Central Plaza Complex, Office building complex in Brisbane, Australia
The Central Plaza Complex comprises three commercial buildings in Brisbane's business district, with the first tower standing at 174 meters across 44 floors and serving as one of the area's most prominent structures. The three buildings occupy a location at the intersection of Queen Street and Creek Street, providing office space for multiple businesses.
The first building opened in 1988 and held the title of Brisbane's tallest structure for 17 years before Riparian Plaza surpassed it in 2005. This succession marks the city's ongoing growth and transformation in commercial architecture during this period.
Japanese architect Kurokawa Kisho incorporated modern architectural elements into the design of Central Plaza 1, influencing Brisbane's commercial architecture.
The complex is centrally located in Brisbane's business district and easy to reach on foot while exploring downtown. The office spaces are not open to the public, but the buildings remain visible and accessible for viewing from street level.
The first building features a specialized window cleaning system with a rotating top section designed to safely maintain its extensive glass exterior surfaces. This technical feature was an innovative solution to address the challenges of maintaining such a tall structure.
