Brookfield Office Properties Inc. today announced that is commencing construction of the second tower at Brookfield Place Perth.
Tenant pre-commitments for approximately 40% of the 16-level, 34,000-square-meter (366,000 square feet) premium-grade office tower include professional services firms Deloitte and Corrs Chambers Westgarth, as well as Brookfield Multiplex.


Kurt Wilkinson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Brookfield's Australian Commercial Operations, said:

"The addition of the second tower at Brookfield Place will complete a precinct aggregating approximately 120,000 square meters (more than 1,292,000 square feet) of office and high-end retail accommodation, food and beverage and service outlets to Perth's CBD.
"We continue to attract quality tenants to Brookfield Place, and when combined with the world-class building design, extensive amenities and links to the rest of the CBD, it is the most sought-after business address in the city."



Brookfield Place Tower 2 will have large, efficient, column-free floor plates of approximately 2,100 square meters (22,600 square feet), conference facilities, and 110 parking spaces and is targeting a 5-Star NABERS base building energy rating. The project also incorporates a sheltered upper-level walkway across Mounts Bay Road to provide greater connectivity between the Perth Bus Port, Esplanade Train Station and Perth's City Centre.
Construction of the new office tower will be undertaken by Brookfield Multiplex and is expected to be completed late in 2015.
Brookfield Place Perth is emerging as the pre-eminent commercial precinct in Australia with premium office space, sophisticated restaurants, retail space as well as arts and cultural events for the public.
