About The Matrix

The Matrix is an A-Grade mixed-use building at 1 Bridgeway in Century City, combining commercial office accommodation with ground-floor retail or showroom space and residential apartments above. Rabie's development material records 4,587 m² of offices across three storeys, while Vivid Architects describes a deliberate industrial warehouse aesthetic using robust facebrick façades, floor-to-floor glazing and natural materials. Independent construction coverage likewise identifies The Matrix as one of the distinct buildings forming Century City Square, with retail or showrooms, three office levels and residential accommodation above. For commercial occupiers, the building's defining qualities are therefore its mixed-use setting, flexible office character and direct relationship with the public square and surrounding hospitality uses. The Brightwave's current building records the building as A-Grade, commercially zoned and containing 4,587 m² of gross lettable area.

Position in the local market

Within Century City Square, The Matrix plays a different role from the larger pure office buildings around it. Its commercial component is integrated with ground-floor showroom or retail space and residential accommodation, while the architectural treatment intentionally references an industrial warehouse rather than a conventional glass office block. Vivid Architects specifically links the design to flexible, practical office space and a distinctive interior feel. Rabie's 2016 material also positioned the building for small and medium-sized businesses seeking space within the broader commercial and hospitality hub of the Square. This makes The Matrix most relevant to occupiers that value a mixed-use setting, a design-led identity and close access to restaurants, meeting venues and public transport, rather than a standalone corporate campus.

office

Office space

The office component occupies three storeys and is recorded by Rabie at 4,587 m² in total. The original scheme was designed around flexible office accommodation, with Vivid Architects describing the building as practical, sophisticated and adaptable in spatial character. The office floors sit above ground-floor showroom and retail space and below residential levels, giving occupiers a genuine mixed-use context rather than a conventional single-use office block. This profile is best suited to professional, creative and service businesses that value flexible workplace planning and a more urban, design-led setting.

Retail space

At ground level, The Matrix was developed with showroom and retail space forming part of the public-facing edge of the building. Rabie's development material identifies this as a distinct commercial component below the office floors. The retail setting also benefits from its place within Century City Square, where the Conference Centre's current site information confirms restaurants, public space and parking as part of the immediate environment. This profile is best suited to customer-facing showroom and retail uses that benefit from an active mixed-use setting.

Location intelligence

Access and surrounding destinations

The Matrix is located at 1 Bridgeway and forms part of Century City Square in the Bridgeways precinct. Rabie's development material places the building around the public square alongside the conference centre, hotel, restaurants and other commercial uses. The current Century City Conference Centre page confirms that the Square functions as an active outdoor venue with restaurants and parking, while the Conference Centre itself is at 4 Energy Lane in the same precinct. Public transport access is directly evidenced by MyCiTi's 2026 service update: route 264 serves the Bridgeway stop and connects it with Century City station and Century City Rail, alongside other Century City stops. Rabie also recorded rail access as part of The Matrix's original occupier proposition. No road travel times or walking distances are stated here because the cited records do not provide reliable building-specific measurements. For occupiers, the strongest verified access advantages are the Bridgeway address, the public square, the conference facilities and the current MyCiTi connection to the rail node.

Points to consider

Current operational building specifications are not comprehensively documented in reliable first-party public sources.
Parking figures published historically relate partly to the wider Century City Square precinct and should not be interpreted as current Matrix-specific allocations.
Building-specific sustainability certification should not be inferred from the wider Century City Square Green Star rating.

Building background

Development of The Matrix took place as part of Century City Square during the mid-2010s. Rabie reported the building under construction in May 2015 and stated that its office component totalled 4,587 m² across three storeys. By March 2016, Rabie reported that the sectional-title offices had been sold ahead of completion and expected occupation from early April. Independent Engineering News coverage in June 2016 identified The Matrix as one of the key buildings in the Square and described the red facebrick treatment chosen to create an industrial warehouse character. In November 2016, Rabie announced that the wider Century City Square development had received a 4-Star Green Star Custom Mixed Use Design rating. This rating is d for the wider Square, not as a separate verified rating for The Matrix alone.

Questions about The Matrix

What type of building is The Matrix?

The Matrix is a mixed-use building. Its commercial component includes ground-floor showroom and retail space with three office storeys above, while residential apartments occupy the upper levels. This composition is documented by both Rabie and independent construction coverage of Century City Square.

How much office space is in The Matrix?

Brightwave's Brightwave's current building records 4,587 m² of gross lettable area. Rabie's May 2015 development release independently states 4,587 m² of offices across three storeys. A March 2016 Rabie release rounded the office figure to 4,500 m², so this profile retains the locked 4,587 m² figure and records the discrepancy.

What is distinctive about The Matrix's architecture?

The building was deliberately designed with an industrial warehouse character. Vivid Architects describes robust facebrick façades, floor-to-floor window treatment and natural materials, while Engineering News records the use of red facebrick specifically to create the contemporary industrial warehouse appearance.

Does The Matrix have access to public transport?

Yes. MyCiTi's 2026 service update confirms that route 264 serves the Bridgeway stop and links it with Century City station and Century City Rail. Rabie's earlier building material also identified public transport and rail access as part of The Matrix's location proposition.

Does The Matrix have a Green Star rating?

The reviewed evidence confirms that the wider Century City Square development, which includes The Matrix, received a 4-Star Green Star Custom Mixed Use Design rating in 2016. A separate building-specific Green Star certificate for The Matrix was not found, so the building should not be described as independently rated without further evidence.
