As the bank grew in size and importance so did the need for more space. Two adjoining buildings in Pitt Street were acquired between and and incorporated into the new headquarters. Further additions and extensions were made in the late s and mids to create the most stand-out building in the commercial and financial heart of Sydney: Martin Place.

The group saw the benefits of moving into a relatively new storey tower to house its head office functions and, after a major refurbishment to accommodate the environmental, IT and floor space requirements, began moving the first teams into Darling Park in Ten years from then a refurbished CBP will take its place in the pantheon of buildings that can proudly declare themselves the head office of the CBA: the bank for all Australians.
