JPW and Walker Corporation Lodge Tower 2 Development Application at Festival Plaza

JPW, in collaboration with Walker Corporation, is pleased to share that the Development Application for Tower 2 at Festival Plaza in Adelaide has been lodged.

Designed by JPW, this 38-storey tower will complete Festival Plaza, shaping a vibrant, contextual, and contemporary destination.

The project will enhance public life, introducing a diverse range of public spaces activated by sustainable retail, reinforcing Festival Plaza as a key destination for both locals and visitors. A publicly accessible civic facility and high-quality commercial space will further contribute to the precinct’s activation.

The tower’s geometry responds to the transition from the city grid to the river, drawing from the dynamic, angular forms of the Festival Centre and Festival Plaza while subtly referencing the state flower, Sturt’s Desert Pea.

At 160m, Tower 2 will be Adelaide’s first skyscraper when completed in 2027, marking a significant milestone in the city’s evolving skyline. Congratulations to Walker Corporation on the continued revitalisation of this important precinct.

JPW acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and honours their continuing connection to lands, waters, skies, and communities.

We offer our respect to Elders past and those present – as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work.
