- Active ground floor uses with high proportions of clear glazing to the streets.
- Entrances to office and other upper floor uses to be prominently located on a principal elevation and designed to include generous lobby space and canopies.
- New enhanced and redesigned public realm on and around the site, including at Armada Way in accordance with established City Centre public realm design principles and materials pallets.
