Mirvac, AMP Capital's 'smart' building opens for business in Sydney CBD

Developer Mirvac Group [ASX:MGR] and joint owner AMP Capital have unveiled their landmark Sydney office building, 200 George Street.

The 37-storey ‘smart’ building will have EY as the anchor tenant and also be Mirvac’s new Sydney headquarters. It is to be known as ‘EY Centre’.

New South Wales Premier, Mike Baird, officially opened the building. The launch event was attended by Mirvac’s CEO and managing director, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz and Carmel Hourigan, AMP Capital global head of property representing the joint owner of the site, AMP Capital Wholesale Office Fund. 

The tower has a net lettable area of nearly 39,200 square metres of premium grade office space, with a world first high-performing closed cavity façade with timber blinds. It is set to be one of Australia’s most environmentally advanced and sustainable developments with a 6 Star ratings being targeted.

It is one of the first ‘smart’ office buildings in Australia, adjusting the internal environment according to the needs of the employees, said media release.

Mirvac’s headquarters will become one of Australia’s first WELL certified offices.

There are plans to fill the ground floor plane and surrounding laneways with food and beverage outlets, public art and leisure spaces.

Lloyd-Hurwitz said Mirvac’s vision was to create a cutting edge workplace for leading organisations.  

“Showcasing adaptable workspaces, green credentials, state-of-the-art technology and iconic design from architects, Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp, the building is testament to the hard work and collaboration between Mirvac and our many partners who have been involved in this pioneering project,” said Lloyd-Hurwitz.
