World Tower, High-rise building in Sydney, Australia
World Tower is a high-rise building in Sydney that stretches 230 meters with 75 floors above ground and 10 below. It houses residential apartments and commercial spaces, served by 15 elevators throughout its structure.
The building was completed in 2004 and stood as Sydney's tallest residential structure until 2020. Its opening marked an important moment in the city's modern downtown expansion.
The building sits within the World Square complex and shapes how people experience central Sydney today. Residents and visitors move through a mix of residential and commercial spaces that reflects contemporary city life.
From the upper floors you can see Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and on clear days all the way to the Blue Mountains. The elevated position and glass exterior offer wide views across the city and surrounding landscape.
The building houses thousands of residential units, making it feel like an entire city stacked vertically. Walking through the lobby gives you a sense of the sheer density of people living closely together in one structure.
