Bradfield Development Authority’s First Building is a visionary precinct that marks the start of construction for Australia’s newest city, Bradfield City Centre. The First Building includes a pilot of the new Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility.
A state-of-the-art facility, the First Building will enable the manufacturing industry to drive productivity improvements, utilise innovative technology, and propel the development of research and prototypes into commercial products.
Located within the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, the diverse, dynamic and sustainable global city precinct will unlock $10 billion in private investment.
Connecting and designing with Country is at the heart of the design, taking cues from the surrounding natural waterway and Cumberland Plans. The building will be open and welcoming, surrounded by green and open spaces where residents, workers and visitors can gather. This development is set to achieve a 6 Star Green Star rating, full Living Building Challenge certification, and a 5.5 Star NABERS Energy and Water rating. It will be energy positive, carbon neutral, water balanced, nature positive, healthy and inspiring.
Once complete, research institutions and the wider industry will have access to some of the Advanced Manufacturing and Research Facility’s high-tech facilities including research equipment, a visitor centre and shared-use offices.
