The TNT Towers are a pair of twin buildings in Redfern, Sydney, Australia. Construction commenced in 1972, with work completed in 1975 as the headquarters for TNT.[1][2] In September 2002, the buildings were sold by TNT to Kimberley Securities.[3][4]

In 2004, the New South Wales Police Force took a lease on seven floors.[5] In 2016, planning approval was granted to redevelop both towers for residential use.[6][7] The existing 12 storey towers had an additional six storeys added.[8]
