CBRE has moved into Adelaide’s first all-electric office building at 83 Pirie Street, after completed a state-of-the-art office fit out of the top floor.
The new office spans 1,050sqm open plan space in the $365 million Cbus Property-owned 83 Pirie Street, with CBRE outgrowing its former Adelaide home at the nearby 151 Pirie Street.
“The space is representative of our brand and showcases the full range of office relocation services that we can offer to our clients. Our Workplace Consulting Strategy team was central to the process, defining our business drivers and workspace parameters with the full buy-in of our staff,” said Alistair Laycock, managing director at CBRE, South Australia.
“The subsequent off-market search process and lease negotiations were driven by our South Australian Director of Tenant Representation Alexandra McGee, with CBRE’s Global Workplace Solutions team constructing the fit out.”
The building was completed in late-2022 and last month awarded Development of the Year by the Property Council of South Australia.
83 Pirie Street is targeting a 5.5 Star NABERS Energy Base Building rating and boasts a 100-kilowatt onsite solar system and a renewable energy power purchase agreement to ensure the all-electric base-building is 100% powered by renewables.
This on top of a 6.0 Star NABERS Waste and Indoor Environment ratings, with CBRE also targeting a 6.0 Star NABERS Tenancy rating and a 5.0 Star Green Star Fit out Certification.
Staff amenities at the building also include an onsite gym, an app-accessed wellness program, a rooftop terrace, and premium end-of-trip facilities.
“We developed a well-crafted workplace strategy brief that aligned our space with business goals, driving efficiency, enhancing employee experience, and ultimately increasing organisational value,” said Amrita Vilkhu, workplace consulting director at CBRE.
“With a diverse mix of spaces tailored to different work modes, along with areas to relax and recharge, we have created a destination that empowers our people to be their best. Additionally, we have crafted an exceptional client experience, creating an environment that fosters meaningful collaboration and drives success.”
