The development features architecturally expressed structural steel mega-trusses, which are designed to resist earthquake and wind forces. In addition, the building accommodates commercial office spaces with a 5-star NABERS rating, and a self-assessed Green Star Design and As-Built rating equivalent to 5-stars. Owners, tenants and visitors alike will benefit from the consciously designed future-focussed spaces that minimise negative impacts on the environment and maximise the wellbeing of our communities.
