#Completed: 400 George Street - 37st/150m/office

Thanks Jayt! Nice foyer!

[Muse]

The tower component is looking great but still trying to get my head around the crown tho' - looks funky. ...but why does Australia persist in including only 1, 2 or if very lucky, 3-storey lobbies? The above render displays what only looks like a 1-storey (higher than the office floors however) lobby with a 2-level podium above it. Seems it will make interesting streetscape though.

Some countries build monumental 5-6 storey lobbies on a regular basis that are great for P.R. on a corporate level - I know a couple exist in Oz, so no need to rattle them off, and I guess every square metre of space to be utilised is of great $$$ importance (@ least in short-term brackets), instead of said on-site corporate P.R..

*soft rant over*

I love watercolour and ink renders. Hard to do but if you can nail them they look supoib.

Looks nice, render is a little misleading, a building was recently demolished in Tank Street, so you won't see anywhere near as much building

[SoulvisionQ1]

Yeah, evolution will be right in front of it... but from Southbank and Northbank you would be able to see it better i think...

[Malt]

:P

Really bad but its just an indication lol

[Shado]

Looks messy, don't like the inconsistent vertical lines. (Looks like something made out of randomly sized bits of lego.)

[SoulvisionQ1]

lol, I think it looks kinda real!

What...like Brisbane Square???

[Oriolus]

So...

Height: 144.5m (159.0m RL)
Floors (above ground): 32
Floors (below ground): 4
Site Area: 2902 sqm
Floor Plates: 1614 sqm or 1621 sqm
Gross Floor Area: 49 617 sqm
Net Lettable Area: 41 893 sqm
Lifts: 15
Carparks: 217
Developer: Leighton Properties
Architect: Cox Rayner

I like stats

[Danubis]

so at 144.5m its not really that much shorter then brisbane square

[Malt]

5m

[BrizzyChris]

Actually 6m.

[CULWULLA]

its actually higher then brisbane square. the bulk of this bldg is basically the top of the white plantroom @ 144.5m. Brisbanes squares roof = 143m.thus 1.5m lower.
400 george sts RL is also higher at 159m compared to bris sq 157m.(LMR=165m)

[CULWULLA]

Heres a real quick elevation comparison..

[Locke]

Great diagram Culwulla, this is Brisbane Square Mark II, rewind!

Still, this thing is 145m and has 30-35,000 sqm of office, yeah that's alright, but they you think about it, twice the sqm office space would have gotten us a 290m office building! ...and how easy would it be to fill two of these things in the current and predicted market, what with Telstra, gov and business on the hunt. Someone needs to step up to the plate!

From an advertisment in yesterday's Financial Review, Thurs. 11/05/2006:

Render of 400 George St - forgive shitty quality:



...and one of the lobby areas:

There is a full page ad on page 95 of today's Courier Mail. Has high quality version of the render in Muse's post.

[Locke]

Not wasting any time are they. Thing they want to get a jump on the competition by the looks of it!

[SoulvisionQ1]

When is construction starting????
