1 William Street (colloquially known as the Tower of Power)[1] is a skyscraper in William Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. At Шаблон:Convert, it is the third-tallest building in the city and 12th-tallest building in Australia as of 2022.[2] The modernist style office building is located in the Brisbane CBD, in close proximity to Parliament House. The building was developed for the Queensland Government as part of their plan for a renewed Government Administrative Precinct and to meet accommodation demands. It was completed in October 2016 with over 5,000 government staff moving in over six weekends.[3][4]
History of the site
The site was formerly bisected by Short Street and comprised a number of different allotments and uses. Buildings occupied the area as early as 1854 and it was used for a variety of functions including; manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, housing, and electricity generation.
The Queensland Government began purchasing the properties in the 1960s as part of their Government Precinct development scheme and began demolishing the existing buildings, some dating to the 1850s. The demolition of the adjacent Bellevue Hotel and construction of 80 George Street saw the spoil from there dumped on the 1 William Street site. Short Street was closed and all of the site was amalgamated into one allotment, 1 William Street.
In 1974, the site was allocated for future government offices.[5]
1 William Street is a Шаблон:Convert site, owned by the Queensland Government, and from 1982 until 2013 it was used as a government car park. The site encompasses a whole city block between William, Alice and Margaret Streets and Riverside Expressway.
Cultural heritage significance
The site has archaeological potential of possible cultural heritage significance. Remnants of 1850s buildings are visible above the current ground level and it is likely that significant sub-surface fabric survives.
Development
In August 2012, Expressions of Interest were called for from experienced organisations interested in bidding for the project. It was proposed that the site would be available to the successful party under a long-term lease arrangement and that the Queensland Government would take a long-term lease over approximately Шаблон:Convert of the office space in the development.[6]
In September 2012, six developers were shortlisted to develop proposals for a new high-rise tower. The shortlisted companies were Cbus, Lend Lease, Brookfield, Westfield, Leighton Properties and Grocon.[7][8]
In December 2012, Cbus was announced as the developer for 1 William Street.[9] The developer was granted a 99-year lease over the site and a guaranteed 15-year government lease for Шаблон:Convert of office space.[10]
Design
1 William Street has a gross floor area of Шаблон:Convert and a net lettable area of Шаблон:Convert of office space, excluding retail which covers Шаблон:Convert. The design includes 318 car bays.[11]
About Шаблон:Convert has been allocated for government space, leaving around Шаблон:Convert to be subleased by the private sector.[11] It is intended to receive a 5-star NABERS office energy rating and a 3-star NABERS office water rating. The building is the first new commercial office building developed for government in the Brisbane CBD since the completion of the government office building at 33 Charlotte Street in 2004.[12]
The theme and colour scheme for each floor has been dedicated to a Queensland icon or natural phenomenon.[13]
