Once in a generation redevelopment in Sydney’s CBD

In collaboration with First Sponsor and ICD Property, we’re reimagining the former City Tattersalls Club into Sydney House – a 135-key hotel and 241 residences.

The site – 196-204 Pitt Street – is one of Sydney CBD’s busiest intersections. Complex site constraints led to construction innovation, “We’ve had to think about things differently in terms of modularisation, productisation and how we get the best out of our materials handling strategy,” shared Elliot Hicks, Construction Manager.

This iconic project underscores the importance of adaptive reuse and heritage conservation. “This will be a significant space for Sydney once we reveal the preserved architecture,” reflected Jonathan Redman, heritage architect at fjcstudio.

Marking an important milestone for health outcomes for surrounding communities.

Partnering with ACT Government, we’ve commenced works at the Molonglo Emergency Services Station. This infrastructure will deliver critical facilities for first responders.

“Investing in modern emergency services such as the Molonglo station ensures that we can maintain nation-leading response times while also accommodating future advancements, including the integration of more electric vehicles into our fleet,” Wayne Phillips, Commissioner of ACT Emergency Services Agency.

Proudly enabling ambulance and fire rescue services to respond swiftly and effectively to incidents in the area.”

‘Barragi’ meaning ‘to fly’ in Wiradjuri

A Mulyan Public School year 1 student has named the 52m tower crane at Cowra Hospital Redevelopment ‘Barragi,’ meaning ‘to fly’ in Wiradjuri. The year 1 class of students joined the project team to watch the flag hoisting.

“The tower crane plays a vital role in the building process; and it is fantastic to have such a personalised name as the crane supports the hospital construction,” said Amanda Bock, Executive Director Rural and Regional Projects, Health Infrastructure NSW.

Due for completion in 2025, the project will provide a modern and purpose-built facility for the regional community. It includes:

• an emergency department
• general medical and surgery inpatient ward
• a maternity unit with a dedicated nursery
• the hospital’s first CT scanner
• Ambulatory care
• a dental clinic.

“Our hospitals are important pieces of community infrastructure, and it’s great to see our regions youngest residents involved in this project while it’s being built,” Ms Bock said.
