Greenland Centre Sydney, Residential skyscraper in central Sydney, Australia.
Greenland Centre Sydney is a residential tower in central Sydney reaching 237 meters with a geometric Art Deco facade characterized by bold lines and distinct details. It spans 67 floors containing 470 apartments and six penthouses, supported by two basement levels with modern elevator systems.
Development began in 2017 on the former Sydney Water Board tower site, transforming the location into a major residential complex. The project reached completion in 2021 and became Sydney's tallest residential building.
The building skips the number four in its floor numbering system, reflecting respect for Chinese cultural beliefs among residents and investors. This design choice shows how contemporary towers adapt to diverse perspectives in a multicultural city.
The tower stands at the corner of Bathurst and Pitt Street in the CBD, with the heritage former Water Board building next door now operating as the Primus Hotel. Only the hotel and street-level areas are open to the public; the 470 apartments and six penthouses above are private.
The Art Deco former Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board building next door became the Primus Hotel, a 180-bed five-star property run by a chain owned by the Shanghai municipal government. It was converted as part of the same project as the tower.
