Green light for new Parramatta office building
28 May 2018
Dexus:
Parramatta City Council has given the green light to Dexus to progress
the development of a 33-storey office
tower at
140 George Street,
Parramatta setting a new benchmark in office design for
Sydney’s fastest growing city.
Dexus Chief Investment Officer, Ross Du Vernet said: “This development
will deliver a world-class office
building and strongly supports
Parramatta’s growth as a place to
invest and to do business. Parramatta continues to attract quality
tenants who are enticed by the city’s dynamic
workforce, interconnected
transport options and vibrant lifestyle offerings.”
140 George Street will be an A-Grade
office building across 45,700
square metres, designed with large, open, contiguous floorplates to
maximise fitout flexibility, daylight access and views.
Located on the corner of George and Charles Streets, 140 George Street
capitalises on the site’s unique riverside location, offering extensive
views to the north over the river as well as back to Sydney’s CBD.
The
Bates Smart design considers how the building could benefit the
overall
wellbeing of its occupants through the incorporation of
high-quality services and exercise facilities such as a gymnasium and
swimming pool. Retreat spaces are offered with outdoor terraces, a café
and open spaces to capture the sun and fresh air.
In addition, naturally-lit stairs are provided to enable easy movement
between each floor. The slender floor plate with an end core will ensure
all occupants have great access to natural light and the sweeping views
across Parramatta.
At street level, the base of the tower will be activated with a range of
facilities offering amenities accessible to all the occupants of the
surrounding commercial precinct.
With a focus on sustainability, the high quality façade design balances
access to natural daylight against thermal performance. The building
will target a 5 Star
Green Star Design and 5 star
NABERS Energy
performance.
