The Circular Quay Tower is expected to be 263m high which if built today it would be the tallest skyscraper in the Sydney CBD however upon completion it will be exceeded by the Crown Casino Tower in Barangaroo which will be completed in 2020 and be about 10 metres taller.
The tower will contain 54 floors meaning it will be one of the largest office buildings within the Sydney CBD.
The developer for the tower will be Lend Lease which is the same developer which recently completed the Barangaroo South development. They won the development of the year award at the Urban Taskforce awards which shows the quality of development which is coming to this site.
The Architect for the project which has won the design competition is Fosters + Partners which are a world famous architectural firm which designed the iconic “Gherkin” towers in London’s Canary Wharf.
The total end value of the development is $1,500,000,000 which will be one of the most expensive developments within the Sydney CBD.
Location Map of the Circular Quay Tower:
As of September 2018, this tower is under construction with workers inside doing work & the building being scaffolded all round. Here are a few photos of the construction progress courtesy of “cnd” from the ozscrapers section of the skyscrapercity forums:
LendLease is doing a great job thus far constructing the Tower & they are very active throughout the Sydney CBD with projects in Darling Harbour & Barangaroo South.
The face of the Sydney CBD is changing & this tower will bring it one step closer to the Sydney CBD morphing into a truly global city centre for business.
