Brisbane, Queensland
Constructed on the site of an existing carpark, this new commercial tower is positioned within a prime CBD precinct. The 23-level premium grade office building will boast 36,500m2 of new space, three basement levels and five podium floors. Construction is due for completion in 2010.
FEATURES:
123 Albert Street has been designed to achieve a world’s best practice 6 Star Green Star rating and a 5 Star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) for the building.
BENEFITS:
Laing O’Rourke is undertaking the project with a ‘client-led’ approach where the team is actively listening and providing solutions to challenges. Drawing on a combination of the company’s local and international experience the team is providing value-added benefits through both the design and construct phases, in particular:
- a proven ability to achieve the desired 6 Star Greenstar and 5 Star ABGR ratings
- valuable alternative design solutions that have eliminated structural transfers and will improve the building efficiency without compromising the concept
- the use of specialist Building Information Modelling (BIM) which is assisting in delivering the design in 3D
- providing the client with a ‘one-team’ approach by engaging Expanded (Laing O’Rourke’s own civil contracting company) to manage the site set-up, demolition and in-ground works.
Additionally, Laing O’Rourke has committed to undertaking the integrated fit-out of 25,000m2 of office space as part of the contract for the client’s major pre-committed tenant, Rio Tinto.
