The Project

Inspired by Brisbane and its natural environment, 360 Queen Street is a premium-grade commercial tower in the centre of Brisbane’s Golden Triangle. Developed by Charter Hall and Investa, and built by Hutchinson Builders (Hutchies), the building includes more than 45,000sqm of office space across 33 levels, with high-quality End-Of-Trip (EOT) facilities, arrival experiences, integrated business hub and wellness centre facilities, mixed-mode wintergardens and landscaped terraces.

Designed to create a new benchmark in workplace experience, the building targets 6 Star Green Star, 5 Star NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) and WELL Platinum Certification, with a focus on wellness, sustainability, technology and operational performance.

The Integrated Building Platform (IBP) brings together Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), lighting, metering, access control, fire, CCTV, Wi-Fi, vertical transport, Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, hydraulics, waste, digital signage, and smart locker systems into a single operational interface, creating an open, future-ready digital building ecosystem.
