Leighton Contractors were awarded the design and construction contract for the prestigious KENS commercial office tower development in the heart of Sydney. 

The KENS site is located over an entire city block within the precinct defined by Kent, Erskine, Napoleon and Sussex Streets (from which the project takes its name) and occupies a unique and commanding position in the western corridor of the Sydney CBD within walking distance of Darling Harbour.  This is effectively the last complete city block available for development. It was the site of a public car park and a number of heritage listed buildings, which have been incorporated into the design.

The development comprises of two connected towers providing approximately 74,000 square metres of commercial office space, 3020 square metres of service and retail areas, 864 car parking spaces and a landscaped urban park.  Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) has consolidated 10 separate CBD offices into the larger, 33-storey tower.

Now complete, Leighton Services (a subsidiary of Leighton Contractors) will provide facilities management services to Westpac Funds Management, as part of a 12-year joint venture agreement with James Fielding Property Services (Infocus Infrastructure Management JV).
