Canberra's workplace of the future
To excel in their jobs, an employer needs to provide the environment for their staff to thrive. From the morning coffee, to lunch-time workouts and a comfortable workspace, the Civic Quarter precinct was designed with a focus on the user experience, supporting a work/life balance and encouraging productivity and innovation.
Civic Quarter 2 (CQ2) is the corner stone of the Civic Quarter precinct, offering A-Grade accommodation with the highest environmental credentials, including a 5 star NABERS Energy Base Building rating target. Completed in late 2022, CQ2’s completion delivered 33,000sqm NLA, with typical floor plates of 3000sqm that support flexible working patterns through connected technologies and collaboration.
As well as fronting Northbourne Avenue and Cooyong Street, the development includes four ground-level retail tenancies, significant upgrades along Mort Street to create a high quality, pedestrian-focused public realm, retention of existing mature street trees and new seating areas.
Completed in late 2019, CQ1 was the first building in the CQ precinct and is home to some of the nation’s most premium corporate tenants, such as Datacom Australia, Westpac and St.George, Colliers, CyberCX and more.
In 2023, CQ2 was awarded the winner of ‘Commercial Building over $100M’ in the Master Builders and Asset Construction Hire Excellence Awards.
