Winter rooms and balconies will be incorporated into the design to allow access to fresh air and elevated garden spaces.

60 Queen Street is also targeting a 6 Star Green Star rating and 5.5-star NABERS energy rating. As part of this goal, the design has been shaped to allow sun hoods which direct both internal and external views and provide protection to the north-west solar impacts.

Charter hall’s Regional Development Director QLD & WA Bradley Norris, said the group aims to create the next generation, high quality buildings that support tenant customers’ requirements for technology enabled, collaborative workplaces.

“60 Queen Street’s design will capture the two most important gateway streets to the retail heart of Brisbane as well as becoming a counterpoint to Queens Wharf,” Norris said.

“The highly prominent ground floor retail and a lower ground supermarket will create a welcoming entrance to the Queen Street Mall.”

60 Queen Street’s proximity to Queen St Mall, Queens Wharf and the new Brisbane Metro station is expected to be a drawcard for prospective tenants.
