Vision for Global Sydney’s new financial service precinct now a reality at Barangaroo International Towers Sydney delivers world-class design Sydney, 8 December 2016: Lendlease has welcomed international architects Lord Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour from Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners to Sydney to celebrate Australia’s new financial services district, Barangaroo South. Lendlease Managing Director of Barangaroo South, Andrew Wilson said that Barangaroo has become an integral part of the fabric of the CBD, enhancing Sydney’s status as a global city. “The fundamental aim in the planning stages of Barangaroo was to be a world-class financial services hub, unlike any ever seen in Australia. Lendlease worked with international design experts including Lord Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour, and have now delivered upon this vision. “The combination of international design excellence and next-generation workplaces at International Towers Sydney, Barangaroo has created a commercial precinct that is already attracting leading corporate tenants who employ global talent. “It is absolutely fantastic to walk around the precinct and see people enjoying the place that we’ve created at Barangaroo; from the workplaces, new streets and public spaces, through to the unrivalled retail and amenity,” Mr Wilson said. RSHP Senior Partner Ivan Harbour said that the architecture firm is very pleased with the design outcomes of the precinct, which has been an eight-year journey from master planning to the delivery of the towers. “I am proud to have played a part, in this globally outstanding piece of city centre regeneration. “The commercial towers were always envisaged as the engines behind the creation of this new piece of Sydney’s vibrant CBD and were conceived as sibling buildings, each with a distinctive character and opening out towards the western harbour. The towers’ design turns convention on its head and creates a workplace for the future. We are thrilled to see these state-of-the-art workplaces being used and enjoyed by all,” Mr Harbour said. International Towers Sydney has been benchmarked against the best office developments in New York, London, Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai. Its large flexible floor plates have attracted leading organisations including Westpac, PwC, HSBC, KPMG and Gilbert + Tobin, and has added around 270,000 sqm of premium office space to Sydney – similar in scale to Marina Bay Financial Centre in Singapore and Canary Wharf in London.
