NAB was intending to vacate the building when QGC entered into exclusive due diligence to acquire the property. Prior to settlement, QGC re-signed NAB on a new long-term lease resulting in substantial increase in rental income. A targeted a 4.5 Star NABERS Base Building Energy rating was achieved.
NAB also carried out a complete refurbishment of their floors with an A-Grade, 5 Star Green Star fitout. All of the regeneration works were successfully completed with all of the existing tenants in occupation.
