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.
Construction of World Tower began in 2001 and was completed in 2004, developed by Meriton and designed by Fender Katsalidis. It was Australia's tallest residential building from 2004 to 2006 and received the 2004 Bronze Emporis Skyscraper Award. Scenes for the 1995 film Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie were shot on the former Anthony Hordern & Sons site where World Square now stands.
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.
World Tower stands at 85 Liverpool Street, a short walk from Town Hall and Museum railway stations and from light rail and bus stops. World Square at its foot holds a Coles supermarket, food outlets and specialty stores. The building has 15 lifts serving 75 above-ground and 10 basement levels.
World Tower holds 701 residential units, not thousands, across 75 above-ground levels. Each of its three residential sections has its own pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium, games room and a private 24-seat theatrette, and the pool and spa areas on levels 38 and 61 give 180° views over Sydney.
