When completed, the 258m-high building will be the city’s second-tallest tower.
Sweett's team of Brisbane-based consultants will provide a full scope of project management related services for developer CBus Property.
"We are incredibly excited to be delivering yet another significant commercial development in Brisbane and are delighted to be working with CBus Property," said Sweett's Australia managing director, David Hayden.
The building is a focal point of the Queensland government's strategic masterplan and will house the Queensland government headquarters. It will stand on the banks of the Brisbane River and provide 75,000m2 of commercial office space across 41 levels with a total floor area of 120,000m2.
"We have a strong pedigree of consulting on tall and super-tall buildings, currently including high profile developments such as The Shard in London, the CMA Tower in Riyadh, the Wuhan Tower in China and now 1 William Street and OneOneOne Eagle Street, which are two of the tallest buildings in Brisbane", said Sweett Asia Pacific managing director Kim Berry. “Whilst the experience gained on these complex and demanding structures readily translates across borders, they are each unique to their specific locations and a high degree of local knowhow is essential in their successful delivery, something Sweett Group excels at providing."
Adrian Pozzo, CBus Property chief executive officer, said: "Sweett Group not only had the high-rise experience we were looking for, they offered a proactive risk management approach."
Sweett's commission on 1 William Street stretches over the next four years and encompasses all phases of the development, which has been designed to achieve 5-star Greenstar and 5-star NABERS ratings once completed.
