A 39-storey commercial office tower situated above the future Pitt Street Metro Station in Sydney has been given the green light by the NSW Government, which will provide an abundance of new jobs for the local economy.
Originally designed last year by Foster + Partners and Cox Architecture, the tower is described as a vibrant mixed-use hub that will contain flexible office space, retail and dining facilities, intended to reflect its prominent setting within Sydney s southern Central Business District.
Australia’s largest public transport project, the Metro will revolutionise travel in Sydney. The office tower is another key fixture in the development, and will provide modern office and retail solutions for a city that continues to grow.
Pyrmont Shake-Up To Generate More Jobs
The New South Wales government has released its final strategy to transform Pyrmont, which envisions the area as a business and cultural hub with enhanced streetscapes, parks and public spaces.
The plans for the Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy (pdf), announced last year, include works in The Star, Blackwattle Bay, and Wentworth Park. The government will also utilise land from the Wentworth Park greyhound racing track to create parkland and open community space.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the strategy provided certainty and clarity regarding the future of Pyrmont.
“Our fundamental task was to encourage economic development while enlivening the peninsula, boosting jobs and providing for more quality public open spaces for everyone to enjoy,” Stokes said.
