| Thiess to build Queensland’s healthiest building Australian engineering and construction firm Thiess has signed a $123 million contract with Leighton Properties to build Queensland's healthiest building, King George Central, at 145 Ann Street in Brisbane's CBD. The office tower would be the first such CBD development to commence in Australia since the start of the global financial crisis, and came on the heels of the recently completed 400 George Street Brisbane office tower, which has received a 5 Star Green Star – Office Design v2 rating from the Green Building Council of Australia. King George Central is the first building in Australia to be publicly endorsed by the Heart Foundation, and will feature user‐friendly staircases to all floors from the ground up, a bike fleet and a healthy choice café. Construction is expected to begin immediately, with the project set to finish early 2012. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
