ICC Sydney will be adjacent to a new 590-room luxury hotel — the Sofitel Darling Harbour — a new residential and commercial development, and a new pedestrian boulevard connecting the waterfront precinct to Central Station.

AECOM’s involvement began at the bid phase supporting constructor Lendlease’s successful bid taking carriage of the multidisciplinary 3D engineering models up until Design Phase 2. AECOM provided services ranging from electrical and mechanical, to fire engineering, security, sustainability, pedestrian modelling, and environmental remediation, among others.
