LENDLEASE has officially opened Australia’s tallest engineered timber office building, 25 King.
Designed and manufactured by Lendlease and sold to Impact Investment Group (IIG), the ground floor plus nine-storey timber commercial tower features open and flexible office space complemented by exposed timber structures to create a contemporary and creative studio environment.
Global engineering firm, Aurecon, now occupies 43.5% of the net lettable area, with IIG working with Lendlease to secure new tenants for the remaining office space.
25 King is targeting a 6 Star Green Star rating, a 5 Star NABERS Energy rating and a WELL Core & Shell rating to complement the precinct’s 6 Star Green Star – Communities rating.
Lendlease’s urban regeneration managing director John Burton, “Delivering the next generation of sustainable workplaces is a wonderful achievement for the Brisbane Showgrounds precinct.
“The building demonstrates greener and healthier ways of working. This creates a workplace that lives and breathes a culture of collaboration providing workers with a sense of belonging,” he added.
IIG’s head of funds management – real estate Darren Brusnahan said, “We think 25 King’s superb environmental credentials and tenant amenity will make a great contribution to its investment performance.”
