No 2 Bligh Street Sydney is a 14-storey office building constructed in 1957, which was in need of a full refurbishment and upgrade to enable the building to compete with nearby office space.ÌýThe works included the removal and replacement of the façade and complete gutting of the interior including all services, plant and equipment (excluding lifts). The internal upgrade included all toilet areas, and base building fitout.ÌýÌýThe project targeted 5-star Green Star Design and As Built, as well as 4.5-star NABERS rating, which will be assessed once the building is 75 per cent occupied.Ìý ÌýThe building contained asbestos materials within existing risers and other areas. These materials were removed prior to the commencement of the main works.ÌýÌýThe new façade was a major element of the works, which has transformed the appearance and amenity of the internal space.ÌýÌýThe work was carried out with the usual access restrictions of inner CBD construction, which included noise-sensitive neighbours (Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel and The Union Club).ÌýÌýThe works were completed to a high standard of finish.
