We are proud to announce that Adelaide Airport Terminal Expansion (TEx) and InterContinental Sydney are both finalists for the 2024 Property Council of Australia / Rider Levett Bucknall Innovation and Excellence Awards in the Investa Award for Best Mixed Use Development category.

The Adelaide Airport Terminal Expansion is the largest infrastructure project at the airport since 2005.

The $200 million project overcame challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver major upgrades in immigration processing, security screening, and retail and dining spaces, setting a new benchmark for airport design.

Peter Tulla stated,

The Adelaide Airport expansion marks a major leap forward in improving the travel experience. It’s not just about efficiency; it’s about creating a welcoming environment that reflects the spirit of Adelaide.

InterContinental Sydney’s refurbishment, overseen by Woods Bagot, blends the historical significance of the Treasury building with contemporary luxury.

The project has enhanced one of Sydney’s most iconic hotels, positioning it as a standout destination that seamlessly merges the old with the new.

Stephen Mee said,

The InterContinental Sydney refurbishment is a celebration of both history and modern luxury. By blending the timeless beauty of the heritage-listed Treasury building with cutting-edge design, the project revitalises a Sydney icon while enhancing the guest experience.

Winners will be revealed at the ICC Sydney on 11 September.

This year marks a significant milestone for RLB, as we celebrate 75 years of shaping Australia’s built environment.

Since establishing our first overseas office in Melbourne in 1949, RLB has been part of Australia’s iconic projects, including the Sydney Opera House.

Our unwavering commitment to quality, collaboration, and innovation has been central to our legacy, as we continue to influence and shape the future of our industry.
