Century Tower, Residential skyscraper in Sydney CBD, Australia
Century Tower rises 183 meters into Sydney's skyline with 52 floors holding 292 residential apartments along Pitt Street in the central business district. The building combines housing with upscale amenities including a gymnasium, heated swimming pool with illuminated ceiling, spa, and sauna.
The building was completed in 1997 and held the position as Australia's tallest residential structure until 2002, marking a significant period in Sydney's urban growth. Taller residential projects were subsequently developed in the city.
The tower incorporates two preserved building facades from the early 1900s at its base levels, connecting Sydney's architectural heritage with contemporary residential living.
The location on Pitt Street offers direct access to public transportation and sits within Sydney's central business district surrounded by shops and dining options. Note that this is a private residential building with limited public access to interior spaces.
The structure employs an all-steel construction system that ranks it among Sydney's 18 tallest buildings. This engineering approach enabled the necessary height and stability against wind forces.
