The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) named Sydney, Australia’s Quay Quarter Tower as the 2023 Best Tall Building Worldwide during CTBUH’s annual conference in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur on October 16-21. At 50 Bridge Street tower, the 45-story structure was redeveloped starting in 2018 with architect 3XN, vertical-transportation (VT) consultant ARUP and VT provider Schindler, which changed the lifts from conventional-control single-deck lifts to double decks with advanced destination dispatch. It was the ELEVATOR WORLD 2023 Project of the Year in the Elevators, Modernization category. Redevelopment added nine floors to the property, as well as an array of carbon-reducing features that led to it earning a 6-Star Green Star rating. In all, Quay Quarter Tower won an “unprecedented” seven awards, including Best Tall Building, Oceana; the Construction Award; the Repositioning Award; the Structure Award; the Space Within Award; and the Urban Habitat Award for its heritage laneway development, Quay Quarter Lanes.
