Blues Point Tower is an apartment block in Sydney, Australia. Located in McMahons Point, close to North Sydney, the tower is tall with 144 apartments over 25 levels. It is often regarded as one of the ugliest buildings in Sydney. ==History== Construction was completed in 1962, and it was Australia's tallest residential building until 1970.〔 The architect was Harry Seidler and Associates, who had planned a high-density redevelopment for the entire suburb. Reacting to a 1957 suggestion that the area be zoned for industrial use, Seidler proposed that McMahons Point could instead house hundreds of apartments, all with harbour views.〔 Although the industrial zoning was rejected, political support for Seidler's plan quickly faded, and Blues Point Tower was the only element of the plan to be built. Seidler was commissioned by Dick Dusseldorp, through his company Civil and Civic.〔 The company's site office during construction was located in an 1870s Victorian villa named Bellvue, which formerly occupied the site.〔 In February 2011, a tall maritime radar was added to the building's roof.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Whitten, Phil )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blues Point Tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
