One One One Eagle Street is to become the tallest office building in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[3] With 6 star Green Star office design rating[2], the building will be part of the CBD's 'Golden Triangle' district. Its location is the site of the old Indigo House building, which was demolished over a period of six months starting in 2008. 95% of all waste from the old building is to be recycled or reused.

The site is located between the Riverside Centre and Riparian Plaza buildings. Leighton Contractor is constructing the skyscraper which will have 50 floors and cost A$335 million to build.[4]

Design

The building contains a steel structural frame[5] and was designed by architects Cox Rayner and takes inspiration from nature, with its design based on the algorithm of the way plants grow towards the light.[3] Ceiling heights are 3.1 m with a fully glazed exterior to maximise views.[5]

One of the major aspects of the building will be its emphasis on sustainability, with features such as gas-fired for on-site power generators, to reduce impact of CO2 production, 50% greater ventilation than most Australian office buildings, with also use of River Heat Rejection process to reduce strain on the cooling towers as well as saving millions of litres of water. There is also a proposal for a water recycling plant for the building for waste water management to be used in conjunction with rainwater tanks for use in toilets and irrigation. Blinds will be sensor-activated to trap hot air before pumping it outside.[5]

Construction

Excavation of the basement levels was conducted while the floors above were being conducted, a process referred to as the top-down method.[3]

The building's topping out was celebrated on 18 May 2011, with two utilities floors remaining to be completed.[5]

Tenants

Confirmed tenants include Ernst & Young, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, Gadens Lawyers and Norton Rose Lawyers.[5][1]
