THE York Building at Beenleigh has finished construction and the fit out is underway on offices, making way for the yet-to-be-released anchor tenant to move in over coming weeks.
Art murals on the sides of the buildings have been much talked about, with people questioning whether a person floating in a pool is complete.
“Is someone going to fix her face,” a shopkeeper in the CBD said.
Another questioned whether she was meant to be alive.
But the good news for the CBD is that new tenants are expected to breathe more life into the area, supporting local cafes, retail outlets and shops.
The building was initially funded by Alder Developments and investLogan, an investment company wholly-owned by council but independently run.
The new mixed-use precinct sold to Australian Unity Investment Real Estate Limited (AUIREL) for a record $33.52 million in July.
The York was purpose-built to drive economic growth within Logan’s key business centres and the opening of the building signified the next stage in the evolution of Beenleigh.
The seven-story office tower is the first major commercial office development to be delivered in the area in a decade. It houses a rare mixed-use precinct offering a total of 4,660sqm of commercial space including four SoHo apartments, a ground floor retail space, and a dual-level underground car park.
The York builds on the overall aims of the Beenleigh Town Centre Master Plan.
