Located on the southern portion of the
22-hectare site, Barangaroo South will be major new extension of
the Sydney CBD, reinforcing Sydney's position as a key financial
centre in the Asia Pacific. Developed in partnership with
Lend Lease, it will be the financial headquarters for top
Australian and international corporations and yet allow for people
to simply enjoy the waterfront.
Setting new standards in sustainability,
Barangaroo South will be a true mixed use precinct consisting of
commercial office buildings, residential apartments, an
international hotel, shops, cafes, restaurants, and cultural
facilities. There will be direct public transport
connections, including a major pedestrian connection through to
Wynyard station and the city.
Over the next decade Barangaroo's financial hub
will create a benchmark home for international banks, financial and
professional services companies. Barangaroo will take
Sydney's financial services infrastructure to a new level - 300,000
square metres of large floor plate, premium grade energy efficient
office space.
Barangaroo is delivering a multi-billion dollar
stimulus to the NSW economy, providing employment opportunities and
job skilling for thousands of people.
Preliminary investigation and construction work
started in late 2010, and the first building should be completed in
2015.
