The AMP Building is a high rise office block in the Sydney central business district on the corner of Alfred, Phillip and Young streets.
In 1958, the AMP Society announced plans to build a new headquarters in the Sydney central business district on the corner of Alfred, Phillip and Young Streets.[1] It was designed by Peddle, Thorp and Walker architects[2] and was the tallest building in Australia at the time, being opened on 23 November 1962 by Prime Minister Robert Menzies.[3] It had an observation deck on its roof and had over a million visitors in the first 2 years.[4]
