History

Since its construction in 1972, 160 Ann Street, Brisbane has had various owners.

In November 1995, Zurich Australia, part of the Zurich Insurance Group, bought it for $41.75 million. [7] In 2005 it sold the building to Precision Group [11] who, in 2006, transferred it to the Investa Property Group as part of a property swap. [12] [13] [9] Its present owners, CorVal Partners, acquired the building in 2012. [14] [10] [15]

In 2009 a study of the building was carried out as part of a Solar Hearting & Cooling Programme of the International Energy Agency. [16] [17] It was funded by the Australian Research Council and "considered as a 'Critical Case' representing common physical and operational characteristics of typical high rise office buildings in Australia". [16] [17]

In 2011 Central Queensland University commenced its Brisbane campus in the building. [18] [19]
