New Super Green Commercial Tower under construction in Brisbane




Construction has recently commenced on 180 Brisbane, a stunning new $300 million 34-storey office tower, located at 180 Ann Street in Brisbane.

The ambitious project is being developed by Daisho Group, constructed by Watpac, designed by architects Crone Partners and project managed by Savills. Hyder has been appointed to provide civil, structural and façade design for the development.

It will also include a huge artistic imprint of the Brisbane River on its façade; the first artistic imprint façade in Brisbane. An ambitious green rating target is also featured; the aim to be Brisbane’s first 6 Star Green Star V3 Office grading and aiming for a 5.5 Star NABERS Energy Rating.
When complete this iconic building will truly transform the CBD and set a new standard for commercial buildings.

one serendra

Hi! These photos were taken on a recent trip to Makati. So recent, I am now writing, lying in bed in my hotel room, on my last day of the trip. 

We were lucky, because it is the raining season in the Philippines and the sun has been out the whole time. The pictures show photos of Serendra East Tower in Fort Bonifacio. Designed by Crone Partners in 2006 for Ayala Land Premier. One Serendra is a twin tower residential development promoting healthy green living. I felt very touristy, but had to get a photo in front of the advertising sign.

I have been working in the Philippines now for over 7 years and still amazed by how welcoming, kind and happy the Filipino people are. I wish I could take some of that mind set on life, back with me to Sydney.
