Quay Quarter Tower sets a new standard for sustainable high-rise development, integrating environmental responsibility into every aspect of its design, construction and operation. With a 6 Star Green Star rating and a commitment to long-term ecological impact, the tower is a model for future-forward urban regeneration.
Beyond the tower, the Quay Quarter precinct includes over an acre of green space designed to support community interaction and ecological resilience. Permeable surfaces, rainwater harvesting, and solar arrays across the Lanes contribute to a precinct-wide sustainability vision.
Quay Quarter Tower is not just a place to work—it’s a living system designed to evolve with the city and its people. By combining adaptive reuse, smart technology and green design, it redefines what a sustainable workplace can be in the heart of Sydney.
The building reuses over two-thirds of its original structure, significantly cutting embodied carbon and construction waste. This adaptive reuse preserves architectural heritage while reducing environmental impact.
Smart systems monitor energy, air-quality and water use in real time, giving customers transparency and control. Enterprise-grade wireless supports flexible workspaces, lowering space and energy demands.
Natural ventilation and daylighting are central to the tower’s vertical village design, with atria and terraces bringing fresh air and sunlight deep inside - reducing reliance on artificial lighting and HVAC.
The podium garden and sky terraces enhance wellbeing through biophilic design. Native plants, green roofs and shaded outdoor areas boost biodiversity, reduce urban heat and connect occupants to nature.
