FDC were engaged by Dexus Property Group and AMP Capital to design and construct the refurbishment and state-of-the-art facelift of 309-321 Kent Street within the heart of Sydney’s CBD.

The works included the extension of commercial office levels between Levels 1 – 3, the addition of a terrace on Level 4 and the revitalisation of the plaza, retail and lobby spaces. The 309 Kent Street building also features a new glazed facade complemented by pristine granite and metal cladding. The net lettable areas (NLA) of Levels 1, 2 and 3 were all increased and Level 1 includes a void overlooking the modernized ground floor lobby entrance.

Extensive CAPEX services were upgraded in both buildings, including replacements of the main switchboards, life safety systems, chillers, mechanical pumps, cooling towers, boilers and fire booster cupboards.

One challenge during the project was the extensive demolition, construction and essential building services works were all completed in a live building with minimal disruption to its occupants. FDC adhered to this throughout the program, smoothly delivering a beautiful refurbishment for our clients Dexus and AMP Capital.

Completed in partnership with: Artazan Property Group, HDR Rice Daubney, Place Design, Webber Design, NDY, Electrolight, and IGS (Integrated Group Services).
