20 Bond Street was formerly the head office of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Following the ASX’s ability to move from 20 Bond Street to their new premises earlier than expected, Baulderstone negotiated a contract to refurbish this 33-storey building. This included providing a solution for incoming major tenant Macquarie Bank’s special requirements, with a temporary data centre being constructed and commissioned on Level 1 prior to the main data centre on Level B3 becoming available. The final Data Centre was completed on time and within the $4.5m budget in September.
All 30 office floors were refurbished, with a series of staged handovers commencing in September 1999 followed by floor-by-floor handovers each month until practical completion in April 2000. The basis of the project was to strip out all floors, with 18 of the floors also involving a fitout as well as refurbishment. These levels for Macquarie Bank included access flooring, communications infrastructure, amenities upgrades, partitioning, general offices, plus mechanical, electrical, fire and security works. Additional refurbishment throughout involved amenities upgrades, air-conditioning plant upgrades, a $3 million lift modernisation and make-good works to 12 floors.
As the building remained occupied during this work, minimising disturbance and maintaining security were key issues.
