Pinsent Masons completes move into new Sydney office

The firm has moved into levels 16 and 17 of 33 Alfred St today, occupying 2,600 square metres of office space – an increase of 1,850 square metres from its previous home at 1 Macquarie Place. 

The heritage-listed building – Sydney’s first skyscraper – has been refurbished to suit the needs of modern businesses and to improve sustainability. The Pinsent Masons fitout was designed by leading architecture firm Bates Smart and constructed by national fitout and construction services specialist Shape, who also designed and constructed the fitout of the firm’s Melbourne office at 101 Collins Street in 2023.

Partner and Head of Sydney, Sadie Andrew, said the move to 33 Alfred St was an important development for Pinsent Masons.

’33 Alfred Street is an iconic address in Sydney, and we are incredibly excited to be calling it our home,’ Sadie said.

‘Our new office will provide us with the space and flexibility to efficiently collaborate with each other, our colleagues across our multinational network and our clients. It will also aligns with our sustainability goals, as 33 Alfred Street is targeting 5.5-Star NABERS Energy and 6-Star Green Star Office As Built v3 ratings.’

Partner and Head of Australia, Matthew Croagh, said the move was an investment in the future of the firm in Australia.

‘We are proud of what we have achieved so far in our 10 years in Australia, but we are very much just scratching the surface,’ Matthew said.

‘We have launched new practice teams in Australia over the past three years and enhanced the way we develop our people. This expansion has demanded better facilities for our people to thrive. The move into 33 Alfred Street is another sign of the investment we are willing to make to make to ensure the success of the firm and the clients with which we work.’
