Lend Lease occupies levels 3-9, as well as the Child Care Centre on the Ground Floor. The Lend Lease floors feature open workspaces, pods projecting into the atrium for communal spaces and a chill/meet zone on the western perimeter.

Lend Lease staff actively contributed to the design of the building and the fitout, and have great ownership of the result. IP telephony and other technological innovations as well as contemporary art installations are solutions which stemmed from the employee design briefs. Natural finishes such as bamboo, wool, sisal, goat hair, linen, cotton, and leather all contribute to the health of the environment. Great contemporary design, mixed with some recycled classics have contributed to a headquarters with a real “wow” factor.

Located at 30-34 Hickson Road, Millers Point, 30 The Bond is a commercial property comprising nine levels of approximately 19,800sqm net lettable area. Lend Lease conceived the idea of the building and partnered with Deutsche Office Trust whose involvement saw the project turn to reality.

30 The Bond is a leading example of social and environmental sustainability within commercial objectives and is the first CBD office building in Australia to commit to a 5 star energy rating with lower CO2 emissions than a typical office building. This has been achieved through the use of natural ventilation,  passive chilled beam cooling and fully operable shading on the facades.

On the east side of the building is a full height atrium, which features a four-storey natural sandstone wall, hewn by hand for the installation of the original gas works on the site.

The base of the atrium is a public space encouraging interaction between the building’s occupants and the community. The atrium volume contains internal stairs, glass lifts and double storey “pods” which are used for shared activities creating a greater sense of connection.

Lend Lease was selected in December 2009 as the developer for Barangaroo South by the Barangaroo Delivery Authority on behalf of the New South Wales Government.
