123 Albert Street, Brisbane - Tower Repositioning

123 Albert Street is a 27-storey commercial office tower owned by Dexus located in the heart of the Brisbane CBD. The repositioning of this tower required extensive coordination with multiple separable portions running concurrently with interdependencies between programmes. The Buildcorp team worked to ensure a seamless delivery of all portions. The scope included:

• SMART building upgrades including full BMS upgrade and biometric readers throughout; 
• Refurbishment to the end-of-trip facilities including a full revitalisation of the amenities, inclusion of a wellness area, treatment room and cool down room; 
• Replacement of non-combustible cladding to podium facade with GRC and feature aluminium panelling; 
• Repositioning of the ground floor lobby and arrival experience including stone cladding throughout, new ceilings, reception counters and services to suit, including replacement of existing non-compliant aluminium cladding; 
• On-floor repositioning works to multiple floors including stripping back to warm shell and premium upgrades to the amenities and lift lobbies; 
• New high-end display suite to level 10 including joinery, refresh of carpets throughout and new services to suit; 
• New high-end fit-out to levels 19-21; 
• Refurbishment of Elizabeth Street laneway; 
• Removal of existing inter-connecting staircase and infill slab to increase leasable area; 
• Reconstruction of inter-connecting staircase to suit incoming tenants; 
• Landlord refurbishment works of lift lobby & amenities to levels 1-2, 10-27, and; 
• Replacement and upgrade of existing building façade with GRC cladding. 

Buildcorp actively coordinated with the Cross River Rail team, Brisbane City Council and existing retail tenants of Albert, Charlotte and Elizabeth Streets to ensure continued operations.
