Springfield Tower, the first of many high rise buildings planned for the 320 hectare CBD of Greater Springfield (twice the size of Brisbane CBD), is quite literally soaring even higher today as a 24.5 metre spire is erected on top of the 10-storey tower.

Springfield Land Corporation Chairman, Dr Maha Sinnathamby, said the spire would take a 150 tonne and 80 tonne crane to install and would become an icon on the Springfield skyline.

“Parkside is set to become the premiere business address alternative to the Brisbane CBD. The erection of the spire on Springfield Tower will mark a significant step forward in the development of Greater Springfield CBD,” Dr Sinnathamby said.

“As well as providing a landmark for the Greater Springfield CBD, the Tower’s spire will be a communications antenna for Telstra.”

This milestone in the development of the Tower, which continues to fly high, comes on the back of Springfield Land Corporation announcing it has pre-let over 60% of the office space.

“Major tenants so far include GHD Engineering which has taken 600 square metres, Landpartners which has taken 484.4 square metres and Quest which has taken 441.2 square metres,” said Chris Schroor, General Manager of Commercial Projects for Springfield Land Corporation.

Other tenants include Cardno, Insurserv and Telstra.  Springfield Land Corporation will also base their headquarters at the Tower.

Designed by Haysoms Architects and constructed by Hutchinsons Builders, Springfield Tower is a 4.5 Green Star building and comprises 9,311 square metres of A-Grade office space featuring large efficient floor plates, high levels of natural light and secure underground parking.

There is still 3,500 square metres of space available at Springfield Tower, with a range of options available.

“We will happily work with prospective tenants to create the ideal office environment catered to their company’s needs at leasing rates half that of the current CBD office space,” Chris Schroor said.

Springfield Tower is situated in the heart of Parkside, part of Greater Springfield’s growing CBD, with easy access to Universities, public and private schooling, Orion Shopping Centre, 24 hectares of parklands and the award winning Brookwater Golf Course.

Construction of Springfield Tower is scheduled for completion in the next few weeks.
