MIRVAC’S EY Centre at 200 George St in Sydney has received global recognition after taking home a gong at the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat Awards held in Chicago.
EY Centre won the construction category at CTBUH Awards.
Mirvac’s national construction director Jason Vieusseux said EY Centre is a triumph of innovative construction and demonstrates that true craftsmanship can be achieved on a high rise scale.
“The EY Centre, 200 George Street bears testament to the incredible collaboration that Mirvac’s integrated model brings including our in-house capability to construct complex projects, such as this,” Mirvac’s general manager of commercial development, Simon Healy, said.
“By working with our partners, including architects Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp and workplace advisory firm Davenport Campbell, we were able to build a cutting-edge workplace with world-leading technology and innovative design. We are proud and delighted to have delivered a building that both enriches its communities and raises the bar for future workplaces in Australia.” Healy said.
Meanwhile the CTBUH Awards Jury has named Oasia Hotel Downtown the “Best Tall Building Worldwide”.
Oasia Hotel Downtown were chosen from among the four regional Best Tall Building winners, including American Copper Building, Best Tall Building Americas; Oasia Hotel Downtown, Best Tall Building Asia & Australasia; The Silo, Best Tall Building Europe; and Zeitz MOCAA, Best Tall Building Middle East & Africa.
“This project won not only because it incorporates 60 stories of green walls along the exterior,” CTBUH executive director and awards juror Antony Wood said, “But because of its significant commitment to communal space. The tower has given over 40% of its volume to open air communal terraces in the sky.”
Other award recipients include the World Trade Center Master Plan for the Urban Habitat Award; MULTI for the Innovation Award; New York Times Tower for the 10 Year Award (2007 Completions); and Shanghai World Financial Center for the 10 Year Award (2008 Completions). In all, the 10 awards winners were chosen from a group of 48 Finalist projects representing 28 countries from around the world.
