Chifley Tower at 2 Chifley Square in Sydney was designed by Travis McEwen and Kohn Pedersen Fox, with John Rayner as project architect. Bond Corporation and Kumagai Gumi built it as Bond Tower. Kumagai Gumi took it over after Alan Bond's bankruptcy and renamed it in 1993. Construction ran from 1988 to 1992 at a cost of A.2 billion. The article names no style.
The tower has 53 storeys and about 90,000 square meters of floor area, with 29 lifts. The roof is 709 feet (216 m) and the spire reaches 801 feet (244 m). It was Sydney's tallest building from 1992 to 2019. A steel pendulum limits wind sway.
Offices fill the tower, and retail arcades called Chifley Plaza fill the podium, whose curved facade completes a planned semicircular square. The article gives no access details.
