A development application for the project was lodged with the Brisbane City Council in October 2015.[1][2] The University of Queensland, that owned the adjoining Customs House, unsuccessfully appealed the approval.[3][4][5]
Demolition of the former office building commenced in October 2017, with construction of the footings for the new building commencing in May 2018.
Construction was suspended in February 2022 after contractor Probuild was placed in administration.[6][7] It will be completed by Hutchinson Builders.[8][9]
Settlements commenced in November 2023 with residents moving in shortly after. [citation needed]
