DARLING HARBOUR, SYDNEY
PROJECT NAME: DARLING QUARTER
PROJECT TIMEFRAME: AUGUST 2008 - SEPTEMBER 2011
Lend Lease is one of the world’s leading fully integrated property solutions
providers, with a focus on core markets in Australia, Asia, Europe and the
Americas. Lend Lease’s capabilities span the property value chain including
development management, investment management, project management &
construction, and asset & property management.
Lend Lease manages the unlisted wholesale property fund that co-owns Darling
Quarter, the Australian Prime Property Fund (APPF) Commercial. APPF
Commercial invests in a portfolio of core commercial properties across Australia,
which are generally high quality properties located in CBD office markets. The
buildings typically have balanced, low-risk expiry profiles and strong underlying
tenant covenants.
Darling Quarter was developed by Lend Lease in partnership with Sydney
Harbour Foreshore Authority. The project includes a low rise campus-style
commercial development with more than 55,000 square metres of net lettable
area across two six and eight storey buildings, a rejuvenated retail precinct, a
new park and playground incorporating water play, a new children’s theatre and
associated car parking.
Darling Quarter represents a major investment and contribution to the local
economy with 7,000 people being employed during the three year construction
phase.
The project was designed and constructed by Lend Lease in conjunction with
FJMT architects and has achieved a 6 Star Green Star Office Design v2 certified
rating.
KEY SUSTAINABILITY OUTCOMES
•
Significant CO2 reductions through energy efficient HVAC,
lighting and vertical transportation systems together with trigeneration which provides cleaner electricity, heat and
cooling to the building.
•
Potable water reductions in excess of 90% through efficiency
and recycling measures.
•
Rainwater is collected and distributed to the adjacent park for
irrigation purposes.
•
Key technologies used include passive chilled beam air
conditioning system, trigeneration and blackwater treatment
and reuse.
•
Secure bicycle storage and showering facilities to encourage
bicycle use and fitness activity.
•
Comprehensive metering and monitoring system will allow
systems to be optimised for high performance into the future.
“The objectives of the Better Buildings Partnership are well aligned with
the sustainability aspirations of Lend Lease and APPF Commercial. We
are honoured to participate as a founding member of the Partnership
and look forward to working with our peers towards a greener Sydney.”
