In 1971, the Sydney Church of England Girls' Grammar School (SCEGGS) lodged plans with Sydney City Council for a twin tower development on land that was partially owned by the school in Darlinghurst. The development was bounded by William, Forbes and Bourke Street's.

The scheme proposed comprised of two towers. One tower would be forty stories tall with the second tower rising twenty stories.
Cost of construction would have cost $45 million but for SCEGGS, the income stream from rental of commercial space in the towers would have kept fee increases to a minimum.
Unfortuantely, I do not have any information about why the scheme did not proceed.
