Information About

Mlc Centre




The building was designed by Sydney architect Harry Seidler , and it remains one of his most definitive works, although the building's construction was controversial, since it brought about the demolition in 1972 of the opulent 19th century Hotel Australia , which formerly stood on the site.

The building is a stark white, Modernist column in an octagonal floorplan, with eight massive load-bearing columns in the corners that taper slightly towards the top. It is one of the world's tallest Reinforced Concrete buildings. The MLC Centre was Sydney's tallest building from 1977 to 1992 .
