News Release News Release 420 George Street, Brisbane welcomes another new tenant ARL joins a growing number of businesses leasing office space in the North Quarter CBD building 30 March 2016, Brisbane – Leasing activity ramps up at 420 George Street as ARL joins a growing number of businesses taking up residence in the popular Brisbane CBD premises. Enjoying more leasing transactions than any other building in the area, Knight Frank’s Leasing Executive for Brisbane, Kyle Cully and Leasing Executive for Brisbane, Matt Barker, have negotiated deals for 850sqm of office space at 420 George Street in the past six months. The building’s most recent tenant, ARL, has signed a five-year lease for 330sqm of office space. The receivables management company chose to move into 420 George Street as it saw an opportunity to upgrade its premises while remaining within the Northern Legal precinct. It joins a number of recent tenants who have moved into the George Street location in the past six months, including Fisher Dore, Dan Casey Barristers, and various independent barristers. According to Mr Cully, tenants are attracted to the property largely due to its close proximity to the law courts and major CBD developments. “With the new Supreme and District Court located directly opposite and the Brisbane Magistrates and Commonwealth Law Courts close by, 420 George Street is ideally situated in the North Quarter precinct. The area has seen significant growth over the past decade with developments such as Santos Place and 400 George Street strengthening the corporate tenant mix. “Additionally, 420 George Street provides a unique offering due to the exclusivity it can provide with its floor plates averaging 467sqm. These are ideal for small to medium sized firms looking to enhance their brand profile and secure a whole floor tenancy.” According to Mr Barker, recent refurbishments and attractive amenities are another key driver for the growing interest in 420 George Street. “There are existing fit outs in place within the building, making it easy for tenants to simply adapt the fit outs to suit their needs without additional outlay. The workstations are in good condition, the kitchens are already there – businesses just need to tweak the space to suit their requirements and move in.” Recent building works and upgrades at 420 George Street include a new modern foyer with an integrated café, new facilities such as showers, toilets and bike storage, a full refurbishment of all floors including new bathrooms, and substantial upgrades to the building services. Additionally, the owner and manager, Forza Capital, is upgrading each of the floors’ common areas and refurbishing lobbies on each level of the building. Prior to Forza Capital’s purchase of the building, 420 George Street underwent a major refurbishment program, making it now one of the best-presented buildings in that part of the CBD. The property is a 13-storey office tower within the north quarter of Brisbane’s CBD, located within close proximity to the Queen Street Mall retail precinct and close to public transport. Furthermore, 420 George Street is only blocks away from the announced Queens Wharf development, the highest profile and most significant development in Brisbane since South Bank was completed in 1988.

    1 Airport OLS Penetrations by Existing and Planned Structures in the Sydney and Brisbane CBD It is crucial that the safety implications arising from the recent incidents involving a Qantas airbus A380 following take-off at Singapore airport on the 4th of November, 2010 and a B747 departing the same airport two days later are fully appreciated by governments at all levels. Although the problems were serious enough, they could have been a lot worse and could well have occurred at Brisbane or Sydney airports. To further illustrate what happened to the A380, the following interim list of 18 items damaged by the exploding engine was released to the media on the 11/11/2010. 1.Massive fuel leak in the left mid fuel tank (there are 11 tanks, including in the horizontal stabiliser on the tail); 2.Massive fuel leak in the left inner fuel tank; 3. A hole on the flap fairing big enough to climb through; 4 The aft gallery in the fuel system failed, preventing many fuel transfer functions; 5 Problem jettisoning fuel; 6 Massive hole in the upper wingsurface; 7 Partial failure of leading edge slats; 8 Partial failure of speed brakes/groundspoilers; 9 Shrapnel damage to the flaps; 10 Total loss of all hydraulic fluid in one of the jet'stwo systems; 11 Manual extension of landing gear; 12 Loss of one generator and associatedsystems; 13 Loss of brake anti-skid system; 14 No.1 engine could not be shut down in theusual way after landing because of major damage to systems; 15 No.1 engine could not beshut down using the fire switch, which meant fire extinguishers would not work on thatengine; 16 ECAM (electronic centralised aircraft monitor) warnings about the major fuelimbalance (because of fuel leaks on left side) could not be fixed with cross-feeding; 17 Fuelwas trapped in the trim tank (in the tail) creating a balance problem for landing; 18 Left wingforward spar penetrated by debris With so much damage to the aircraft, it’s clear that all on board were extremely lucky.
