2 Riverside Quay, Southbank – construction completion
On Friday 3rd March, 2017 we celebrated the end of construction of 2 Riverside Quay with over 100 guests on the beautiful sun-soaked rooftop terrace. Achieving practical completion two months ahead of schedule, 2 Riverside Quay is a testament to the exceptional hard work of the team and our partners. Mirvac worked in close collaboration with PwC to create a bespoke Head Quarters using innovative design and construction techniques to deliver 12-storeys of A-grade office space above an existing public car park.
The Melbourne city skyline provided the perfect backdrop for the celebration, with our event company curating a colourful, lively and vibrant space complete with a gelato cart from a local gelataria. Simon Healy, General Manager of Commercial Development, welcomed our guests and introduced three key speakers, Daryl Browning, CEO of ISPT; Karl Fender, Director of Fender Katsalidis Architects; and Peter Konidaris, Managing Partner of PwC.
Riverside Quay is a world-class office precinct, set to transform Melbourne’s Southbank into a vibrant community hub and unique office environment. The building will be one of Melbourne’s leading environmentally sustainable buildings, with a 5 star NABERS Energy rating and 5 star Green Star as built. Featuring striking architecture from Fender Katsalidis Architects, the building maximises the natural light exposure of the north facing outlook. The commissioned public art is a significant element of the public space and cleverly conceals the carpark at the base of the building.
Mirvac acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of Australia, and we offer our respect to their Elders past and present.
