Central Plaza
Right at the heart of Brisbane’s central business
district lies a unique and priceless asset of the city, the
Central Plaza.
Completely owned by Queensland Investment Corporation,
Central Plaza is comprised
of Central Plaza One, Central Plaza Two, and soon to be
completed Central Plaza Three. Central Plaza One is one of
Brisbane’s famous skyscrapers with a height 174m(571ft).
This 44-storey building used to be the tallest building in
Brisbane in 1988 before it
was surpassed in height by the
Riparian Plaza in 2005 and Aurora Tower in 2006.
The Central Plaza Two, with a height of 110m, is a
smaller building but with the same design as the Central
Plaza One. The two towers stand near each other with Central
Plaza One occupying the corner of Queen St and Creek St
while Central Plaza Two is located between the boundaries of
Creek, Elizabeth and Eagle Streets.
The Central Plaza is consists of cutting-edge buildings with
advanced and state of the
art facilities. The air conditioning, elevators, and
security services are all controlled by computers. Satellite
disks and fiber optic cables are used by the two towers to
communicate with major satellite systems. There is also a
window cleaning mechanism, located at the top of the
building which can rotate around 359 degrees.
Situated in “The Golden Triangle” in Queen Street, the
Central Plaza has an excellent l ocation being close to
important government and private offices. The Queensland
Head
Office and other foreign banks in Brisbane are minutes
away from the Plaza. It is also few meters away from the
Stock Exchange and General Post Office. Luxury hotels like
the Marriot, Stamford, and Hilton Hotel are only stroll away
from the plaza.
