Project Overview

Innovation in Commercial Steel Construction

Jubilee Place is an award-winning 14-level commercial office tower located in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, combining heritage preservation with cutting-edge structural steel innovation. The tower's defining feature is its external exoskeleton structural system — a bold architectural expression that also resolved complex engineering constraints imposed by the adjacent heritage-listed building.

Beenleigh Steel Fabrications fabricated and erected 3,600 tonnes of structural steelwork for this landmark project, including the dramatic external exoskeleton frames, internal floor structures, and complex transfer elements that span over the heritage building.

The project recognised BSF's capability to deliver innovative, architecturally exposed structural steelwork to the highest fabrication quality standards.

  • Innovative external exoskeleton structural system

Our Role on This Project

🏗️

Exoskeleton Fabrication

Precision fabrication of the architectural external exoskeleton steel frames, requiring high-quality surface finishes and exacting dimensional tolerances for exposed structural members.

🔩

Transfer Structures

Complex fabrication and erection of transfer beams and columns spanning over and adjacent to the existing heritage building without structural impact.

Quality & Finish

All architecturally exposed steelwork fabricated to premium surface finish requirements with comprehensive quality inspection at every stage.

The Challenge

Heritage Preservation Meets Structural Innovation

Jubilee Place presented one of BSF's most complex urban structural challenges — engineering a 14-level tower structure that spans over and around a protected heritage-listed building, without impacting its structure or operations.

The exoskeleton system required exceptionally precise fabrication of exposed structural members that would remain visible in the completed building, demanding premium surface preparation and finishing to architectural standards.

Precision Exoskeleton

Delivered complex external exoskeleton frames to tight dimensional tolerances with premium architectural surface finish.

Heritage Compliance

Successfully managed all works adjacent to and over the heritage building without structural impact or programme delay.

Industry Recognition

Project received industry award recognition for design innovation and structural steel construction excellence.
