The genesis of Brookfield Place began with a call-to-market by BHP who, in 2006, was seeking new accommodation in the Perth CBD.<\/p>
Responding to that call, Brookfield held a small invited design competition, which yielded the team of Sydney-based fitzpatrick+partners and local architects, Hassell. Their bid was successful, and the preferred proponents went about developing a design.<\/p>
In the course of the process, BHP lifted its accommodation requirement from 40,000 sqm of space to 60,000 sqm and the overall project expanded to 76,000 sqm.<\/p>
In 2008, Brookfield began construction of Brookfield Place Tower 1, a 45-storey office tower that serves as the centrepiece for Brookfield Place.<\/p>
At the time, it was the largest addition to the Perth skyline since the development of the Bankwest Tower two decades earlier.<\/p>
Brookfield Place today comprises a mix of the old and the new; painstakingly restored heritage buildings including Old Perth Boys\u2019 School on St Georges Terrace reflect the city\u2019s past, while the new office towers enunciate Perth\u2019s status today.<\/p>
With new bars, restaurants and blue-ribbon retail tenancies, the buildings\u2019 rabbit-warren basements have been transformed into a complex of intimate and delightful spaces opening onto a bi-level internal street to create an urban topography rarely discovered in Perth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
