55 Currie Street

Repositioning 55 Currie Street.

55 Currie Street is a 26,200 sqm A-Grade commercial tower transformed through a $12 million program of works to create a more contemporary workplace and strengthen its position in Adelaide’s office market.

RCP provided project management, programming and superintendent services across four integrated upgrade packages. Works included a new entrance, foyer and concierge, upgraded lift lobbies, refurbished theatre and meeting facilities, speculative suites, tenancy works and major upgrades to HVAC, building management and façade access systems.

Upgrading an occupied tower.

With tenants remaining in the building throughout construction, RCP carefully coordinated the four workstreams around day-to-day operations. Noisy and disruptive activities were staged after hours, with access, safety and contractor interfaces managed closely with building management and tenants.

RCP led design management, procurement, staging and programme development before acting as Superintendent during construction, coordinating the multiple work packages through to completion.

The transformation also supports the broader repositioning of 55 Currie Street, with improved workplace amenities, flexible spaces and upgraded building technology contributing to a more contemporary tenant experience.

The program included the complete redevelopment of key building interfaces: a new external entrance, upgraded foyer and concierge, modernised lift lobbies, refurbishment of the theatre and meeting room suite, defit of former anchor tenancy to warm shell, HVAC replacement, BMS upgrade, BMU upgrade and delivery of new speculative suites.
