The City of Sydney has accepted the recommendation for approval of what is to be Sydney’s tallest building, with the proposal now referred to the Department of Planning for final sign-off.
505 George Street, designed by Crone Partners, is proposed to stand at a maximum tower height of 260m – 110m above the LEP height limit of 150m for a dual tower arrangement that would be in compliance with planning controls for residential schemes.
Crone Partners say this proposal was developed in response to a number of challenges that would arise if a dual tower arrangement was built on the site, which sits amidst a mix of retail, commercial and residential developments.
“The proposed development use is predominantly residential, and hence it is appropriate that an analysis of the impacts to local urban amenity and context be undertaken,” explain the architects
