144 Edward Street, Brisbane is a high-rise office tower located on the corner of Edward and Charlotte streets in the Brisbane central business district, Queensland, Australia.

In the late 1970s, National Mutual appointed Conrad Gargett & Partners Architects, Connell Hagenbach structural engineers and Norman Disney & Young building services engineers, to design the tower in the late 20th century International Style and named it the National Mutual Centre upon completion in 1980. [3] [4] Then, National Mutual moved to 144 Edward Street during the height of the battle between National Mutual and AMP for dominance of the Australian life insurance market. [5] In 1999, Axa took control of the National Mutual Centre [1][2] and renamed it Axa Asia Pacific. As a result, the tower became the Axa Australia Centre in Brisbane.
