Deutsche Bank Place, Skyscraper in Sydney, Australia
Description
Deutsche Bank Place is a high-rise office tower with 39 floors that rises 240 meters above Sydney's central business district. Its glass and steel facade features a distinctive three-story V-shaped structural element that defines its appearance.
History
The tower was designed by renowned architect Norman Foster and opened in 2005 after construction began in the early 2000s. Its completion marked an addition to Sydney's modern business district during a period of significant urban development.
Culture
The plaza at its base serves as a public gathering space where office workers and visitors intermingle throughout the day. The mix of shopping areas and office access creates a place where daily professional life meets casual public activity.

The building offers open office spaces without interior columns, allowing companies flexibility in how they arrange their work areas. Access to the tower and its shopping area is straightforward during business hours, with the public plaza serving as a clear gathering point.
