The building is a striking gateway to the Westralia Square building and proposed City Square development at the heart of Perth’s central business district.

A landscaped pedestrian plaza allows thoroughfare to the nearby Convention Centre and public transport facilities. A bold ribbon-like sculptural form projects onto the streetscape and provides an interesting counterpoint to the surrounding buildings.
