Festival Tower, by Walker Corporation, has won the 2024 UDIA SA Award of Excellence for Innovation in Development.
In 2020, Walker Corporation invited JPW to develop detailed design proposals for Adelaide Festival Plaza, with a focus on the precinct’s signature commercial Festival Tower.
Now complete, Festival Tower, a key component of South Australia’s significant urban transformation, features an all-electric design, a 6-star Green Star rating, a 5.5-star NABERS energy rating, extensive solar panels, high performance facades and a comprehensive rainwater harvesting system, all of which work together to minimise the building’s environmental footprint. At ground level, the building is seamlessly integrated to the upgraded public realm with the main foyer entry from Station Road and a through-site link connection to King William Road.
Walker Corporation quotes “Festival Tower is our signature statement in Adelaide, combining decades of learnings to set a new benchmark in office design and wellbeing.”
Congratulations to Walker Corporation and the broader project team on receiving this award, recognising Festival Tower and the new benchmark it sets for innovation, urban renewal, placemaking, and sustainability.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging – as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work; and the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation on whose land our Studio is located.
