‘The One’ nears completion, joining W Hotel and 300 George Street offices
Construction on a three-tower megaproject which created 4000 jobs in Brisbane’s CBD is entering the final six months of a whopping six years of work.
A FUTURISTIC skyscraper which will become Brisbane’s equal-tallest building is nearing completion after six years of construction.

Developer Shayher Group said the mixed-use development at 300 George St would be externally complete by March 2021.
The three-tower development which began in March 2015 includes the W Hotel, a major office tower and the residential tower.
“It has been a great achievement for which we are very proud,” Shayher Group spokesman Anthony Goh said.
“Although the development will mature into a thriving inner city mixed use development, we will reflect on all the hard work it has taken to get it here and the people involved at all levels.”
The development, located at the former site of the Law Courts, has created 4000 jobs through construction.
“It has taken six years to complete the greater 300 George precinct in multiple stages,” Mr Goh said.
Once complete, Shayher claim The One will be Brisbane’s equal-tallest tower, sharing the title with the nearby Brisbane Skytower on Margaret Street.
Shayher Group are expected to move into the office tower at 300 George Street in coming weeks.
