SYDNEY INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTER (SIFC)
Location: Goulburn St, Haymarket
Status: Concept / Vision
Architect: Yao Architects
Height: 1745ft / ∼532m
Floors: Up to L120
The idea: Two 532m 120-story Twin supertall towers with a diagonal steel exoskeleton/braced frame + X-brace skybridge, glass dome podium with public market, LED facade for Lunar New Year/Vivid.
- Stepped spire assembly all the way up to roof - Very Petronas-meets-futuristic. Instant skyline landmark.
- Mega-diagonal bracing + Primary mega-columns - That’s the structure holding everything together.
- Geodesic entrance podium at the base - That’s the "gacha soft" part. Organic, welcoming, different from the rigid towers.
Program: 150,000 sqm | Twin Office Towers, Public Podium, Skybridge
Status: Concept 2026
The brief: Put a global finance hub in the heart of Chinatown without killing it.
Design DNA: "One bridge in the sky. Between capital and culture."
Status: The one that represents Sydney on the map.
Located on Goulburn Street, at the threshold of Chinatown, Central Station, and UTS, SIFC anchors the new "City South". Two 120-story towers rise from a crystalline public podium. They are connected 200m in the air by an X-brace skybridge that houses trading floors, exhibition space, and a public observation deck.
