The Gadigal People of the Eora Nation
NSW
The Martin Place Metro Precinct as part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project has transformed Sydney’s historic financial heart into a cohesive, vibrant urban experience. The urban design integrates the 39 Martin Place and 1 Elizabeth Street towers with the historic 50 Martin Place and the new Sydney Metro Martin Place Station, including through-site pedestrian links to enhance connectivity and public amenity. The Tzannes led new planning controls have contributed to Martin Place’s character, increased density in an appropriate location, improved built form impacts and integrated built form, including to significant heritage landmarks. Featuring a 100-year minimum design life, this project sets a benchmark in sustainable urban renewal for Sydney.
The Sydney-Metro-Martin-Place project stands as a testament to world-class urban development and innovative design. Leveraging global infrastructure expertise, this project honours the civic, commercial, and cultural significance of Martin Place. It is a remarkable addition to Sydney’s urban landscape, delivering outstanding placemaking outcomes and exceeding customer expectations with its class-leading design. Over six years, 10,000 dedicated individuals and 10 million hours were invested to create a future-focused development. Through a partnership characterised by transparency, collaboration, and innovation, the project overcame numerous challenges, including a global pandemic and record rainfall, to create spaces that enhance connectivity and community in Sydney’s heart.
