Blues Point Tower
Blues Point Tower is an apartment block in Sydney, Australia. Located at McMahons Point, close to North Sydney, the tower is 83m tall with 24 levels. It is often regarded as one of the ugliest buildings in Sydney. Construction was completed in 1962, and it was Australia’s tallest residential building from until 1970. The architect of the tower was Harry Seidler and Associates.
Blues Point Tower was the first high-rise strata title apartment building in the world. With strata title was first introduced in 1961 in the state of New South Wales, Australia, the year after the Utah Condominium Act of 1960, this allowed Blues Point Tower to become a landmark in residential property not only architecturally, but also legally and socially. The advent of strata title in New South Wales made property ownership possible for many more people since previously the tenant of a ‘company title’ apartment held shares in an entity which owned the building and was not therefore considered eligible for mortgage. It was for this reason Dick Dusseldorp whose company Civil and Civic developed and constructed Blues Point Tower had championed the development of strata title in New South Wales and later in Canberra.
