AMP secured approval of the stage-two development application (DA) for the 49-floor tower last year.

The Quay Quarter Sydney campus will be a mix of commercial, retail and luxury residential space, and will spread over two inner city blocks, with a total site area of around 11,000m². It will also include specialty shopping, cafes, restaurants and bars.

AMP Capital real estate chief operating officer Louise Mason said: “We used this competition to specifically seek out globally pre-eminent designers of lifestyle spaces such as hotels, clubs, restaurants, bars and co-working spaces, who can bring a completely different perspective to how we would normally view, and therefore design, a commercial lobby.”
