Salesforce may have put its shingle on Sydney's tallest office tower, but there's a lot more at work and play in the reactivation of public space and active transport.

Sydney's Harbour views are stunning. So too is the sun when you have a north facing office. (Pic supplied by Salesforce)

That said, it's pretty well highrise all the way back to Central now. (Pic: Lendlease)
Part of the design competition brief was to reopen accessible public spaces as part of the build to reduce high-rise 'canyonning'. (Pic: Lendlease)
