Chifley Tower is a premium skyscraper in Sydney, Australia. When measured to the top of its spire, it is considered the tallest building in Sydney.〔http://buildingdb.ctbuh.org/?do=building&building_id=938〕 It was designed by Travis McEwen and Kohn Pedersen Fox (Project Architect: Nigel Dickson),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dicksonrothschild.com.au )〕 New York-based architects. Located at 2 Chifley Square, its cross streets are Hunter, Phillip and Bent Streets with the main entry being on Phillip Street.〔 Due to its prominent location at the peak in the north-east CBD, the Tower has broad harbour views from its 42 storeys.〔(SkyscraperPage )〕 The tower is used primarily for commercial use, mostly financial institutions, law firms and corporations. A 3-metre lightning rod was added in 2000, extending its original height from 241m to 244m. To stop the tower from moving in the wind a giant steel pendulum weighing 400 tonnes is held from 8×75 mm wires near the rooftop. The tower is named after former Australian Prime Minister Ben Chifley.
