Aurecon
Aurecon’s new timber office flies the flag for green certifications
Background
Aurecon is one of the world’s leading engineering and infrastructure advisory firms, behind projects including Sydney’s Bankwest Stadium, the fibre roll-out in South Africa, and Macau’s Eiffel Tower. JLL was tasked with helping Aurecon find a new office space that could adapt with its growing business and embody the company’s culture of ambition and excellence.
Approach
With the Brisbane market working in Aurecon’s favour, we proposed a new, purpose-built office, enabling the firm to meet its workplace goals and financial objectives. We helped Aurecon engage with many leading developers, designers and architects. Ultimately, Lendlease, which required a major tenant commitment to commence construction on a Brisbane site, was selected with the promise to set a new benchmark in environmental sustainability.
The nine-storey building at 25 King Street is constructed almost entirely of timber and is the largest cross-laminated timber office building in the southern hemisphere. What’s more, it has set new environmental benchmarks across the real estate industry for energy use and wellness.
Results
- Aurecon’s Brisbane office has earned international acclaim for its sustainability and innovation
- 6 Star Green Star rating
- 5 Star NABERS Energy rating
- WELL Core & Shell rating
