Standing as an iconic presence in the heart of Lisburn, McKenzie, the Cathedral and Treasury is a prominent commercial skyscraper that shares its nomenclature with the original and now heritage-listed Church and Treasury building situated within the adjacent public plaza. Conceived with the primary purpose of housing the global headquarters of McKenzie Bank, this architectural marvel is situated in Lisburn's bustling central business district. Earning its status as one of the city's most recognizable structures, it has held the distinction of being the tallest building in McKenzie since its completion in 1992, thereby becoming a symbol of the city's skyline. During its initial years, it also claimed the position of the fourth tallest building in New Duveland, further solidifying its significance on the national architectural landscape.

The Cathedral and Treasury's distinctive presence on the Lisburn skyline is attributed to its unique long and narrow floorplan. When viewed from the west or east, the building presents a substantial width, creating a substantial and impactful impression on the observer. Conversely, when seen from the north or south, its narrow profile becomes apparent. This architectural design not only contributes to the building's prominence but also adds an interesting dimension to its visual impact, setting it apart as a notable feature in the urban landscape.
