This iconic project comprises a new 29 level A Grade commercial office tower containing approximately 45,000m² of NLA and over 330m² retail area on the Ground Floor. Features of the project include:

  • End of trip facility including secure bicycle parking with 200 bike spaces, changing facilities and lockers
  • Separate anchor tenant entrance and lobby
  • Retail tenancies
  • In floor heating to ground floor lobby and loggia

Located in Adelaide’s Festival Plaza, the ground floor and podium levels create dynamic spaces for the thousands of tenants, students and visitors who dine, work and socialise in the precinct.

This project was delivered in partnership with Walker Corporation and consultants, architects Johnson Pilton Walker, structural/civil engineer Mott McDonald Australia, services engineer Bestec, and building certifier Katnich Dodd.

Our team also delivered the integrated fitout for anchor tenant, Flinders University. Occupying eight floors, comprising three podium levels and five other levels, the fitout covers more than 11,000 m² of space in the 29 level tower.

As the tallest all electric building in Adelaide, Walker recognised the opportunity to set a new benchmark in sustainability at Festival Tower. The tower has achieved a 6 Star Green Star As-Built rating representing ‘World Leadership’ in sustainable design. The project is also targeting the following sustainability ratings:

  • Gold Well V2 Building Standard
  • 5.5 Star NABERS Energy rating
  • 4 Star NABERS Water rating

Festival Tower is also home to corporate businesses such as Mott McDonald, Deloitte, Origin Energy and Allianz.
