North Ryde, New South Wales
Situated within Sydney's technology hub, the $78 million Pinnacle Office Park is the single biggest building contract Goodman International has entered into. The development comprises two commercial towers made with reinforced post tensioned concrete frames and a curtain wall facade comprising approximately 31,000m2 of NLA (net lettable area) and 580 car parking spaces. Laing O'Rourke won the tender as design and construct contractor in April 2007. With its close proximity to major arterial roads, on-site childcare, gymnasium and a cafe, the Pinnacle Office Park set new benchmarks in concept and design.

BENEFITS:
