The World Tower is a super tall building in Sydney, Australia, where people live. It's like a giant apartment building! It was designed by a company called Fender Katsalidis. This amazing building stands about 230 meters (755 feet) tall. For a while, it was the tallest residential building in Australia. Now, it's the second tallest residential building in Sydney.

Work on the World Tower started in 2001 and it was finished in 2004. A company called Meriton built it. When it was new, the World Tower even won an award for its design!

Inside the World Tower

The World Tower has 75 floors above the ground where people live. It also has 10 levels underground for things like parking. There are 15 lifts (elevators) to help people get up and down quickly. In total, there are 701 apartments inside!

Cool Features for Residents

The building is split into three main sections for living. Each of these sections has some really cool things for the people who live there:

  • A swimming pool
  • A spa to relax in
  • A sauna for warmth
  • A gymnasium for working out
  • A games room for fun
  • A private movie theater with 24 seats!

The swimming pools and spas on levels 38 and 61 have amazing views. You can see almost all of Sydney from up there! There's also a special place for kids, a childcare center, right inside the building.

Nearby Attractions

Right next to the World Tower is a big shopping area called World Square. It has a supermarket, lots of places to eat, and many other shops. It's super convenient for the people living in the tower!

Getting Around Sydney

It's easy to get to and from the World Tower. Public buses stop right outside World Square. The building is also very close to two train stations: Town Hall and Museum railway station. This makes it simple to explore other parts of Sydney.

Filming Location History

Did you know that the area where World Tower now stands has a bit of movie history? Some parts of the 1995 film Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie were filmed on the land that later became World Square and the World Tower site.
