The Sydney Institute of Technology, Ultimo, is part of an ongoing tradition of centralised commercial, financial and professional dealings within the CBD, particularly of emporia. The choice of site reflects the pre-eminence of this precinct for retail in the 1920s-30s. The building is historically significant for its associations with the influential Australian retailing firm Marcus Clarke, with Spain & Cosh architects, and with James Nangle, architect, teacher of architects and later superintendent of technical education in NSW. It is one of the largest Free Classical buildings of the Inter-war period, distinguished from its peers by the "skyscraper" effect of the central tower. The former Marcus Clarke building is one of the major contributors to the spatial quality and townscape character of Railway Square and a rare record of the development of Railway Square and Broadway as a transportation node. The twelve storey tall central tower defines the building as a landmark on the southern edge of the CBD. Its social significance is as a reminder of the former role of Broadway as a retail shopping area and more recently for its functions within the Sydney Institute of Technology.
