Chifley South. 

This development is really starting to take shape with stunning facade becoming visible above the barriers. 

I would have preferred some direct sunlight, however due to the south west aspect, it will be another month or so before the sun starts hitting the facades.

Not an easy building to photograph at ground level so the drone got a good workout. 

------------------------------

The Chifley South project is a $1.8 billion commercial expansion at 2 Chifley Square in Sydney CBD. Designed as a companion building to the existing 1992 Chifley Tower (now designated as Chifley North), the development will expand the overall precinct into a $3.8 billion, twin-tower complex.

Key Architectural & Structural Features

- Companion Urban Ensemble: Designed by Bates Smart to harmonize with Kohn Pedersen Foxโ€™s original 1992 Art Deco-inspired Chifley North tower without directly copying it.
- Reimagined Podium & Double-Height Arcade: The existing podium is being partially demolished and reconfigured to introduce a double-height pedestrian arcade connecting Hunter and Bent Streets, complete with an central "Urban Room" meeting space.
- Active Verandah & Public Realm: Features an open, inviting entry with operable glass facades set within a masonry frame that complements the existing limestone/granite base of Chifley Square.
- Live Environment Engineering: Built is constructing Chifley South on a tight CBD plot while the active Chifley North tower remains fully occupied and operational throughout construction.

Sustainability & Energy Standards

- 100% Precinct Electrification: The entire Chifley precinct (North and South) is converting fully to electric power supplied by 100% renewable energy sources.
- Net-Zero & Carbon Neutral Targets: Targeting Climate Active Carbon Neutral Building certification in alignment with the City of Sydneyโ€™s Net Zero Strategy.
- High Efficiency Benchmarks: Targeted ratings include 6-Star Green Star, 5.5-Star NABERS Energy, and WELL Platinum certification.
