney's Quay Quarter Tower, which reuses 68% of a 1970s office block's structure, finished construction at Circular Quay.

Multiplex completed construction of AMP Capital's Quay Quarter Tower, a 50-storey office building at 50 Bridge Street, Sydney, on 19 April 2022^[3]
The tower reuses 68% of the existing 1970s AMP Centre structure (its core, 66% of columns, beams and slabs and 95% of internal walls), and is called the world's first upcycled skyscraper^[2]
A 45,000 m2 office building became 89,000 m2 of office space plus a 4,000 m2 retail podium; the four-year build saved more than 8,000 tonnes of embodied carbon^[3]
Designed by 3XN with BVN, with five shifting glass volumes stacked with atriums; ratings include 6 Star Green Star and 5.5 Star NABERS Energy^[3]
The project was 89 per cent pre-leased at completion, with tenants including Deloitte, Corrs Chambers Westgarth and AMP^[3]
Construction began in early 2018 and topped out in early 2021; the tower later won World Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival (December 2022)^[2]
