| Anchors | MLC |
| Notes | Draft from theguardian.com, model-extracted, unreviewed: Just outside the CBD, a 14-storey building has sat vacant since financial business MLC vacated in 2022. North Sydney council opposed plans to reuse the tower for a build-to-rent project and the developer, Investa, now plans to build commercial and education facilities. |
