Governor Phillip Tower, High-rise building in Sydney, Australia
Governor Phillip Tower rises 227 meters above ground with 62 floors and features a grey granite and glass exterior in Sydney's financial district.
The building completed in 1993 stands on the site of Australia's first Government House, which served as the center of colonial administration from 1788.
The Museum of Sydney occupies part of the complex, preserving archaeological remains of the First Government House within its exhibition spaces.
The tower includes 10 underground levels and sits elevated on zinc-plated transfer beams, providing office spaces for numerous international corporations.
The structure appears as the tallest building on Sydney's skyline from many angles despite being the seventh highest by actual roof measurement.
