Australia Square in Sydney’s CBD, is one of the earliest examples of Lend Lease’s focus on social innovation. Designed and built between 1962 and 1968, our founder, Dick Dusseldorp, and architect Harry Seidler decided to change the face of city design in Australia.
The development of Australia Square was regarded as a modern masterpiece. It used new design and construction methods and new materials such as reinforced light weight concrete.The end result was Australia’s tallest circular building with a public plaza that finally eroded the barriers between office workers, tourists and passers-by. Instead Australia Square created a space where people from all walks of life could come together to meet, talk, eat and pass time. Learn More
