Sydney’s First Upcycled Skyscraper Named Finalist for 2025 Earthshot Prize | Happy Eco News
Sydney’s Quay Quarter Tower, the world’s first upcycled skyscraper, has been named a finalist for the 2025 Earthshot Prize. The retrofit retained 65% of its structure, avoided 12,000 tonnes of embodied carbon, and doubled usable space. The project proves that reusing old towers can replace demolition as a sustainable, profitable alternative.
