A traditional 'topping off' ceremony has been held for the $150 million Sugar Dock apartment building at Jacksons Landing in Sydney's Pyrmont, with a tree being lifted by crane and placed on the top of the building to show appreciation to all the workers who have been involved in the project.
Bovis Lend Lease is responsible for the design and construction of Sugar Dock, including the fitting-out of apartments.
Sugar Dock is over 65 per cent sold, with only 43 of the two and three bedroom apartments remaining. In total, it will comprise 132 two and three bedroom apartments and skyhomes in a 20 storey tower, which will sit atop a low-rise podium containing 14 two bedroom terrace-style boutique apartments.
To date, Bovis Lend Lease has successfully recycled 84 per cent of construction waste during the project. The building also features rainwater harvesting tanks that collect water for topping up pools and watering gardens.
Jacksons Landing is a joint venture development between Vivas Lend Lease, Kerry Properties and Government of Singapore Investment Corporation. Covering 11.7 ha, it is one of Australia's largest waterfront redevelopments. It is currently around 75 per cent completed, having sold 1,160 dwellings.
When finalised in approximately 2012, Jacksons Landing will comprise 1,350 apartments, terraces, heritage warehouse conversions and town-houses.
