The development consists of two towers floating above a 5-storey sandstone podium that contains mixed use of retail, commercial and leisure spaces.

Key design objectives have been to integrate the design of the developments base at street level and to simultaneously establish a successful relationship to the existing historic buildings located around the site.

 

The two towers become increasingly transparent as they rise into the sky and provide a point of reference for the Central Sydney skyline.

The main 56-storey tower consists of a cluster of eight tall, slender smaller towers supported by a central core. This will provide high standard private residential apartments. The second 33 storey tower houses serviced apartments and recreational spaces.

Davis Langdon ensured a contractually tight Principals Project Requirements Specification to ensure the “buy” was defined.

Davis Langdon's role was to work closely with Foster and Partners and PTW Architects to ensure that a Principals Project Requirements Specification for a D&C type Contract was delivered.

This ensured that the successful Contractor (Multiplex) was tied into a lump sum fixed price contract where the Client fully understood what they were receiving as a building and Multiplex new exactly what they had to deliver.
