Grenfell Centre, High-rise building on Grenfell Street, Adelaide, Australia
The Grenfell Centre is a 27-story, 103-meter tall tower in Adelaide's downtown with a minimalist design that emphasizes clean geometry. Large glass windows span the facade, and the building contains office spaces served by eight elevators throughout its height.
The tower opened in 1975 as Adelaide's tallest structure, holding that distinction for twelve years. Telstra House surpassed it in height during 1987, marking a shift in the city's vertical development.
The building reflects how Adelaide's business district transformed in the 1970s toward cleaner, more open designs. Its straight edges and glass surfaces shaped how the city's office spaces looked for decades.
The central location gives visitors and workers quick access to public transport and nearby shops and restaurants. Multiple elevators mean you can move between floors without long waits, even during busy times.
In 2023, the building received new solid aluminum cladding that replaced its previous exterior materials. This update improved both its safety and visual appearance without changing its core structure.
