Muse April 29th, 2003, 10:23 PM It's a favourite with many. A classy Sydney "glassy". The lobby is too sparse
although there is a nice public space and grass area just outside.

Wouldn't we all. This is my Favourite Sydney building by a massive margin. Yes more height would have made it even more stunning.

Absolute stunner, beautiful, sleek and slender and sexy. One of my Sydney favourites. Needed to be taller and I remember back in the 80's while it was being built people not liking it. Stupid foooools....

Muse November 6th, 2005, 11:53 PM Wow, it's almost totally flat. 10/10Yeah, it's almost totally flat viewed from side on, but it's actually a rhomboid shaped scraper.
As you can see in a few of the pics below, re the rhomboid shape:

Valeroso February 17th, 2006, 05:53 AM One of the absolute best buildings in all of Sydney! Circular Quay and Sydney would look astoundingly different without this building, so it's an EXTREME asset to the skyline! I LOVE it's colour, and its sophisticated facade (I'm a huge fan of glass). Impeccable building!

nitro2038 November 6th, 2006, 02:32 PM Sleek and sexy. It's also in a very prominent location at Circular Quay. I agree that it would have been even better if it was taller.
Dyn.tek November 6th, 2006, 09:28 PM yeah,a very nice tower.
9/10
Brendan November 29th, 2006, 12:16 PM One of the best buildings in the country. It looks amazing when you are on the harbour in a ferry and you see the sunset reflecting in the glass. This truely is the "Gateway" to the city.
10/10.
