Photos: Sydney Googleplex Under Construction

During a recent visit to Sydney, Google chief executive Eric Schmidt revealed the company's Australian division would soon move from its current offices in Darling Harbour to a brand new facility several kilometres away in Pyrmont. We take you on a tour of the facility, which is in the latter stages of construction.

    That last picture is so funny -- is it Eric or Rob Shilkin holding up the sign?

    This building was underway way before Google signed on as a tenant. Like every business moving to Pyrmont it is great for the bean counters (lower rents) and management (parking plus views) and terrible for staff (extra 30 minutes commuting each day, terrible transport to city plus no amenities in Pyrmont)

    Is not too bad Anonymous -- 31/07/08 (in reply to #320108112)

    I work at the building right behind. There are quite a few cafes nearby and I think the food aren't too bad.
    With the daily 30mins walk you will become healthier.

    Are these pictures even worth the space on the site? Anonymous -- 01/08/08

    Wow - a construction site!!!!

    Zdnet perhaps should have waited until the building was finished and with the Google fitout in place - that would have been more newsworthy that this complete pap.
