"HQ embraces the emerging ethos of commercial building design, giving high priority to the environment and people. The design and construction of HQ incorporates world-leading environmentally sustainable initiatives such as floor plans that maximise natural light and facade systems that allow natural ventilation along with solar gain."
"Leighton Properties is a member of the Green Building Council of Australia and was the developer of the multi-award winning Green Square. This was the first project in Queensland to receive a 5-Star Green Star rating, and Green Square North Tower became the first building in the state to achieve a 6-Star Green Star-Office Design v2 rating. Since then, Green Square has been awarded the Environmental Protection Agency's award for Sustainability in a Built Environment. With HQ, Leighton Properties is aiming to raise the bar yet again."
Recognising Fortitude Valley as an area capable of significant growth, the Brisbane City Council has turned to proven developer Leighton Properties to establish a strong sense of loyalty within the growing residential populace of the precinct.
"HQ is poised to become an iconic symbol of the valley area, offering locals and visitors alike a contemporary, urban character," says Borger. "Two towers will offer more than 42,000m² of commercial and retail space, combining business with leisure. Together with its enviable location, HQ will be the linchpin in Queensland's entertainment capital."
