900Ann

Hutchinson Builders has joined with long standing partners Consolidated Properties Group (CPG) and Charter Hall to design and build an iconic new home for freight company Aurizon.

The construction of this new corporate headquarters for Aurizon at 900 Ann Street in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley is, in many ways, a natural extension of the long standing collaboration between Hutchinson Builders, developer CPG, and the property financier and owner Charter Hall. Aurizon is currently based in the Charter Hall owned tower at 175 Eagle Street, which CPG originally developed and Hutchies built, and which has become CPG's new headquarters. Hutchies also delivered the BOQ building in the Gasworks precinct at Newstead for Charter Hall. We have a solid history of consistent performance together.

The 15 level A-Grade, 5 Star NABERS and Green Star rated building is one of the few commercial projects currently in market and is a true integrated fitout. It will be developed on a site bordered by Ann, Brooks and Church Streets, alongside the existing heritage listed Holy Trinity Church. The distinctive design includes a large feature atrium, which presented novel technical requirements in terms of mechanical design, environmental impacts and operational considerations for the owner.

The building also incorporates a separate brick 'annexe' to the building as a sensitive visual transition between the heritage and modern structures. When completed, the building will provide 19,980m² of net leasable area.

Iconic Australian architect, John Wardle (JWA) was selected to design the base building, with HASSELL undertaking the fitout for the anchor tenant Aurizon. Hutchies' history with HASSELL is another long standing partnership. We have collaborated with them on a range of projects over a 20 year history, including the interior design for the BOQ building at Gasworks.

It is being constructed for $92M, with the base build component worth $85M.
