07/09/2010 GREEN TOWER READY TO SPRING UP IN PARRAMATTA CBD
A sleek new tower with a green focus has development approval to be constructed in Parramatta. 111 George Street will provide forward thinking businesses with a competitive advantage in more ways than one, according to Derek Zillman, Director of m2 Office Leasing.
The state of the art tower has been designed by Architectus, the creative masterminds behind landmark buildings including 1 Bligh Street and the unique Macquarie Bank headquarters at King Street Wharf in Sydney amongst others. The building, which is designed to achieve a 5 star green star rating, is to be developed by Eureka. Eureka is a Fund Manager with approximately $4 billion of real estate assets currently under management. m2 Office Leasing has been appointed to lease the project in conjunction with Jones Lang LaSalle and the team is excited at the prospect.
“111 George Street offers a terrific opportunity for commercial and government organisations to relocate into brand new A grade premises in a thriving business district,” said Tom Mott, Associate Director of m2 Office Leasing.
“Its central location in Parramatta, Sydney’s second largest CBD, offers absolute convenience for workers, which is imperative for organisations trying to attract the highest calibre staff.”
Space for businesses of all sizes: When completed, 111 George Street will offer approx 22,000m2 of space over thirteen levels, including a cafe and retail. Within the building there will be a range of leasing opportunities for virtually any size or type of business operation – from small occupants to large scale call centres, corporations and government departments.
Derek predicts that the building design and green credentials will play a big part in the leasing success of 111 George Street.
“Research shows that 91 per cent of people believe workplace design impacts business success - and Architectus has certainly taken this view into consideration. Open, flexible spaces, floor to ceiling glass and balconies with outstanding views, are bound to win the admiration of prospective tenants.”
Environmental sustainability: 111 George Street has been designed with a focus on environmental sustainability. Sustainable building practices employed will include both mechanical and facade design initiatives. The north facade will use a louvre system to treat direct sunlight and allow for high visibility glazing. Darkened and recessed glazing on the east and west facades will control light and heat while maintaining maximum natural light. A passive chilled beam air conditioning system will deliver 100 per cent fresh air to each level of the building with no recirculation, providing thermal, health and productivity benefits. A vibrant cultural centre: Over several years significant government and corporate investment has turned Parramatta into a vibrant cultural precinct which is attracting growing businesses. The area offers the perfect combination of quality buildings, convenience and excellent value. This has been recognised by many of Australia’s largest corporations, including Commonwealth Bank, Telstra, AMP, ANZ and RTA, all of which have established offices in Parramatta.
