The Connaught

The Connaught is a landmark residential apartment building in Sydney, Australia overlooking Hyde Park. It is known for being one of the first high-rise strata apartment buildings in Sydney.

The site where The Connaught stands today was originally the site of the Paris Theatre designed by architect Walter Burley Griffin, and demolished in 1981. The thirty-storey Connaught was completed in 1984 by Civil & Civic, builders of the Sydney Opera House, and was named in honour of the Duke of Connaught, Prince Arthur, third son of Queen Victoria and former Governor-General of Canada.
