Waterfront Place is nestled against the Brisbane River in the central business district of the city in Queensland. This towering multipurpose skyscraper serves as an office building, entertainment venue, and art exhibition centre. The 160-metre high structure is sectioned into 40 different levels of varying interests.
Waterfront Place Plaza encompasses the notable Eagle Street Pier Complex and its assortment of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. Manicured office floors provide excellent views of the city, river, Story Bridge and offers exclusive sights of the distant islands speckled across Moreton Bay. A piano is located near the entrance of the building and workers are often greeted with morning music.
The central location of Waterfront Place is consistent with ample public transportation options. The destination can be walked to from the Eagle Street Pier ferry stop, City Cats Riverside stop, and multiple public bus stops.
Waterfront Place was meticulously designed by the architect Cameron Chisholm Nicol and opened in 1990. Incidents of window panels falling from the building were recorded throughout the years and finally attributed to a glass impurity, causing the need for replacement of many of the defective products. The most devastating event occurred in 2011 during the great Brisbane flood, contributing to the closure of Waterfront Place for many days.
