The revitalisation of The Bay Centre breathes new life into the Darling Harbour complex, re-establishing it as one of the precinct’s most desirable commercial addresses. The rejuvenation entailed a holistic design approach that generates flow from the lobby through to the upper floor workspaces and end of trip facilities.

Beginning with an improved street presence, the scheme takes its lead from the facade’s new modern cladding and awning, which emphasise the entry. “This creates a sense of verticality and depth for the building,” says Interior Designer Francesca Moccia. “And means the arrival experience is further enhanced by moving the entry door in line with the lift, creating a seamless journey from footpath to desk.”

The revitalization represents developer Mirvac’s first significant capital spend on the building in close to two decades. As Mirvac Capital Works Manager Andrew Irving explains, “Walking into a Mirvac asset should be an experience that is instantly recognisable beyond the logo on the door.”

The Bay Centre prioritises the tenant experience with luxurious yet understated shared areas that facilitate connectivity, adding value to the building’s commercial spaces.
