Skyscrapers of the 2000's
It's a few weeks until the first decade of the 21st century ends so lets pay a tribute to those towers that were built over the decade.
I'll start with some obvious examples to get the ball rolling from the Gold Coast. I dont have exact dates for some though. Gold Coast Circle on Cavill Towers - 2006   Chevron Towers  Q1 - 2005, Worlds Tallest Residential Tower  The Wave - 2006  Ocean Pacific, Broadbeach - 2008  Aria, Broadbeach  Meriton Broadbeach - 2009  Sierra Grand, Broadbeach - 2008

I'm pretty sure that the first of the Chevron towers was build in '02 and the other two built in '04.
More buildings:- Southport Central : 3 towers built in 2006, 2007, 2009. I love these buildings, they are funky and have some crazy colours.  tapperboy  michaelマイケル

LOL Perth has done terribly. Though I don't mind, the 2 we got were hot, and then of course there is whats to come....
This decade (towards the end) has seen a lot of changes to Perth on the street level, its fantastic.

And isn't great to be two months away from stopping prats saying "naughties" to describe the decade.

sydneys had some amazing skyscrapers built post 2000.
Angel place,Aurora place, cove, masonic tower,world tower, eandy, Duetchsbank,meriton tower, Regent place, aspect.and currently nearing completion-the hyde and 420george. Im realllly happy with all these skkyscrapers. All designs are results of architectural competitions, which i think other cities are starting to follow, because the result in the best design for the chosen site.
