Constitution Place
Situated in the heart of Canberra City, Constitution Place redefines Canberra commercial A grade office space. Drawing inspiration from Walter Burley Griffin’s design for the Capital, Canberra’s newest premium business address is a future-proof 80,000m² development consisting of two commercial office buildings and a three-level underground carpark basement, all on the doorstep of the famed Parliamentary Triangle and Lake Burley Griffin.
Offering uninterrupted lake views, 1 Constitution Ave stands a sweeping 12 stories at 25,000m² GFA. Breathtaking upon entry, both commercial and hotel ground floor lobbies exude grandeur, featuring high ceilings and floor to ceiling stone finishes. Home to ARC Café in the commercial lobby; A five-star, four level, 130-room A by Adina Hotel; and A grade commercial office spaces for Evans Dixon, Victory Offices, KPMG, Minter Ellison and King Wood Mallesons spanning from levels six to twelve. All featuring bespoke, light-filled contemporary fit outs. With a mid-level plantroom, the building was articulately designed as two stacked volumes.
Mirroring the curvature of London Circuit, the second building 220 London Cct is the ACT Government’s new headquarters features a dynamic external and internal presence, at 20,000m2 NLA. Expansive ground floor atrium lightened by floor to ceiling glazing and architecturally designed skylights, five levels of Activity Based Working (open plan) office floors accessed via either curved glazed lifts or an engineering masterpiece of a corkscrew staircase running from ground floor to level five and features a mezzanine level childcare.
Bringing vibrancy and colour to the area both day and night, Constitution Place features a distinctive laneway between the two buildings offering some of Canberra’s best retail, dining and fitness tenancies. The laneway creates a connect between Constitution Avenue to the newly landscaped Legislative Plaza and the Canberra Theatre. A design seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces together through the use of bifold full height glazing.
Under both new buildings sits an expansive 25,000m² three level basement carparking and end of trip facility. Constitution Pace is a gold-rated WELLs and 5-star NABERS energy-rated precinct that sets a precedent for all future development in the city.
