One of Audi’s biggest ever global investments
November 19th, 2007
Audi has announced plans for a $50 million ‘lighthouse’ development to be built at Victoria Park in Sydney.
Fronting onto South Dowling Street, Rosebery, the flagship development will consist of eight-levels and incorporate a retail showroom, customer facilities, an after-sales centre as well as Audi’s national Headquarters.
The site was purchased in late-2007 for almost $20 million, and is one of the most significant overseas investments ever made by Audi AG (Audi’s parent company).
Designed by Audi’s master architect, Johnson Pilton Walker, the site will also be used by Audi to host major brand events in Sydney and is planned for completion in early 2009.

Within the intimate confines of compact living, where space is at a premium, efficiency is critical and dining out often trumps home cooking, Gaggenau’s 400 Series Culinary Drawer proves that limited space can, in fact, unlock unlimited culinary possibilities.
In this candid interview, the culinary mastermind behind Singapore’s Nouri and Appetite talks about food as an act of human connection that transcends borders and accolades, the crucial role of technology in preserving its unifying power, and finding a kindred spirit in Gaggenau’s reverence for tradition and relentless pursuit of innovation.
