This landmark CBD development is an all-in-one hub for tenants in a contemporary workplace environment complemented by an array of boutique retail and refined food & beverage offerings.
In a seamless fusion of podium and tower, 60KW is attuned to its context, fostering urban connections, celebrating our cities’ premier commercial boulevard and bestowing a pinnacle of quality-built form for the city of Adelaide.
This project marks a highly successful collaboration with our client Charter Hall, standing as a benchmark for the future of urban renewal in mixed-used developments.
Commendation for Commercial Architecture
60 King William Street sets a new benchmark for office design, integrating industry-leading sustainability, wellness, retail and office functions. This landmark mixed-use development celebrates its context and successfully mediates between the intimate scale of James Place and the grander King William Street precinct. This fine example of contemporary commercial architecture enhances Adelaide’s urban fabric.
An impressive addition to King William Street and James Place, the elegance and quality of 60 King William delivers strongly on its conceptual framework and intentions, respectfully enhancing public experience in the precinct.
The jury were impressed by the consideration of user experience, with design aspects that reflect the established culture on both sides of the building – grand civic and commercial on King William Street and fine grain retail and cafes on James Place. The creation of Kings Laneway between the two provides activation, supports diverse use, and fosters pedestrian circulation.
As more tenancies become occupied, additional activation of the building will continue to enrich its contribution to the city fabric over time, making 60 King William Street a worthy recipient of the City of Adelaide Prize
As an exciting benchmark for urban renewal and future-thinking mixed-use precinct, 60 King William has successfully delivered the ultimate commercial and retail destination, optimised to elevate the workday.
The innovative design of Adelaide’s first sky lobby for our high-rise tenants, industry-leading technologies throughout, heritage integration, third spaces, and our new retail laneway has provided Charter Hall with that exclusive value-add offering to both our tenants and the community.
