111 George Street

111 George Street, Government skyscraper in Brisbane, Australia.

111 George Street is a government office tower completed in 1993 on George Street in the Brisbane CBD, Queensland. Its facade is covered by a repetitive grill pattern, which led to the nickname 'cheese grater'. The building is owned, managed and occupied by the Queensland Government. A smaller sister building, 33 Charlotte Street, was completed on the adjoining site in September 2004 and has a very similar facade.

The building was designed by architect Robin Gibson and opened in 1993 as part of Brisbane's plan to expand government office facilities. It emerged during a period of growth and development in the city's administrative infrastructure.

The tower is occupied by three Queensland Government departments: Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety; Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and Multiculturalism; and Arts Queensland. The directors-general of the first two sit at 1 William Street, while other departments have moved out of 111 George Street.

The building sits in the central business district with excellent access to public transportation options. It connects easily to nearby transit stations and neighboring administrative facilities.

The grill pattern earned 111 George Street the nickname "cheese grater". Its adjoining sister project, 33 Charlotte Street, completed in September 2004, repeats a very similar facade at 75 m high.
