Suncorp Metway Plaza, Commercial skyscraper in Brisbane, Australia
Suncorp Metway Plaza is a 26-story office building located at the corner of Albert and Turbot Streets in Brisbane. The structure features geometric patterns and solid concrete surfaces typical of its construction period.
The building was completed in 1971 and held the title of Brisbane's tallest structure until 1978. This period marked an important phase in the city's vertical growth.
The building represents the brutalist architectural movement of the 1970s, with its geometric design and concrete construction methods evident throughout the structure.
The building sits directly across from the Brisbane Dental Hospital and is easily accessible by public transport. Its prominent location at a major street intersection makes it simple to find and identify.
A 10-meter digital clock sits at the building's summit and replaced a former rotating restaurant that once operated there. This installation holds the distinction of being Australia's highest mounted clock.
