Charter Hall Group has announced that its unlisted wholesale partnership, Brisbane Square Wholesale Fund, has entered into an exclusive heads of agreement with Q Super to pre-lease Charter Hall’s proposed Brisbane Square Tower 2.
Charter Hall said the tower was a proposed new office building in Brisbane’s CBD’s Norther Quarter Precinct, and would increase the firm’s total investments in Queensland to over $3 billion.
The project is forecast for completion in the second half of 2020 and will accommodate a consolidation of Q Super’s four existing office facilities in Brisbane.
Charter Hall chief executive and managing director, David Harrison, said: “This unique gateway site will provide Q Super with iconic office solution providing their people and members with a great workspace experience”.
“The delivery of what will be a premium addition to the Brisbane CBD skyline will showcase Q Super and a revitalised Brisbane CBD,” he said.
“The project will increase our total investments in Queensland beyond $3 billion.”
New data has shown a progressive deterioration in risk appetite among instos even prior to Donald Trump’s latest round of tariffs.
UniSuper has reached “peak investment” in US assets and is now preparing to reassess its exposures amid ongoing sharemarket volatility.
Investors have slashed their US equity allocations to the lowest level on record, according to new data from Bank of America.
The message from experts in international trade and economists is that the Australian government should refrain from retaliating with reciprocal tariffs.
