Salesforce announced Salesforce Tower Sydney, significantly expanding the company’s presence in Australia since the company first opened its doors locally in 2004. As part of the expansion, Salesforce announced plans to add 1,000 new jobs in Sydney over the next five years, helping fuel the city’s economic development.

Salesforce Tower Sydney will rise 53 storeys above the city, sitting at the heart of the central business district with views across the iconic Sydney Harbour, Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Once completed, Salesforce Tower Sydney will be the tallest in the city and the second tallest in Australia as well as one of the country’s most sustainable buildings.

Salesforce employees will start moving into Salesforce Tower Sydney beginning in late 2022. Plans for the building include a top “Ohana Floor” – an open hospitality space for Salesforce employees, customers and partners, which will also be available for non-profits and local education groups on weeknights and weekends at no cost.

Salesforce Tower Sydney is one of ten Towers the company has announced in key markets including its headquarters in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, London, Tokyo, Dublin, Indianapolis, and Atlanta.

“Salesforce has a proud history in Australia, having been here for over 15 years. Salesforce Tower Sydney is taking that commitment to a new level and will allow us to have an even greater impact on our people, our customers, and most importantly our community,” said Pip Marlow, CEO Salesforce Australia and New Zealand.

“Salesforce Tower Sydney builds on our momentum in Australia and furthers our investment in the region, said Elizabeth Pinkham, EVP, Real Estate, Salesforce. “At Salesforce, our real estate is a physical expression of our culture and values. We are deeply committed to the communities where we live and work, and we show that through employee volunteerism, and opening our Towers to non-profits in our communities.”

New Innovations in Sustainability

Salesforce Tower Sydney will be one of the most sustainable office campuses in the city. The building has achieved Sydney’s first-ever WELL core and Shell Platinum pre-certification and is pursuing 6 Star Green Star Design and As Built rating, representing world excellence in sustainable design. The design focuses on energy efficiency, reducing water use and greenhouse gas emissions as well as limiting construction waste.
