Crown Sydney, at 1–11 Barangaroo Avenue, was designed by WilkinsonEyre, chosen in May 2013 over Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill and Kohn Pedersen Fox. Crown Resorts developed and owns it. Construction began in October 2016, and the tower opened on December 28, 2020. The article describes a sculptural, curved form of three petals with a 60-degree twist in the outer skin, and it names no formal style.
The tower is 890 feet (271.3 m) tall with 75 floors, making it the tallest building in Sydney. Its facade uses about 7,000 triangular glass panels. A casino and restaurants fill the podium, a hotel occupies levels 6 to 32, and apartments sit above. A public observation deck is on level 66, at 820 feet (250 m).
The project cost A$2.2 billion. The casino opened in August 2022. It won Emporis's 2021 Skyscraper Award. The article gives no hours.
