Capital Square Tower 1 achieves the highest Green Star rating in Perth

The former site of the Emu Brewery in Perth has been awarded an outstanding 6 Star Green Star rating for office design, from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).

In what will be now the new home for Woodside Petroleum, Tower 1 Capital Square has achieved a 6 Star Green Office Design v3 rating – a result that represents world leadership in building design.

The 54,000 sq m tower on Mounts Bay Road is to be the global headquarters for Woodside with Norman Disney & Young (NDY) involved across all project built elements.

“We’ve managed to score a very highly regarded total of 77 points out of 100 for the overall 6 Star result with strong results across the ratings categories of transport, materials, energy and water,” says NDY associate and senior sustainability consultant Peta Earley.

“This is the only project in Perth to have achieved a 6 Star Green Star rating for Office v3 design and demonstrates the commitment, drive and appetite from a client that understands the long-term benefits of Green Star-related projects.” Earley said.  

The Green Building Council of Australia’s CEO Romilly Madew said the result is a result of the project team’s commitment to innovation in sustainability.

Tower 1 is part of the broader Capital Square precinct which also comprises of a 30 storey residential tower with a 120 room hotel at the lower levels, a 40 storey prestige residential tower, and a vibrant public square that will accommodate retail, a creche, gymnasiums, spa, swimming pools and restaurants.
