Originally built as the AMP Centre in 1976, 50 Bridge Street Sydney underwent a redevelopment from 2018 which increased its height, incorporated additional floorspace, and modernized the tower's entire form and design. The building re-opened as the Quay Quarter Tower in 2022.
In what is considered a world-first innovation, rather than demolishing and rebuilding the skyscraper, leading Danish architects 3XN/GXN, upcycled the building – retaining 60% of the existing core structure.
The Quay Quarter Tower redevelopment included a complete redesign of the Vertical Transportation system. The design included changing the lifts from traditional, conventional control, single deck lifts to double-deck elevators using our advanced Schindler PORT Technology Destination Control system.
