Far East Consortium’s 21-Storey Perth Tower Greenlit

FEC perth tower approved

Far East Consortium’s 21-storey commercial tower in the Perth City Link urban regeneration project has been approved.

DevelopmentWA approved plans for the tower at Lot 9, which is the third of three buildings designed by Woods Bagot for developer Far East Consortium.

It will sit between another planned office building at Lot 10 and a residential tower on Lot 4.

The precinct links the CBD with the cultural hub of Northbridge.

The building encompasses 29,000sq m of net lettable area, three outdoor terraces, a double-height lobby, three different floor plate sizes and a rooftop garden with views of Northbridge and the Perth CBD.

Woods Bagot principal Kukame McPierzie said the complexity of the sites above the dive tunnel for the Fremantle railway line had been a key consideration for the design team.

“To successfully connect Northbridge with the CBD, the design outcome needed to provide coherent and connected spaces that prioritised people,” McPierzie said.

He said all three buildings straddle the dive structure, presenting an engineering challenge the design team embraced and treated as an opportunity to innovate.

The site presented a “significant challenge” that had been met through a combination of smart design and engineering, Far East Consortium senior development manager Laura Ainsworth said.

She said the infrastructure and services were anchored in the land adjoining the tunnel, while the building and public areas cantilever over the top. 

Far East Consortium owns five sites at the western end of Perth City Link, opposite or next to RAC Arena.

“We’re creating a precinct within a precinct and have really been careful to curate the mix of what’s in those lots to bring together the ultimate in connected living,” Ainsworth said.

At Perth Hub, the residential tower is under way with a hotel, two offices and a further residential development to follow.

On Lot 2, Far East Consortium has started work on a 32-storey residential tower. Next door at Lot 3a, construction is scheduled to begin on the 263-key Dorsett Hotel, which it will also operate.

Lot 4 is a 23-storey residential tower offering 215 homes and a variety of commercial tenancies at Roe Street and Wardang Gardens. The design was submitted for development approval at the end of 2022 and a decision is pending.
