33 Alfred St (AMP Building)
Completed in 1962 and coming in at 115m (not including the flags), the AMP Building took the title of tallest building in Sydney from the AWA Tower. This is a recreation of what’s sometimes called Sydney’s first skyscraper.
The current building features drab concrete walls, but I have here modeled the building to resemble its refurbishing, scheduled to commence in 2021. This will replace the curtain wall window designs, as well as remove and replace the precut concrete slabs with tiles to restore the original buildings monolithic appearance. Fun fact: what we now see as drab concrete slabs was originally covered in shiny ceramic tiles, however due to poor planning, as the building breathed and expanded in warm weather, the tiles popped off the building like buttons popping off a shirt. Hazardous!
Important notes!
– I have unticked the option to flatten terrain, allowing you to submerge the building and have the ground meet with the rear entrance landing.
– This asset includes a prop for a gigantic flagpole, 26m tall, with 7.2×3.6m flags of Australia and the modern AMP logo. You may need to use Move It to adjust the building so the two flags appear instead of both as one or the other. ..Moving it could screw up the terrain.
– There is plenty of roof space for solar panels, and the refurbishing development application specifies they will be added, but I don’t like vanilla ones and I didn’t want any prop dependencies. Load it up in asset editor and add them yourself!
