A short site visit by the NSW Treasurer has signalled the vertical completion of the Crown Sydney hotel and residences .
Dominic Perrottet was joined by Crown Chair Helen Coonan, Crown’s Chief Executive Officer, Ken Barton, Crown Executive Vice President - Strategy and Development, Todd Nisbet and Lendlease Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Steve McCann, for Friday's ceremony, which took place in line with social distancing measures.

Homeowners at Crown Residences at One Barangaroo, located in the upper floors of the building, are on schedule to move into the building in the first half of 2021.
Ms Coonan said the project had the potential to form part of a "new, positive outlook" following the COVID-19 crisis.
“This building was designed to be a tribute to Sydney and a landmark recognised around the world," she said.

"Today we celebrate the completion of our final floor in the tower, putting us well and truly on the path to the completion.”
Over 1,300 people will continue to work on the interior fit-out of Crown Sydney throughout the remainder of 2020.
Mr Barton commended the NSW Government for keeping the state's construction industry open and allowing the employment of the workers to continue.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has presented Crown with many challenges and has required us to make some difficult decisions," he said.
"We are grateful for the NSW government’s decision to keep the construction industry open with strict COVID-19 measures in place.
"Not only has this supported over 1,300 jobs at our site at a time of great economic uncertainty, it also keeps us on track to provide over 2,000 more jobs when we open.”
Mr McCann said 97 per cent of the tradespeople on the project were employed by local businesses.
