The 30 Pirie Street, formerly Telstra House, is a high-rise building that is located in the Adelaide central business district on the northern side of Pirie Street. It rises 117 metres above the ground and has 23 floors.[1]

Construction of the building by Hansen Yuncken began in 1984 and was completed in 1987.[2] Upon completion, Telecom House was the tallest building in Adelaide at 104 metres (341 ft),[3] until Westpac House was completed in 1988.

A major refurbishment of the building took place in 2019.[1]

30 Pirie Street was originally owned by Telstra but later sold to Australian Unity. Telstra will vacate the building in August 2023.[4]

In December 2022, it was acquired by Quintessential, a privately owned property development company, for $73 million and rebranded as 30 Pirie Street.[5][6][7]
