If completed as planned in 2025, the high-rise would stand 590 ft and rank as the world’s tallest timber building, beating out the current record holder, the 280-ft-tall Mjøstårnet building, in Brumunddal, Norway.
An Australian technology company, Atlassian, has hired the design team of New York City-based SHoP, and Sydney architect BVN, for its headquarters.
