BOVIS Lend Lease has achieved a milestone in the construction of 420 George St, Sydney.
The 420 George St building has topped off. With the building now at its highest point, a 12 metre recycled pine tree has been placed on the roof to traditionally mark the milestone.
Already commanding a strong presence in the CBD, the high profile building – on the site of the former MidCity Centre – will feature 37,500 sqm of sustainable office accommodation and approximately 9,000 sqm of prime retail space when complete in the third quarter 2010.
CEO Tony Costantino said the company was delighted to have achieved this important milestone in the construction of 420 George St, with the project on track to be delivered to schedule and within budget.
Fortius Funds Management vice chairman and executive director Ray Sproats stressed the significance of the project as a new landmark on the Sydney CBD skyline.
Sproats said commenced in September 2007, 420 George St is further evidence of the large scale, sustainable property solutions delivered through the Lend Lease integrated model.
Jointly owned by Fortius Funds Management and the Lend Lease managed Australian Prime Property Fund, the project is being developed by Lend Lease Development and Lend Lease Retail, with the latter also responsible for the leasing and management of the retail component. Jones Lang LaSalle is responsible for the leasing and management of the commercial tower.
