A plethora of big names are gunning for a $1.1 billion tower in Sydney, Australia. From the U.S., HOK, SOM, and KPF are vying for the commission. A stellar list of firms in their own right, British firms Foster + Partners and David Chipperfield Architects are also in running, alongside Australia’s BVN and Hassell.
The lucrative project is an office skyscraper backed by developer Lendlease and located on 182 George Street. Nestled within Sydney’s, Circular Quay—a prime piece of real estate—the office, according to the Architect’s Journal, would climb to 813 feet.
