The Pavilion - 388 George Street Sydney

Constructed in 1976, 388 George Street was designed by Australian architect John Andrews and formerly known as King George Tower.

 

Refurbished in 1998 and 2009, the 28-storey office building now has a new tower lobby and state-of-the-art end-of-trip facilities.

 

The refurbishment delivers 38,364 sqm of A-Grade commercial office space and 2,680 sqm of prime retail space to Sydney’s CBD.

 

The transformation includes new interconnecting stairs to enhance connectivity and collaboration. Upgrade works also included new ceilings, carpets, bathrooms, lift floor lobbies and on-floor amenities.

 

Design features include a stone concierge desk carved from solid blocks of London white marble, each weighing 200 kilograms.

 

The second and final stage of the project will see the delivery of a brand new FJMT-designed mixed-use pavilion to complete the project.

 

The mixed-use pavilion, due for delivery later this year, will add five-storeys of commercial and retail space, a rooftop bar and flagship retail stores.

 

“Not only have we added significant value by upgrading the existing commercial tower and developing the new retail podium on a dormant part of the site, we have also enhanced the site’s connectivity to George and King streets,” says Danny Poljak, executive vice president and co-head of Brookfield Properties.

 

“The development will completely transform this busy city corner and integrate with the newly pedestrianised George Street with a through-site link planned in the next stage linking to King Street.”

 

The project, which is being delivered by construction partner Multiplex, created over 250 jobs during construction.
