Suncorp has announced that construction has begun on its new Headquarters at 80 Ann Street in Brisbane, which is being developed by Mirvac.
An official ceremony was held on 21 September to mark the start of construction, following the completion of demolition and civil works at the site. The event was attended by the Federal Member for Brisbane Trevor Evans MP, Mirvac and Suncorp.
Suncorp’s Acting CEO Steve Johnston said that it was important that its new Brisbane office reflected Suncorp’s strong Queensland heritage.
“Suncorp has been providing Queenslanders with financial services for over 100 years, and the development of our new headquarters demonstrates our ongoing commitment to Queensland. We are pleased to be partnering with Mirvac on this important project, as they help us bring together our people from across three city locations into a modern and collaborative workspace,” he said.
The project will incorporate elements from Brisbane City Council’s ‘Buildings that Breathe’ principle, with spaces that open out to external and landscaped green space. Mirvac is also revitalising the historic Brisbane Fruit and Produce Exchange on Turbot Street, an important part of Brisbane’s heritage, which will form part of the site.
The development will incorporate a Suncorp store for customers, and a precinct that offers a 'vibrant destination for the local community'.
