Alceon Qld is pleased to announce that we have reached Practical Completion of the base building works for the refurbishment of the former TAB building in Albion. We have officially handed over the building to the new tenant, who will now complete their internal fitout. Once regarded as one of the ugliest buildings in Brisbane, this iconic structure has undergone a remarkable transformation. Previously considered only fit for demolition, the building now boasts a renewed life expectancy of 30+ years. Project Highlights: Retained Structure: Instead of demolishing the building, we opted to retain the main structure, preserving the architectural heritage and significantly reducing environmental impact. Internal Overhaul: The internal floors were completely gutted, all asbestos was safely removed, and we replaced all essential services including electrical systems, air conditioning, lifts, and other critical infrastructure. Sustainability: The refurbished building is designed to achieve a 5 Star NABERS rating, reflecting its high environmental performance. By retaining the existing structure, we have saved over 6,000 tonnes of CO2, underscoring our commitment to sustainable development. Future-Proofing: The building's refurbishment ensures it is equipped with modern facilities, extending its usability and functionality for decades to come. The newly named Hudson Common will provide an active and vibrant workspace in the heart of Albion, with ample room for further expansion. This project exemplifies our dedication to revitalizing urban spaces and creating sustainable, future-ready environments. We look forward to seeing Hudson Common thrive as a central hub in Albion, contributing positively to the community and setting a new standard for urban refurbishments. #AlceonQld #HudsonCommon #Albion #Brisbane #BuildingRefurbishment #SustainableBuilding #GreenBuilding #NABERS5Star #UrbanRevitalization #Architecture #Sustainability #ModernWorkspace #CO2Reduction #BuildingTransformation #CommunityDevelopment #EnvironmentallyFriendly

4moI doubt very much as to the TAB building being widely regarded as ‘ugly’. This building was a game changer when it was designed, and as a result was meritoriously awarded by the Australian Institute of Architects as such.
