Quay Quarter Tower is a skyscraper located at 50 Bridge Street in Sydney, Australia. Built as the AMP Centre in 1976, the structure underwent a redevelopment from 2018 to 2021 which increased its height, introduced cantilevers, created additional office space, and modernised the tower's overall form and design. The AMP Centre re-opened as Quay Quarter Tower in early 2022, and stands at a height of 216 metres (709 ft) with 54 floors. It is the world's first "upcycled" syscraper retaining 68% of the existing buildings structure[1] and named World Building of the Year at the 15th annual World Architecture Festival.[2][3]
