CBRE Investment Management Achieves Five-Star Sustainability Accreditation for Sydney Office Tower

CBRE Investment Management announces that 118 Mount Street, a Class A office tower located in North Sydney and owned on behalf of German real estate fund, has been awarded Five-Star Green Star Design and As-Built Certification ratings from the Green Building Council of Australia. Designed to capture renewable energy, the building achieved the environmental ratings as a direct result of its use of sustainable building materials in construction of the tower, energy and water operations efficiency, enhanced air filtration, and the use of rooftop solar panels.

Known as Zurich Tower, 118 Mount Street is a recently built, 29-story, 21,405-square-meter office building featuring floor-to-ceiling windows allowing abundant natural light, an outdoor terrace, 14 showers, 202 lockers, 190 bike racks, and charging stations for electric vehicles. The property is located close to North Sydney's cafés, restaurants, and other lifestyle amenities and offers convenient access to public transportation via the North Sydney Station and the planned Victoria Cross Metro.

"Zurich Tower is considered a distinctive new landmark on the North Sydney skyline, and we are proud of the hard work of our entire team and our partners, Zurich Australia, Roberts Co., White and Partners, and Generate Property, that has resulted in this accreditation. We believe that the significant investment we have made in the sustainable, innovative design and operation of this property will ensure that it is a sought-after office destination where people, teams and organizations can thrive and find inspiration for years to come. We are grateful to hard" said Chris Johnston, Managing Director Direct Private Real Estate, Australia and New Zealand, CBRE Investment Management.

The Green Building Council of Australia considered several factors when awarding the ratings, including:

  • Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Economic and Financial Factors
  • Quality of Design and Finish
  • User Satisfaction
  • Adaptability
  • Industry Perception
  • Operation and Maintenance
