1 Blight Place is a flagship office property for co-owners DEXUS Property Group, DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund (DWPF) and Cbus Property. The property is testament to our commitment to deliver the highest quality office space.

1 Bligh provides 27 levels of office space. Every aspect of the tower from the double-skin façade to the full-height glass atrium is designed to optimise sustainability performance and the workplace environment.

Sustainable Features:

Central atrium

A naturally ventilated glass atrium soars the full height of the building, providing a flow of fresh air and a sense of openness on every floor. Providing dynamic views through the building, the atrium is an arrival point for all floors, enhancing communication, connection and community.

Double skin façade

1 Bligh will be the first high-rise office tower in Australia to feature a double-skin, glass façade. An outer glass skin protects computer-controlled sun shades, shielding the double glazed curtain wall from the sun, whilst reflecting natural light into the building. This is one of the most energy efficient features available in high-rise buildings today.

Air conditioning

A hybrid structure combining a variable air volume (VAV) with a chilled beam air conditioning system installed to maximise comfort levels and reduce energy consumption.

Energy generation

1 Bligh uses an innovative tri-generation system that uses gas and solar energy to generate cooling, heating and electricity.

Solar panels

A series of curved solar thermal collectors provide the energy to drive the cooling systems; an advanced hybrid of VAV and chilled beam air conditioning technology.

Black water recycling

1 Bligh is Sydney's first CBD commercial office tower to incorporate black water recycling. Black water recycling reduces water consumption through out the building with the provision of clean, recycled water for the washroom flushing system. Recycled water is also used to irrigate a feature 9.7m high green wall.

Recycled rain water

Recycled rain water is used to irrigate decorative plantings spread throughout the building, from the rooftop terrace to the open transfer floor and down to the ground plane, green wall and childcare facility.
