A 52-storey commercial office tower planned for the corner of Pitt and Hunter Streets in central Sydney, is set to become the world’s tallest hybrid timber building. It will cover approximately 51,000 square metres and include retail tenancies within its podium. If approved, the project will surpass the under-construction Atlassian headquarters, designed by Shop Architects and BVN.

Milligan Group, the developer of a proposed skyscraper over Sydney’s Hunter Street Station, has applied to demolish the site’s current buildings as part of the project’s next phase. Initially outlined in 2022, proposals for the site received final endorsement from the Central Sydney Planning Committee in February 2023.

The design of the tower will be selected from a design competition, which started in May 2023, before being presented to the state government for approval.

The proposed tower will rise over the top of the new Hunter Street Station.
