1 Macquarie Place (also known as Gateway Plaza) is a skyscraper on Macquarie Place in Central Business District of Sydney, Australia.[citation needed]
Designed by architect Peddle, Thorp & Walker, the blue glass-clad building reaches 46 storeys or 164 metres (538 ft) to the top of its spire, and it is very prominent on the Circular Quay waterfront. The tower contains about 470,000 square feet (44,000m²) of office space.[2]
History[edit]
The project was initially proposed in 1971 but due to delays construction did not begin until 1985.[3] Negotiations included retaining an old hotel on the site and redesigning the building as to not cast shadows on Macquarie Place Park.[4]
The building was sold before completion in 1988 for $325 million to a subsidiary of National Mutual.[5]
The University of Wollongong Sydney Business School is a tenant on the 17th floor.[citation needed]
