International Towers Sydney are three commercial buildings which, when completed, will form the core of the commercial, residential, retail and leisure development at Barangaroo South in Sydney, Australia. More than 50 per cent of the Barangaroo South precinct (7.6 hectares) will be accessible to the public. The ITS development will deliver 283,900 m2 of commercial office space, approximately 800 residential apartments, up to 90 retail outlets and a landmark international hotel, Crown Sydney.

The three office skyscrapers International Towers Sydney, individually known as International Tower 1, 2 and 3, have been designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.
