Brisbane CBD · Margaret Street
A fourteen-storey CBD office tower positioned where government, commerce and education converge — 160 metres from the new Albert Street Cross River Rail station, steps from Parliament House and 1 William Street.
Built in 1983 and progressively upgraded, 126 Margaret Street offers character and practicality that newer buildings can rarely match at this price point. The building's podium and tower floors accommodate suites from under 70m² to full floors of 544m², making it genuinely suited to small and growing businesses — not just large corporates.
A $3.5 million fit-out investment program is delivering high-quality, fully fitted suites across a range of sizes, ready for immediate occupation. Tenants move in and start work.
High-quality spec fit-outs delivered across multiple floor plates — move in without delay or capital outlay.
Join an established mix of legal, education, technology, engineering and professional services firms.
Steps from Parliament House, 1 William Street, Queen's Wharf and the new Albert Street rail station.
Asking rents from $700/m² gross — well below premium-grade buildings and without the premium-grade wait times.

Parliament House and 1 William Street are within a five-minute walk — attendance at short-notice meetings is realistic without the cost of a government-precinct address.
The District and Supreme Courts, legal aid offices and the Crown Law complex are all close by. WKB Lawyers already operates from the building — testament to the precinct's suitability for commercial, property and corporate law firms of all sizes.
Accountancy, financial advisory, HR consulting and management consulting firms benefit from a prestigious but accessible CBD address. The building's existing tenants include Allegis Global Solutions, Dean & Ling and Helloworld — a cross-section of services typical of the tenant mix.
The southern CBD is Brisbane's most concentrated student precinct. QUT's Gardens Point campus anchors the eastern end; extensive student accommodation fills the blocks in between. Holmes College and Australian Management College demonstrate how education providers thrive here at commercially attractive rents.

The flexible floor plates suit small technical teams who want a professional address without the overhead of a premium-grade tower. The building's IT infrastructure and on-site car parking are practical advantages for client-facing firms.
