Managing the interface between the new buildings, the retained heritage elements, the operating Stage 1 centre and the trading tenants.
Queens Plaza Stage 2
Client
Colonial First State Property Management
Queens Plaza occupies a prominent position at the intersection of Queen, Edward and Adelaide Streets, forming a major gateway to the Queen Street Mall from Central Station.
RCP was Project Manager and Principal’s Representative for Stage 2 of the development, which delivered a 27,000 sqm David Jones department store, a 1,500 sqm Coles Central supermarket, 12 specialty tenancies and 3,000 sqm of commercial office space.
The complex CBD site incorporated two heritage-listed buildings and a retained heritage façade, alongside two new four-storey buildings integrated with the existing centre.
Construction was delivered while David Jones and specialty retailers continued trading. RCP managed design coordination, procurement, staging and handover, carefully sequencing works around operating tenancies, public access and the busy surrounding streets.
The completed development helped establish Queens Plaza as a major retail destination in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD.
