The Brisbane office leasing market has continued to show signs of positivity with tenants showing particular interest in spec suites or high quality existing fitted options. Caden research shows that since January 2021, 84% of deals done in A-/B+ Grade were in fitted spaces, Likewise, 93% of deals completed in B Grade have featured either spec or existing fit outs. Following this trend, Brisbane Criminal Lawyers recently relocated internally from Serviced Offices and into a spec suite at 239 George Street as negotiated by Caden Office Leasing’s Chris Chapman.

239 George Street is a building that has long been synonymous with Brisbane’s top law firms. The asset is well positioned on the corner of Adelaide and George Street, only a short work from the Courts and Queen Street Mall, Australia’s busiest pedestrian shopping precinct.

Over the last 12 months, 239 George Street has seen improvements made throughout the building including:

• Ground Floor Foyer refurbishments,
• Introduction of building concierge,
• New End of Trip facility,
• On-Floor Lift Lobby works,
• Construction of new speculative fit outs.

Brisbane Criminal Lawyers are a specialist boutique law firm that specialise in criminal defence. The firm was previously based in the building’s serviced office floor. Growth within the business, and a desire to have their own space is what fuelled the business to commit to a long-term lease within the building.

The space the business committed to is a 177m² speculative fit out designed by Archway Commercial Interiors to specifically target the legal sector. The space features several offices, workstations and a good quality front of house area which will provide both functional work space whilst enabling Brisbane Criminal Lawyers to host networking sessions/functions for clients.
