QBE takes lease at Chifley Square

By a staff reporter

QBE Insurance Group Ltd has taken a 10-year lease out for the top four floors of Sydney's Chifley Square, which is set to be finished by August.  

Mirvac Group, who owns the 34-storey office building with Keppel REIT, told the Australian Securities Exchange today that signing QBE on took the building to more than 56 per cent pre-committed.  

QBE's new offices, on the corner of Hunter Street and Elizabeth Street, will cover about 2,800 square metres.

The group's move comes more than year after law firm Corrs Chambers Westgarth took out a 12-year lease at the site for 8,000 square metres, or about 42 per cent of the building’s net lettable area.
