The former head office building was demolished in September 1962 to make way for the landmark modernist Australia Square development by Lend Lease/Civil & Civic and designed by Harry Seidler.

When the Australian Mutual Provident Society commenced business in Sydney in the Colony of New South Wales in 1849, its first premises were located at 314 George Street.

[4][5][6] The foundation stone of this new head office was laid on 23 January 1877 by the AMP Society chairman, John Smith, with the main building construction tender undertaken by Hugh McMaster.

[18] In order to accommodate future growth, AMP Society acquired adjoining sites to the south of the offices up to Little George Street (now known as Curtin Place), and commissioned further extensions in March 1916 designed in the same classical style by architects John Kirkpatrick & Son, who won the contract in a public competition.

[21][22][23] These additions were savaged in Building, which noted that "it is a pity that such a graceful, correctly designed and handsomely executed facade should have tacked on to it as its most prominent feature such miserable substitute for architecture.

[28] The demolition of the former AMP Head Office was completed by late 1962, and the construction of Australia Square by Civil & Civic to a design by Harry Seidler commenced in December 1962.
