Exchange Plaza
Exchange Plaza is a 40-storey skyscraper in Perth, Western Australia. Completed in 1991, the 146-meter (480 ft) building is the State headquarters of the Australian Securities Exchange. Currently it is the fourth tallest skyscraper in Perth after QV.1, the BankWest Tower and Central Park.
Exchange Plaza was designed by architects Peddle Thorp & Walker. It is a steel-framed structure with pre-cast concrete floor panels. The exterior of the building is fully glazed with curtain walls, which step back at the upper levels. The unique blue glass was produced in a one-off batch by Pilkingtons Australia. The building features a a 150-seat conference centre and uninterrupted river views from most levels all across Perth Water and west all the way to Rottnest Island.
The building has 34,479 square meters (371,130 sq ft) of net lettable area across 33 commercial office levels. In addition there are three plant floor levels and five basement parking levels, with 236 car parking spaces. Construction on the southern car park started in January 1998 and finished in May 2000, and involved the construction of the deepest wall that had ever been built in Perth. The complex also includes a 10-storey podium building fronting Sherwood Court.
