History
This office tower was constructed between 1987 and 1989 during a major development period of Brisbane's business district. The building's completion reflected growing investment in the city's commercial center during the late 1980s.
Culture
The foyer functions as a space where visitors can view rotating art displays from local and international artists. A grand piano in the entrance area adds a cultural element that enriches the experience for people passing through.
Practical
The building is easily accessible by public transport with bus routes and nearby train stations nearby, offering multiple entry points and an open foyer area for visitors. To view the art displays in the foyer, plan your visit during standard business hours when the space is most active.
Did you know?
The site has an overlooked historical layer as it sits on the location of Brisbane's original port area before becoming a modern business tower. An earlier warehouse building called Naldham House, constructed in 1888 for a shipping company, occupied this ground before today's structure was built.
