100 St George's Terrace
4 Star Green Star Rating
Project OverviewThe 100 St Georges Terrace development is located in the centre of Perth's Central Business District (CBD). The site sits strategically in the traditional heart of the CBD combining the assets of both the prestigious St Georges Terrace business address and the dynamic retail presence to Hay Street Mall.The development comprises a 24 level office tower with 17 levels of office space totalling 31,443 square metres net lettable area, with three levels of retail space within the podium and four basement levels of parking. Typical office floor plates are 1,765 square metres. The sloping site has frontages to both St Georges Terrace and the Hay Street Mall. Upon completion, 100 St Georges Terrace will be one of the most technologically advanced and sustainable buildings in the Perth CBD, incorporating the latest technological and sustainable building practices. The design features of 100 St Georges Terrace cross over core design for maximum tenant flexibility; high performance double glazing to reduce energy consumption whilst providing maximum natural day lighting; and, projecting sunshades to northern facades to enhance energy performance year round. The 100 St Georges Terrace development (Office Tower) has been designed to set a new standard in sustainable design for commercial office space in Western Australia and, was awarded a 4 Star Office By-Design V2.0 'Best Practice' Green Star Rating in August 2008. At the time of writing, 100 St Georges Terrace is 97% pre-committed to the following major tenants, all of whom were attracted to the building by the asset and the owner's sustainability objectives and, who share these values: Apache Energy nab National Offshore Petroleum & safety Authority Kellogg Brown & Root Inpex Browse 100 St Georges Terrace is currently under construction, with an expected mid-2009 completion date. |
