There's also a Frank Gehry-designed university building, a now completed building clad in vertical gardens, and two eye-catching proposals from Koichi Takada architects.
Takada hopes to have both his developments completed by late 2016, while Gehry's university building was set for completion later this month. The casino development at Barangaroo is expected to be fully operational by 2019.
By 2020, it seems the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge will have some extra company in the city's sparkling Central Business District.
Sydney By Crown, designed by Takada's firm, is a 25-story $250 million development set for the CBD.

There's a lane-way in between, which will feature more traditional ground-level architecture.
