From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

World Tower is a skyscraper located on Liverpool Street, Sydney, Australia. Construction began in 2001 and was completed in 2004. World Tower is 230 meters tall, with 73 above ground levels, 10 basement levels, 15 elevators and 701 residential units. It was the 2004 Bronze recipient of the Emporis Skyscraper Award. The architects were Nation Fender Katsalidis.

Lying below World Tower is World Square, a shopping complex with a supermarket, several food outlets, and shops. Public buses stop outside World Square, and it also has a stop serviced by the Sydney Monorail.

For a brief time World Tower was Australia's tallest residential building. This honour has now passed to Q1 located on the Gold Coast in Queensland, which is not only the tallest residential building in Australia, but the tallest in the world.
