It is the first high-rise office tower in Australia to feature a double-skin glass fa\u00e7ade, and Sydney\u2019s first CBD commercial office tower to incorporate black water recycling.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Grauer was in town this week to officiate our new Sydney office, with a special guest of honor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/photo\/westpac-ceo-gail-kelly-\/273723.html\">Gail Kelly<\/a>, chief executive of Westpac and long considered one of Asia\u2019s most powerful businesswomen.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s a lot more significance to our new presence in Sydney than just the location.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/quote\/AUDUSD:CUR\">Australia\u2019s economy<\/a> \u2013 both during and since the GFC \u2013 has become recognized as one of the world\u2019s most resilient.\u00a0 Its currency is now the world\u2019s fifth most traded. And, of course, Australia has in excess of 100 billion dollars of two-way trade annually with China. Australian commodities are stoking the fire in the belly of the biggest dragon of all. As Peter mentioned at a New South Wales Business Chamber event to CEOs and senior executives of Australia\u2019s major banks and financial institutions, Australia is going to have an increasing role and influence in what\u2019s widely spoken of as \u2018The Asian Century\u2019. The ASX is a US-Asian conduit \u2013 and each day, Asia takes notice of Sydney as the first major market to open after the close on Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>This ultimately presents growth opportunities for our information, data services and news about what is happening in Australia. Our new office is going to be a place where news is reported, where newsmakers convene and where news often is made. Next month, it will host the inaugural Bloomberg Australia Economic Summit, bringing together key decision makers from government and industry to examine the nation\u2019s standout performance in the world economy. Speakers will include Treasurer <a href=\"https:\/\/topics.bloomberg.com\/wayne-swan\/\">Wayne Swan<\/a>, BHP Billiton CFPO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2011-11-27\/bhp-billiton-names-kerr-to-succeed-vanselow-as-cfo-1-.html\">Graham Kerr<\/a> and Shadow Treasurer <a href=\"https:\/\/topics.bloomberg.com\/joe-hockey\/\">Joe Hockey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So get prepared for the view when you are next Downunder as we are in a tremendous place from many different perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Belina Tan, Corporate Communications<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people know of Sydney\u2019s spectacular harbour but most will not be prepared for the extraordinary view of the Harbour Bridge from our brand new premises.
