| The new green heart of Sydney CBD now complete Construction giant Bovis Lend Lease has completed construction of Sydney CBD's newest green landmark 420 George Street, with the building officially opened this month. The project is the first office building to be completed in Sydney CBD since the GFC. Australia's latest example of high rise sustainable development, 420 George Street is Sydney CBD's first high rise building to achieve a 5 Star Green Star – Office Design v2 Certified Rating and the project is continuing to attract high profile international tenants. Global technical and management support services firm AECOM has just leased approximately 10,000 square metres of office space in the building, joining global tenants State Street Corporation and Virgin Active Health Clubs. 420 George Street, along with the Mid City retail centre that was opened earlier this year, is a Lend Lease development which is co-owned by Fortius Funds Management and Australian Prime Property Fund. Lend Lease's retail business is responsible for the retail leasing and ongoing management of Mid City. Bovis Lend Lease undertook the project management, design and construction of the landmark project and has also now delivered the first stage of the 10,500 square metre fitout for State Street Corporation, which signed a 10 year lease for floors 10-17 in February 2010. Bovis Lend Lease was awarded the contract for the project management, design and construction of 420 George Street and the Mid City retail centre in September 2007. Lend Lease design was responsible for the concept design, detailed design and construction phase services, as well as acting as the project's sustainability consultant. The project architect was Bates Smart. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
