Reinvention for a new era

Governor Macquarie Tower has reinvented itself to meet the changing demands of the commercial market, with new purpose-built offices to suit the more nimble occupier.

Co-owned by DEXUS Property Group, GPT and the Lendlease managed Australian Prime Property Fund Commercial, the premium office asset is now best-positioned to meet the needs of the new market, improve vacancy rates and attract new clients.

Custom-designed office

Schiavello Construction was engaged by the co-owners to create a design brief and new office product for level 27. Schiavello  Construction worked closely with leasing team Cadigal, to create a brief that was reflective of current market trends and tenant requirements. The result was a floor plan split into six separate, uniquely designed tenancies, ranging from 120m2 to 255m2 that focus on adaptability, flexibility and durability.

Each tenancy features all the essentials of a custom-designed office. All tenancies come with a reception, boardroom, meeting room, private offices, kitchen, breakout area, open plan and collaborative work spaces, and utility storage areas. Quality finishes and joinery were executed to the exacting standards required of the premium building. In addition, the project entailed base building works.

Complementing the contemporary identity

Schiavello also customised furniture solutions to complement the individual, flexible and contemporary identity of each tenancy. Krossi workstations and Marina meeting tables were powder coated in black and white, blonde timber Toro stools were supplied for the break out areas, and planter boxes were integrated into tambour storage units for their productivity encouraging attributes.

Proven track record in building upgrades.
