What do you think will be the next renovated highrise in Brisbane. There are many to choose from, but personally the next I think would be 444 Queen due to it's proximity to new big towers. I surely hope some of the Government buildings like capital hill and the executive building but I wont be holding my breath.

Any others??

Transit centres just need to be rebuilt. I think the Hitachi building! that area is becoming denser...

Suncorp Building (with the clock)
The Elizabeth Street Myer Centre frontage, perhaps knock out that entire wall
Elizabeth Street Arcade, I think they should knock the roof out and make it a lane
Transit Centre

^^ Suncorp Plaza is being refurbished in 2007.

The Hilton and Sofitel Hotels need external refurbishments.

^^ I cannot believe I forgot the hotels! But yes, they are in desperate need.

Biala also needs to be externally renovated or demolished ASAP. It is the government community health centre, just opposite the Transit Centre. I cannot find a photo right now, but it is brown and sure sticks out.

(Thank God Suncorp is being renovated)

If 444 Queen is the Medibank Private building next to Aurora then i reckon that is number one priority given its aspect from the river.

Transit Centre, Parlimentary Annexe, Executive Building and Mineral House.


As for L block at QUT, it will be replaced in a few years anyway.
And most of QUT isn't ugly. Only L, C and V blocks are horrible. The rest are all either (fairly) new or are from the early 1900s.

Mineral House. It looks like it was designed by Stevie Wonder.
