Australia Square stands as an iconic landmark within the heart of Sydney’s CBD. This dynamic precinct attracts visitors from across the city, offering a diverse array of amenities including fine dining establishments, sophisticated bars, wellness facilities, public gathering spaces, internationally acclaimed sculptures, and striking architectural design.
Guests can enjoy balmy evenings at Ryan’s Bar, celebrate special occasions at O Bar & Dining, or engage in informal meetings with colleagues in the vibrant piazza. The precinct is also conveniently located within walking distance of several of Sydney’s most renowned attractions, including the Sydney Opera House, the lively Barangaroo district, and the tranquil Royal Botanic Gardens.
ARCHITECTURE
An icon of the Sydney skyline, internationally renowned Harry Seidler created an iconic CBD precinct with Australia Square. Replacing a city block of 30 different amalgamated old properties, he designed Australia Square which became Sydney’s first skyscraper. The 50-storey circular tower occupies only 25% of the site with a total floor space of 12 times the site area. The remainder of the city block is publicly accessible with usable outdoor space, including trees, a fountain and outdoor restaurants.
ART
Australia Square was the first in Sydney to truly meld offices with public spaces, art, dining, and retail in one site. Australia Square features specially commissioned art pieces for the public to enjoy. The vibrant and colourful lobby mural by American artist Sol LeWitt was installed in 2004. The building forecourt features 'Crossed Blades' by Alexander Calder, an abstract steel sculpture situated on the corner of George and Bond Streets. The sculpture in the piazza is titled 'Waiting' by John Johnson II (born 1930).
LAND
Australia Square acknowledges the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation as Traditional Custodians of this Land, and recognises their ongoing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the First Australians, and their Elders past, present and emerging. Australia Square proudly sits on the land of the Gadigal People who are one of 29 clan groups that are identified collectively as the Eora Nation. The Eora Nation is now known as the Sydney metropolitan region.
