HQ for a major public space




The soon-to-be-completed HQ is set to become Fortitude Valley’s new major public event space following an agreement between joint venture developers Leighton Properties and Leighton Contractors, and the Valley Chamber of Commerce (VCC) this week.
Located on the corner of Wickham and Brookes streets (across from Emporium), HQ will comprise two world-class office towers, boutique shops, restaurants, wine bars and a 2,500 square metre central public plaza.
The partnership will allow the the Valley chamber to use HQ’s expansive central plaza for public events. As a part of the agreement Leighton Properties and Leighton Contractors will also donate 70 square metres of premium retail space within HQ for the VCC to operate from rent free for nine years. The VCC partnership with Leighton Properties at HQ was announced onsite on Wednesday March 17.
