Case Study

The Project

Riparian Plaza is a 53-storey commercial building in Brisbane’s CBD containing 30,500m2 of premium office space, retail accommodation, luxury apartments and multi-level car parking comprising 213 car spaces. This building has maintained a premium grade standard since being commissioned in 2003, and wanted to be compliant to the NABERS Base Building rating scheme and improve on their existing base building rating.
VAE was confident we could significantly improve Riparian Plaza’s rating and to demonstrate that confidence, we offered the client a performance guarantee: provide a $200,000 bank guarantee that they could cash if we did not elevate their NABERS rating to five stars by September 2017. It was crucial VAE met this standard as the client guaranteed this five star rating to their tenants who were seeking to improve their sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
