07 November 2018
Laing O’Rourke:
After 30 months of construction,
100 Mount Street, North Sydney
has reached its highest level, marking a significant milestone for this
landmark building.
100 Mount Street is a 35 Level, new-generation office building spanning
42,100 square metres that has become the tallest commercial tower on the
North
Sydney skyline. The development will adopt the latest insmart
building
technology, setting a new benchmark for office on
Sydney’s north
shore.
The development is owned by
Dexus and Dexus Wholesale Property Fund and
is being built by Laing O’Rourke, who are also an anchor tenant. The
development has attracted strong interest from innovative businesses,
including NBN Co, and is 63% leased ahead of the expected completion in
early 2019.
At a ceremony to mark the impending ‘topping out’ of the building,
Dexus Chief Investment Officer, Ross Du Vernet, said:
“We are excited to be leading North Sydney’s revitalisation through the
creation of our premium office development which will bring around 4,000
workers to the North Sydney CBD.”
Laing O’Rourke’s Australia Hub Managing Director, Cathal
O’Rourke, said: “Offering sweeping views over Sydney Harbour
towards the Sydney CBD, this building incorporates the latest
innovations in high rise design and construction. 100 Mount Street will
feature high levels of customer amenity including premium end-of-trip
facilities, concierge and smart building connectivity designed to
provide customers with flexibility. The building adopts a number of
sustainability initiatives, including a double skin façade, that will
enhance customer comfort and significantly reduce energy consumption.”
Trent Zimmermann MP, Member for North Sydney, said:
“The construction of this landmark building reinforces Sydney’s global
reputation as one of the most dynamic growth cities of the world,
providing benefits to the public and the economy, including healthier
built environments, energy efficiency and employment drivers.”
The Member for North Shore, Felicity Wilson MP, also
attended the ceremony saying: “100 Mount Street is a symbol of the
continued strength of the
NSW economy. The Government is investing in critical infrastructure
that will provide new connectivity benefits to the workers at 100 Mount
Street, with the nearby new
Victoria Cross Metro Station making commuting and doing business
easier.”
North Sydney Mayor Jilly Gibson congratulated Dexus and
Laing O’Rourke for their commitment to North Sydney, saying the
development “will enhance the vibrancy of the North Sydney CBD through
the activation of a prominent corner, bringing this area of the CBD to
life through the provision of new retail and restaurants for the local
community.”
Mayor Gibson spoke highly of the project team’s engagement with local
community groups to ensure a legacy for the North Sydney community.
“It’s fantastic to see the project team so engaged with local groups
such as the Greenway Tenants Association, which has benefitted from IT
support and fundraising activities that have secured a minibus for
faster access to hospital and social outings.
“Students from North Sydney’s Monte Sant’Angelo Mercy College have also
benefitted from the project, gaining invaluable exposure to the
mechanics of construction on 100 Mount Street through Laing O’Rourke’s
inspiring STEM+ (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Program
which encourages female students to follow an educational and personal
development path within STEM subjects.”
