Not bad but really Sydney has enough of a dense undergrowth of 150m towers. It really needs to have a couple 300m towers jutting through to reset the skyline.

Multiplex wins city tower site
The Australian 7/12/07
BUILDER Multiplex has won the hotly contested tender for the Sydney Water Building, paying almost $150 million for the office tower site.
Several big developers bid on the Bathurst Street site, which could house a 40,000sqm office tower in Sydney's increasingly tight office market.
While a refurbishment would be a quick option as Sydney's office vacancy rate drops, it is understood Multiplex will knock down and rebuild the tower.
Just as the builder won the project, Multiplex's veteran head of development has resigned.
Mr O'Regan spent 25 years with the company and departs in February. He started with Multiplex as a cadet in 1983 and worked on some of the group's major projects, including the Wharf at Woolloomooloo, Luna Park, King Street Wharf and World Square in Sydney, and was a founding member of Multiplex's development business.
Mr O'Regan is the second senior Multiplex executive to depart since Canada's Brookfield effectively took full control of the builder. He follows the group's head of funds management, Ian O'Toole, who left at the end of October as Brookfield executive Brian Kingston moved to head of asset management.
Multiplex's founding Roberts family sold the last of its stock in the builder into Canadian suitor Brookfield Asset Management's $4.2 billion takeover bid in October. Brookfield, which manages $83 billion in property, power and timber assets in Europe and North America, struck a deal with the Roberts family for its 26 per cent controlling

Thanks - I think my question was lost with the opening of this thread. It's always been a negative of the current design (well, one of the many :lol
that the interior of the old building was so difficult to access, where it was used. I understand that some floors of the old building were pretty much mothballed for number of years.....Kent
