Katherine JimenezFebruary 18, 2014

Investors are being offered a rare opportunity to acquire a 50% share in the new Queensland headquarters for GE Australia in Springfield Central.

The soon to be completed GE Queensland headquarters, located in the central business district of Australia’s largest master planned city, Greater Springfield in the heart of South East Queensland, is being offered for sale with three adjoining future development sites.

The 31 Barry Alexander Drive site - known as Parkside - has a total land parcel of 16,880 square metres.

Knight Frank’s Grant Whittaker and Ed Sutton, in conjunction with Savills Peter Chapple and Anthony Ott, are marketing the GE building and development projects on behalf of master developer, Springfield Land Corporation.

“Comprising 12,500 square metres of A-grade office accommodation over five levels, the Parkside project will be a landmark asset designed by leading architects Conrad Gargett Riddel and anchored by one of the world’s largest corporations,” said Mr Sutton.

On completion, Parkside will comprise an ultra-modern office tower with ground floor retail and secure basement parking for 229 vehicles. The building is targeting a 4.5 star NABERS rating.

Mr Sutton said the residual land contained in the project’s commercial precinct provided an opportunity to partner with the master developer, Springfield Land Corporation, to undertake a joint venture for the development and delivery of the three separate but adjoining lots. The lots are known as Parkside Two, comprising 1,790 square metres, Parkside Three 4,745 square metres and Parkside Four 5,345 square metres for uses including commercial, hotel and retail, he said.
