Quay Quarter Tower

The old 50 Bridge Street building. Architects 3XN and BVN did a pretty good job on the 2022 remodel, although it looks like the engineers didn't screw it in correctly. Its white borders and cross-angle finish add character to Sydney's skyline, here lit by Vivid. The 1976 original AMP office building on the site which was showing signs of age has been stripped to the core and extended out and up, adding about another 50% floor space.

 

The 54-floor tower won World Building of the Year at the 2022 World Architecture Festival, with the jury lauding its 'radical sustainability strategy'. It also scored heavily at the 2023 global Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat awards. Owned by Mirvac, Dexus and Rest Super funds, its tenants include AMP, Corrs Chambers Westgarth and Johnson Winter Slattery lawyers, Deloitte consultants, Barrenjoey and Barclays investment banks and EQT private equity.
