1 Macquarie Place
Gateway Plaza[edit]
Gateway Plaza (also known as 1 Macquarie Place) is a skyscraper located at 1 Macquarie Place in the Central Business District of Sydney, Australia.
Designed by architects Peddle, Thorp & Walker, the building is clad in blue glass and stands at 164 metres (538 ft) tall with 46 storeys. It is prominently situated on the Circular Quay waterfront and contains approximately 44,000 square meters of office space.
History[edit]
The project was initially proposed in 1971 but faced delays, with construction beginning in 1985. Negotiations included preserving an old hotel on the site and redesigning the building to avoid casting shadows on Macquarie Place Park. The building was sold before completion in 1988 for $325 million to a subsidiary of National Mutual. One of the notable tenants is the University of Wollongong Sydney Business School, located on the 17th floor.
